A couple of images from Rebecca and Colin’s beautiful leap year wedding (insert “lucky guy only has to remember his anniversary once every four years” joke here)

Thanks for sharing a little sneaky peak Terence. We can’t wait to see more. He may only have to remember the anniversary once every four years but he has four years to save for one awesome gift :)March 15, 2012 – 12:47 pm
Honored. Humbled. Happy. I received a Fearless Award for this image taken at Karen & Colin’s wedding this past year.
Check out all of the recent winners of the Round 8 Fearless Photographers contest here. These images are so inspiring and all of my fellow Fearless Photographers will continue to push me to create more unique images, and capture those “hold your breath” moments.

I know it’s cliche to say that you become really close with your clients, that you develop a relationship and understanding and that they are “the most amazing clients ever! I’m so lucky!”. You’ve read enough wedding blogs – you know that everyone says it. But do they MEAN it?!
When Shevaun and Derek hired me a year ago to be their wedding photographer, it started off with an ‘oh yeah, this is gonna be something special’. Constant communication, Facebook chat sessions, coffee meetups, and even dress shopping, yes, I got to see the dress as Shevaun was trying it on (Seriously? Did you really read it that way?). She wanted my opinion on her dress. How would it photograph? Does it look good? Is it too long? Does it go with the classic black Louboutin pumps? That was my first time shopping for a wedding dress. Ever! I gotta tell ya – there is so much more to looking at dresses than I could have imagined. I kinda feel sorry for you girls – there are just many options! Dudes, we gotta learn to give our girls a break! They do this all to impress us (and other girls too apparently just to sass it up). To all grooms – I’m sorry in advance but I gotta support team bride when it comes to being picky. This stuff is difficult!!
Ok, so coming back off the tangent – Shevaun & Derek are definitely the type of people I intend on remaining friends with. They are true. They are sincere. They laugh at my super rad jokes and most importantly, they trusted me with everything on their day. I want to call you friends, and I will continue to call you friends. I’m looking forward to our next coffee meetup where I’m gonna show you my new sample album, because it features your amazing wedding! Yay!
Shevaun & Derek – you’ve seen your images featured on Style Me Pretty already, but here is the story that I saw on your wedding day. I hope you enjoy it all over again.
Don’t forget to check out the sameday slideshow I put together for them to share on their wedding day. You can find thaaaaaat here!

So amazing as always T Law!February 9, 2012 – 3:45 am
When Carey called me up right after Christmas, actually, it may have actually been right after New Years, I knew she had taken maternity leave from her position as the Event Coordinator at Teatro, but I had no idea that she was a few short days away from getting married! I was so happy for her! And not to mention completely honored and feeling giddy that she asked me to photograph their wedding. I mean, hey, lets face it…she’s seen her fair share of photographers come through the hallowed doors of the famous and luxe Teatro.
The intimate wedding inside of the Conservatory at the Calgary zoo was beautiful, with their family and friends surrounding them holding candles during the ceremony which was punctuated by the massive fans and heater/humidifier turning on every 5 mins. Hey, it wasn’t that bad – it just forced everyone to snuggle up to the couple so that they could hear their story and vows, which really, kinda helped complete their day. Who wouldn’t want to be this close to a couple in love? Maybe some of that passion they have for life and each other would rub off on them through osmosis? Worth a try…
Congratulations Carey and Octavio, and an even bigger congratulations on the new addition to your family. So happy that your little one decided to let you get married on your day, and only show up on its designated due date!

I am so excited to share with you a sneak peak from Carey and Octavio’s wedding that took place yesterday here in Calgary. I first met Carey while shooting Lisa and Dan’s wedding at Teatro, where Carey was the wedding and events coordinator (who has since left on maternity leave – congrats Carey!). In her position at Teatro Carey had the opportunity to see countless other photographers’ work so I was especially flattered that she loved my work so much that she asked ME to shoot her intimate wedding ceremony with 25 friends and family at the Calgary Zoo Conservatory. Following the ceremony we headed over to the Le Germain Hotel to capture some stunning creatives of this oh-so-in-love couple. I love that every image we took, they just wanted to be close to each other. Embracing. Kissing. Smiling. I loved that, without thinking, their hands would naturally connect while touching her baby belly.
Enjoy this sneak peak.
