Amazing. Yep. Amazing. Laura & Steven had pretty much what I’d call a miracle of wedding weather … in the midst of the most rainfall in recorded history in Calgary, they managed (with a little help from Mom) to pull off a mostly rain-free wedding day that turned out to be a real barn-stormer. But more about barn-storming later… As is the usual, I signed on for the full day – from brides getting ready all the way through to the...
This week – another collection shot at the Stirling Club in Las Vegas. I could probably shoot there every week for a year and not get bored… it’s a big place with lots of great details and decor. I’m going to start with something a little different this time… a very short video; a few seconds of Lacey getting the finishing touches on her makeup, and a few of the still images of when she’s done. Now for the...
This is from one of several shoots I managed to sneak out for while in Las Vegas for WPPI. If you’re a wedding photographer stuck in the dark and frozen winter of Calgary, then going to the light and warmth of Vegas also carries a pretty strong temptation to bring along a camera and do a little shooting. And if an event has a gorgeous young woman in a white dress (in this case Amanda), the event is professionally styled, decorated, dressed, adorned,...
Olivia and Jeremy had one of those simple, elegant weddings I wish more couples would go for. The day is always less stressful when there is less to go wrong, so everyone looks fresher, happier, and it really shows in the images. And to be selfish, it means there is usually more time for quality photography, instead of trying to squeeze 15 minutes out of 20 family members at a location 30 minutes away in Calgary traffic. But their day was terrific, and...
Last week I photographed Sonia and Mike on their big day – and what great weather for an outdoor wedding it turned out to be! Calgary went from ‘Severe Thunderstorm Watch!’ to ‘Meh.’ to ‘Awesome!’ in under 24 hours, which is pretty much normal… but no less stressful. They chose simple and beautiful locations; from the hotel suites for their preparations, to Baker Park; which is a really popular spot in the...
Thanks Calgary, it was a blast!
Stay tuned for my next adventures. It'll probably involve robots and car chases...Being a wedding photographer was blast, but it’s time to focus on other areas of photography that interest me.
Why the change?
Driving around between locations for 16 hours a day kills my creativity, and summer in Calgary is basically a giant traffic jam. That’s it. That’s the reason.
