Melonie and Ryan - Fort McMurray Wedding

I make roughly two trips to my home town every year for weddings or family shoots.  Fort McMurray is a town like no other as it's nestled in this wonderful river valley with two grand rivers merging near the downtown center.  Each and every time I venture up the highway I wonder what will be different this time and what type of experience it will be.

This trip was for Ryan and Melonies' wedding and the moment Jesse, Leslie and I walked into to meet up with guys in the morning and found that they were half dressed with only their suspenders and a tie to greet me, we knew this was going to be a fun wedding!  

Melonie and Ryan had this great vibe about them.  They both laugh a lot and they both smile a lot.  Those types of things truly make my job both easier and fun.  I truly hope I gave you two the wedding pictures you dreamt of and that when you look back at them many years from now you can see how wonderful an experience your day was!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving on the coast!

As always I want to make a special thanks to my good friend and talented Photographer Leslie Brown.  Leslie just gets better and better and I love shooting with her.  

Another special thanks to the Radisson  Hotel in Fort McMurray.   Such a lovely setting for our group lunch and photo's.

Awesome!

Shot this summer in Fort McMurray Alberta.

Seattle, Vancouver and Kelowna

I'm gearing up to head to the coast and interior BC for the next two weeks.  It should be a great two weeks with a couple model shoots in Seattle and then Vancouver and wrapping up the swing with a wedding in Kelowna.  I've been working very hard to get everyones galleries up and I thought I'd post a few teasers from the past few weeks until I get back from this trip.  Have a great couple weeks and I can't wait to see everyone when I return home!

I was one of the bridesmaids for the Pelley Wedding and I saw the picture teaser that you put up. I just want to say its beautiful. As well, you are an amazing photographer. I have been in TONS of weddings and you are by far the most original, easy going and fun photographer I've ever had the pleasure of being in a photoshoot with.
You are definitley going to be recommended to the rest of my friends getting married and *crosses fingers* maybe one day at my own lol.

Thank you for the easy day!

I can't wait to post all the art from last week-ends wedding here in Edmonton at the Hotel Macdonald and I'm so glad you loved the teasers we gave to you.  Emilie and Jamie you two made our day!  Non stop laughing, an incredible wedding party, a wonderful venue and Jolyn from Nuance Occaisons really made this a day to remember.  

It was so nice to hear such kind words for everyone, but you guys did all the work, we just made sure to keep up! :)

New Finao Album!!!

I got in my first studio sample from Finao and boy was I impressed.  This Album rocks!  I decided to get one of the larger albums, this one being 12 inches by 18 inches with the Armour cover and Leather binding.  This is truly an album that has to be seen and touched.

Warm hearts on a cold day.

I can honestly say that the wedding that Leslie Brown and I shot this week-end was easily the coldest one.  Leslie is extremely talented and has shot with me on numerous occasions and really helped me out on this brisk January day. 

We had weather that would make a polar bear hide.  With the mercury dropping to levels near -40C it didn't stop Christie and Matt from gearing up for a small shoot in the Winter Wonderland.  I'm very impressed with how wonderful the shots came out and how strong Christie was to bear the cold.  Even as our fingers became lifeless the newlywed couple smiled and laughed and put on a happy face for our session.  Matt and Christie, you truly had a Fort McMurray winter wedding.  Congratulations to the both of you and I can't wait to go through all these shots for you both.
