Kelowna Wedding Photographer - Blake and Sara

  British Columbia in the fall, what more could you ask for?  Well how about a wedding at one of BC's finest vineyards, Summerhill. For me personally this was a very special wedding as one year earlier I had shot Chantal and Mike's wedding here in Edmonton and I guess I did a good enough job to warrant her brother Blakes wedding to Sara.  

  I was very fortunate on this occasion to have my good friend Fran Chelico shoot with me.  Fran is an outstanding photographer from Vancouver.  What I most enjoy about her work is her feminine touch, vision and understanding.  Let's face it, I'm a guy and I see things very differently, but having been able to shoot with people like Fran and Leslie Brown this past year has really opened my "dude eyes" to how women feel and see on their wedding.  I really think I learned a lot from these experiences that I'll take with me to every new wedding I shoot.

  This was equally as beautiful as his sisters wedding, waking up to a warm sunny day we were welcomed to the Robert home where the Katz and Robert families gathered prior to the wedding.  I really enjoy watching the parents during these moments as every expression is so intense.  I forget how powerful that day is for a parent and I'm reminded of my own mother and father and how proud they were at my own wedding.  

  The pictures will walk you through the entire day but I have to mention once more how gracious both families were to us.  I always want the friends and families to know that we appreciate it so very much.  It's quite a day and we work very hard to make the moments count and it is always such a blessing to have helping hands through out the day.  And speaking of helping hands, thanks so much to Ria and Danielle from Stage Right Etc who really created a beautiful setting and a wonderful experience for everyone.

  Please enjoy the images and thanks so very much again for everything.  It truly was a wedding to remember...in fact I may have a hard time getting the game at the reception out of my head!haha

One Final note:  Try the Platinum series Meritage from Summerhill....incredible!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer - Erika and Chris

Chris and Erika are a great couple and they have known each other since high school and you can really see how much in love they are.  I tell most people the same thing when it come to my wedding photography, "when a couple can think of no-one but each other then pictures take care of themselves".  I truly hope these shots captured only a touch of the sentiment that you to expressed to each other that day.

We sure had our handful that cool day didn't we?  It was that really cold October day where the wind blew right through you, yet that didn't stop our bridal party from heading outdoors.  If I were to do it again I would, but I think we'd avoid that high hilltop viewpoint.  I think I left some of my favourite fingers there.

Please enjoy the slideshow and the images I have posted and thanks so much again for inviting us into your day.  We won't forget it!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer - Salima and Ali

I've mentioned it before, but I'm always very flattered when I meet a couple that attended a wedding I shot earlier and wanted me to shoot their own.  Salima and Ali and good friends of Amin and Shailla whom we shot last summer.  It was such fun seeing many faces and families from the year before once again and no surprise to us how welcomed we were into the community.  I really can't express how fantastic it is when I leave a wedding to hugs and handshakes from the mothers and fathers.  I'm  so pleased to know that we are making friends and making the families feel comfortable through-out the wedding.

Salima and Ali's wedding was fast paced and so colourful.  As a photographer it's almost sensory overload sometimes, with bright saris and the smells of great food in the air.  I don't think I'll ever tire of those things and I thank you two so much again for inviting us into your lives.

Kevin and Jocelin - Las Vegas Wedding Teaser

I'm pretty excited about posting this wedding with Kevin and Jocelin.  I'll keep it simple for the blog post though and I'll sum it up in one word "Vegas".  Truly an incredible wedding that had us shooting where Britney got married and ended up with a Timberand and Justin Timberlake party.  Wow, that was awesome.  Enjoy the teasers for now guys and I'll get back to work!

That's right the same classy joint that Spears was married at. (they didn't actually get married here, but I thought it would be fun to go there)
