Wedding Inspiration

I'm Going To Be Sad When Peyto Closes In August... But I'm Gonna Shoot There As Much As I Can Until That Happens!

Most Of The Time I Get To Spend The Time With The Bride And Her Bridesmaids, But I Still �like Being With The Groom And Groomsman. Both Are Completely Different Games And Energies And I Enjoy Both Of Them Equally.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 👉🏻 Follow @freireweddingphoto For More 💍⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Wedding Cake!

When You Go To The Mountains To Get Married, You Don't Let A Little Bit Of Rain Stop You From Having Photos Outside! ⁠ ⁠ I Actually Love The Reflections That You Get From A Rainy Day & Everything Just Looks So Fresh & Vibrant After A Rain Shower!⁠ ⁠ I'm Reminding Myself How I Actually Do Like Rain As A Storm Dumps An Abundance Of Water & Hail Outside Right Now!

Bride & Groom! Sunset Photos, Santorini, Greece!

I See These Amazing Views All The Darn Time & Yet I Still Think They Are Unreal. Like How Can A Place Like This Actually Exist? Look At It! This Background Looks Fake But I Know It's Not!⁠ ⁠ Do You Remember The First Time You Experienced The Canadian Rockies & How You Felt? If You Haven't Yet, Do You Plan On Visiting? Do Tell!

Bridal Portrait!

Some People Love Sunrise. Others Love Sunset.⁠ ⁠ I Prefer Sunset & The Magical Blue Hour Just After The Sun Drops Away. I'll Choose That Every Time.⁠ ⁠ I Also Seem To Enjoy Playing With Traffic & Standing In The Middle Of The Road A Lot.⁠ ⁠ What About You? If You Love Sunset Give Me A 🌝. If You Love Sunrise Give Me A 🌞.

Angie & Keith Eloped At @emeraldlakelodge Yesterday. The Sun Was Out In Full Force For Their Ceremony But Then The Clouds Magically Blew In For Most Of Our Portraits! Their Canoe Ride On The Lake Is Just Perfect!

This Is Not Just A Wedding Cake! This Is Real Art.... A Gold Jewelry With Sugar!

It's Been A Little Quiet On My Ig For The Past Few Weeks... For A Few Reasons.⁠ ⁠ 1. I Was Shooting Like Crazy, 5 Weddings In A Row!⁠ ⁠ 2. I Flew Out To Kamloops For This Wedding In The Shuswaps.⁠ ⁠ 3. A Couple Of My Hotels Had Terrible Wi-fi.⁠ ⁠ 4. My Laptop Decided It Needed To Run 20 Slower Than It Used To So I've Been Spending Days Trying To Get It Fixed.⁠ ⁠ 5. I'm Feel The Mid-summer Burnout. I Love All The Shooting But The Before & After Work Is Really Wearing On Me. The Travel Time Is Really Getting Me Down & I Can't Seem To Sleep Anymore. I've Booked A Bit Less For August So I Can Try To Get A Little Time Back For Myself To Shake This Feeling.⁠ ⁠ Last Weekend Was Fun Though, In Spite Of All Of The Stuff That's Going On With Me & The Crazy Weather That Was Repeatedly Thrown At Us For Courtney & Matt's Wedding. Luckily The Weather Cleared In The Evening! If You Have The Chance To Shoot At Sunset... Do It! Sunset & Blue Hour Are My Favourite Time Of Day!!⁠ ⁠

I Know It's The Middle Of Summer, So Why In The World Am I Showing Winter Photos? I Actually Love Shooting In The Winter. My Favourite Time To Be At @emeraldlakelodge Is When It's Full Of Snow. For The This Elopement, The Ceremony Was Supposed To Be At The Viewpoint... But There Was No View And The Snow Was So High There Was Nowhere For Me To Stand For Me To Be Able To See Them... So I Picked This Spot In Front Of The Cabin With A Snow Covered Tree Making An Arch And That's Where We Did The Ceremony! When You Don't Have Guests & Are Truly Eloping, There's So Many Options! This Is One Of My Favourite Ceremonies From Emerald Lake!⁠ ⁠ Are You Thinking About A Winter Wedding? I'd Love To Be The One To Freeze With You & Make Some Snowy Magic!

