Michelle and Paul – Calgary Engagement Photographer

As you may be able to tell from the length of this, I have kind of fallen in love with this session. Michelle and Paul were just so much fun to hang out with, talk about their upcoming wedding and enjoy the gorgeous Alberta summer evening. In addition to humouring me with some of my crazy ideas, they were kind enough to allow me to experiment with an antique camera from the early 1920s and I am so glad they did.

You may also notice over the next few weeks some changes with the blog – it is a work in progress!

Enjoy and leave a comment!

Tammy and Jonas – Calgary Engagement Photography

Time for a big stretch! I feel like I just came out of photographic hibernation.

My is it good to be back and shooting! Not to mention kicking things off with this rocking couple – Tammy and Jonas.

Turns out Tammy has actually been head over heels in love with Jonas since the tender age of 13. Now, being a typical male it took him several years to catch onto this. But are we ever glad he did! :)

Thank you so much Tammy and Jonas for letting me photograph you and get to know you better. I stand by my statement that you two are the most adorable couple this side of the big pond!
Enjoy!

Vanessa and Greg – Calgary Engagement Photography

This may just be one of the greatest loves stories I have heard to date.
Turns out Greg had a mean crush on Vanessa throughout elementary school. Now, of course like any good love story, there is the other guy. That’s right, the note-passing nine-year old boyfriend. Due to said rival suitor, they graduated, went on there way and that seemed to be the end of it. But of course, through the magic of facebook and a mutual friend, they reconnected and well… things started to happen.

Several weeks ago, Greg sent Vanessa on an epic cross city hunt which led her to his Nose Hill Park.

The final location was Greg,

down on one knee.

and she

replied

“YES!”

So there always happens to be stories from the e-session itself. As I was peeking at a possible angle to photography a shot (this is after Vanessa has been mentioning she has been hearing something rustling around at which point Greg and I just laugh at her), there is this crazy amount of rustling and lo and behold not 10 feet from me a pheasant comes squalling (I really can’t describe it.. half flight half run) from the brush. Needless to say I pretty much jumped out of my runners. There goes Thanksgiving dinner!
