Bearspaw Lion’s Club Wedding: Maddy + Mitch

1M ago
There was so much to celebrate at Maddy + Mitch’s wedding day at the Bearspaw Lion’s Club: the closing of the “long-distance” chapter of their relationship, their commitment to stand by one another for forever, and having all their friends + family from across Canada in one room. But there was a touch of sadness too as their day also served as a goodbye to those friends and family as they would soon be embarking on a 2 year adventure to the NWT. The love these two have for each other + their people (and that their people have for them) was palpable, and it took all that I had not to tear up li ..read more

It had been a few years since I photographed at Azuridge, so I was thrilled when Lauren + Tyler told me their wedding was going to be held there! I absolutely love this property - there are so many unique and interesting backdrops for photos so you never have to head offsite for photos. The unique architecture blended with beautiful landscaping makes this one of my favourite venues to photograph at. Lauren + Tyler were the definition of chill on their wedding day - you could tell they were simply just excited to celebrate with those closest to them. Their ceremony was held outdoors looking ont ..read more

Willow Lane Barn Wedding: Melissa + Arbee

Their love story could be a movie - boy meets girl, girl is dating another boy, so boy decides to patiently waits because according to him: “I knew I had met the love of my life when she smiled at me". So when the time finally comes when girl is no longer in a relationship, boy makes a point to check in on girl. Girl starts to look forward to those check ins, and the rest, as you say, is history (seriously, somebody bring this movie to Netflix please). If I could relive this day all over again, I would. Melissa + Arbee are not only some of the kindest people I’ve ever met, but their friends ..read more

Modern + Industrial Charbar Restaurant Wedding: Ginny + Jack

I could not have been more excited to celebrate with Ginny + Jack at their fall wedding at Charbar. I’ve been eyeing up this venue since I first started photographing weddings, so I was absolutely PUMPED when Ginny + Jack told me this was the venue they had chosen. I absolutely love the industrial feel of this venue, with its brick and wood beams, and the big windows that brought in the prettiest natural light.  We started the morning with their first look outside their hotel, and then hit up two of my favourite portrait locations. To stay in line with their industrial/urban feel of their ..read more

Intimate Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant Wedding: Kaity + Chris

This was my first time getting to photograph a wedding at Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant (located in Fish Creek Park) and I couldn't have been more excited to do so. The venue, surrounding gardens, and picturesque views of Fish Creek Park made it the perfect location for Kaity + Chris' intimate summer wedding. I met Kaity when we were both students at Mount Royal University, so I was honoured (and SO pumped) when she reached out to me about photographing their special day.  We met for their first look behind the restaurant in the surrounding gardens, and Chris' reaction to seeing Kaity has ..read more

My favorite engagement session locations in Calgary

Choosing a location for your engagement session can be tricky. When couples come to me asking for an ideas, the first thing I’ll tell them is to thing of a location that holds some sort of meaning - it can be where you had your first date, where you got engaged, or somewhere you simply like to hang out. If that fails to prompt any inspiration, I often will ask what kind of “setting” they’re most interested in and send them a list of ideas that I think might work. If you’re in need of some inspiration for your engagement, I thought it would be fun to share 3 of my favourite fool-proof locations ..read more

What a joy it was getting to celebrate with Aibhera + Paulo on their wedding day. Their ceremony was held at St. Albert the Great Church, followed by portraits at Rotary Park and Platform 9 parkade (two of my fav spots). These two and their friends laughed their way through portraits (making my job incredibly easy). Champagne was shared, laughs were had and the joy felt by these two and their friends and family radiated all day long. Everything came together perfectly - Ashley and her team from Fiore Fine Events allowed everything to go without a hitch. I hadn’t had the chance to photograph at ..read more

Rainy Downtown Calgary Wedding: Jenn + Chris

A love story as old as time - an evening at the Ship and Anchor Pub, boy “accidentally” orders too many tequila shots and asks girl and her friend if they wanted one (an “offer I couldn’t refuse” says girl). Inseparable ever since, Jenn + Chris committed to forever on August 27, 2022 (complete with 2? 3? rounds of tequila shots). It might have been the rainiest wedding day I’ve had in my 8 years of being a photographer, and if these two were disappointed, you would never have been able to tell based on how much joy these two radiated being with each other. Their day had no shortage of personal ..read more

Summer Backyard Wedding: Megan + Brennan

From the moment I read Megan + Brennan’s initial inquiry, I knew I was going to love them. “Backyard reception” “Homemade wine'“ “Burger bar'“ "Magical mix of woodland fairytale + backyard lawn games party" “Mini Aussidoodle ring bearer” (!!!!!) Their day had it all and more. I think my favourite thing about these photos is just how much you can feel the emotions. From their first look where not a dry eye could be found, portraits where they each had the biggest smiles on their faces, to their ceremony and reception where they couldn’t keep their eyes off one another, I love how these two wear ..read more

It was an absolute joy to celebrate with Brandon + Tiffany and their families. From their engagement session in the mountains last year to their wedding day a few weeks ago, I have loved getting to know these two and was delighted to celebrate with them and their families. Their morning started with a tea ceremony (which is always a favourite of mine to photograph), photos with their sweet pup Bodhi (dressed to the nines may I add), and then it was off to the ceremony. Afterwards, we stopped in at Menchies (the spot they went on their first date) for some frozen yoghurt and then we were off to ..read more
