Sean & Melinda: Sneak Peak!

July 28, 2008

This Saturday I had a BLAST with Sean & Melinda at their wedding near Whistler at the Brew Creek Lodge! It was my first time at the lodge and I was VERY impressed! If you are looking for a breathtaking, peaceful, private, spacious venue with a woods-y fairytale-like feel to it, this is SO it! 

I am just working on the photos at the moment, and I am having such a difficult time picking my favorites to post here lol! The day was PERFECT! And I am starting to suspect that Sean and Melinda have super powers…. no, really. Thirty minutes before the OUTDOOR ceremony, it started to rain… and literally (and this is no joke) the SPLIT-SECOND Melinda walked outside, the rain shut off… and not a single drop the whole day afterwards… it looked pretty grim, then it was just …. perfect… I didn’t think about it at the time, but now I think I might hire them for future weddings  just in case the weather doesn’t cooperate! :)
Stay tuned for more photos soon, and of course the slideshow as well!

Ben & Catherine: Wedding!

July 24, 2008

I honestly can’t believe how many photos of Ben and Catherine’s wedding I absolutely have fallen in love with… its almost sickening how hot this couple is! The whole day was in fact, perfect… it made me numb several times during the day just realizing that this time my best friend of 15 years was the one on the other side of the camera in the tux… and rather than captioning every single one of my favorite photos here, I just really really REALLY STRONGLY recommend taking a few minutes to watch the slideshow at the bottom of this post! Awesome song, awesome wedding, awesome couple… 

The UBER hot dress…

Every wedding should have an elephant….with wedding rings for eyes ;)


I just love this photo!

Ben & Catherine: Sneak Peak!

July 21, 2008

Well I am finally back home from Calgary!!! I will post some highlights from my 3 week ‘business AND pleasure’ trip soon, but for now, here is a sneak peak of Ben & Catherine’s July 19th wedding in Kananaskis! Ben has been my best friend for around 16 years now, and being a part of his wedding meant more to me than I can ever even BEGIN to express.

Right now they are on their way to Hawaii for their honeymoon, and I can’t wait to show them their photos when they come back!

Oh, and today is Ben’s birthday! Happy Birthday Ben!

Keep checking back for some more added photos, and their slideshow in the next day or two!

Shannon & Dan: eSession!

July 14, 2008

Last night I had the honor of meeting Shannon & Dan for their engagement session. We met in Kensington just north of downtown Calgary and had an absolute blast! Shannon is a good friend of Lori (from the previous eSession), and Dan plays in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts! These guys were a RIOT to hang out with! 

Update: Slideshow has been added to the bottom of the entry!





Roadtrip: Johnston Canyon!

July 13, 2008

Last Thursday my buddy Josh and I drove out to Banff National Park for a hike up Johnston Canyon. We were rained on, hailed on, Josh hurt his knee around the 8km mark, I kept getting mud in my shoes and socks…. all in all, a PERFECT hiking trip!

Oooooh, moody! :)

Everytime I come here, I ALWAYS pose for a photo with this goofy tree… yes, it APPEARS I am far stronger than I look… I honestly don’t know where I come up with these genius thoughts….
Josh helping me out… I loosened it for him of course…. ya, thats it…
About 4km up the trail there is a valley with little springs called Inkpots. The colors are amazing IF the sun is out, we waited and waited, but all we got was rain, and sadly… HAIL too!

The Upper Falls, SO beautiful!