If You Love Colour, Give Me A 😍⁠ ⁠if You Prefer Neutrals, Give Me A 😱 A Colourful Bouquet Is Just The Thing For A Winter Wedding! All That Colour Really Pops Against The Snow!⁠

Do You Love Blue Hour Too? It's One Of The Only Times I'll Use Flashes Outside. I Love The Crazy Blue Colour That The Background And Sky Turns When You Add Light. I Also Love It Without Adding Light. It's Truly A Magical Time Of Day!

I Photographed A Proposal At Moraine Lake Yesterday! We Had Weeks Of Planning & It All Turned Out Perfectly!would You Want Your Proposal Photographed? Leave Me A 😍 If It's A Yes! If It's A No, Gimme A 😵!⁠ ⁠ After Mike Popped The Question (genna Said Yes, Of Course!) We Wandered The Rockpile For Their Engagement Session! I'm Loving This Angle.. Although That Rock Was A Little Slippery To Stand On... But Worth It!

Everyone Knows #morainelake, #lakelouise & #peytolake Since They've Become #instafamous, But There Is So Much More To Banff National Park Than The Epic Blue-green Waters. Those Well Known Places Are Beautiful, But They Are Buuuuuuuuusy! ⁠ ⁠ I Heard That Parks Canada Closed The Highway Access Yesterday To Lake Louise At 2:30 Pm. I'm Lucky I'm Always Early And Got In At 2:15 Pm. The Traffic Was Bumper-to-bumper Heading Up To Lake Louise & Moraine Lake. It Was The Busiest I've Ever Seen It. In The Middle Of All That, We Were Doing Victoria & Charles' Wedding Photos. We Battled It Out To Get Into Moraine, Climbed The Rock Pile & Shot In Crazy Sun.⁠ ⁠ After That We Headed Up Icefields Parkway & Went To Peyto... We Pretty Much Had The Upper Viewpoint All To Ourselves With Amazing Light... It's All About Timing. After That We Headed To Bow Lake... But With A Quick Stop On The Road To Get A Few Photos... And Then I Took Them Down Into The Ditch. ⁠ ⁠ Yup, This Is A Ditch Right Beside The Highway In Banff National Park & I Think It's Epic. The Best Part? We Had It All To Ourselves!⁠ ⁠ There Is So Much More To Banff Than The Big Lakes... So Let's Go Explore And Find Something New & Amazing!

I Had Spied This Spot When I Was Driving On The Highway Last Week & Filed It Away As A Spot I Wanted To Try To Shoot At. From Above I Thought The Water Was A Puddle... Turns Out It Was A Freezing Cold Mountain Stream... But Anyway.⁠ ⁠ After Kim & Dan's Ceremony & Photos At Peyto, We Were Headed To Bow Lake & I Really Just Wanted To Do Photos Here... So We Pulled Off On The Side Of The Highway & Went Down The Bank. I Got Them Over On The Rocky Area With The Wildflowers And I Looked At The Puddle... And Realized It Was Pretty Deep. I Was Hell Bent On Getting That Reflection Though.⁠ ⁠ So I Took Off My Hiking Boots & Socks, Rolled My Pants Up As High As I Could And Stepped Into That Freezing Mountain Stream To My Knees. Then I Felt The Slick, Goopy Muck That Was Lining The Bottom Of The Stream Squish Through My Toes And Go Up To My Ankles. Yuck. I Waded Out Slowly Since It Was Slippery And Found A Spot Where I Could Get The Reflection & We Waited A Little For My Steps To Be Erased From The Surface.⁠ ⁠ Then We Got Magic! Like Whole Bunches Of Magic! I'm So Happy Kim & Dan Were Ok To Climb Down Into Essentially What Was Another Ditch To Let Me Take This Photo! ⁠ ⁠ Sometimes The Spots That I Want To Take You Seem A Little Weird Or Iffy, But I Swear Its Only To Be Able To Create Something This Amazing For You.⁠ ⁠ And I'm Still Cleaning Mud Out From Between My Toes... That Stuff Was Like Super Glue.
