Wedding Inspiration

Last Night I Photographed A Proposal At Moraine Lake. Because Moraine Is So Hard To Get Into & There's No Way To Contact Any One Because There's No Cell Service, I Met Up With Amal & Harini & We Drove Into Together. He Told Her That He Booked A Photo Session For Them So It Wasn't A Total Surprise.⁠ ⁠ We Started With A Few Photos Along The Way Up The Rock Pile & I Let Them Stop To Take In The View. We Jumped Into A Few More Photos Because I Kinda Wanted Harini To Not Be Expecting The Proposal When It Came. We Waited It Out For A Nice Spot That Was Semi-secluded. Then I Said We'd Do A Few Individual Photos... This Gave Amal The Chance To Grab The Ring Box & Get Ready. I Had Harini Turn To Look At At The Lake And Do That Insta Photo That Everyone Does... 😁⁠ ⁠ Amal Approached, They Hugged, Then He Dropped To One Knee & Asked The Big Question!! Of Course Harini Said Yes! The Best Part Was Watching Her Excitement & Her Fighting Off The Tears... So Truly Happy!! You Could Just See Her Glowing For The Rest Of The Night! It's Nights Like These That Really Make Me Love The Work That I Do!! Wanna See More? Go Check Out My Facebook Page For A Big Sneak Peek Post!l

Inspiration Details!

I Joke A Lot About How You Never Know What You're Going To Get In The Mountains. It Can Be So Unpredictable... Maybe The Unpredictability Is Predictable?⁠ ⁠ Yesterday Was Looking To Have Lovely Weather (well, In My World Lovely Means Not Too Hot And Clouds, But Bright Clouds) For Kerri & Jason's Wedding At Emerald Lake Lodge. As The Ceremony Was Starting There Was A Shift And The Darker Clouds Blew In. There Were A Few Well-timed Booms Of Thunder During The Ceremony And The Lightening Flashes Were Close By. And The Rain Came. Out Came The Umbrellas & We Carried On With The Ceremony.⁠ ⁠ Once The Ceremony Was Done Everyone Ran To The Clubhouse To Wait Out The Rain... But You Can Only Wait So Long. We Did Family Photos With The Family Under The Overhang Of The Club House And I Stood Out In The Rain. We Made Use Of The Clear Umbrellas For Wedding Party Photos. You Can't Stop Because Of The Weather, Just Gotta Make The Most Of It!⁠ ⁠ We Got A Bit Of A Break In The Rain & Ventured Out For Kerri & Jason's Portraits. We Ended The Night With A Pretty Amazing Rainbow... Just A Reminder That It's Not All Bad! If You Want To See More From This Wedding, Including The Rainbow Shot, Go Check Out My Facebook Page!

Cheers To This Holiday Week And Happy Thanksgiving.

There Are A Few Things I Really Love About My Job. I Get To Meet People From All Over & I Get To Hang Out With Them When They Are Having Really Awesome Days. How Can You Not Be Happy When You Just Got Engaged & You're On Vacation In The Most Beautiful Place? Yeah, I Know. Life Is Rough Over Here.⁠ ⁠ Last Night Was The Last One For Alex & Chloe For Their Visit In Banff National Park. Earlier In The Week Alex Proposed To Chloe At Moraine Lake & We Went There Last Night To Celebrate With Their Engagement Session. Now They Are Head Back Home To Nyc (and I'm Hoping I Can Convince Them To Shoot With Me There When I Go In December!). A Big Congratulations To Them!! And I Have To Add... The Best Part Of This Is Getting To Do A Butt Grab In A Public Place 😁🤣😜

The Kiss.

Bride & Groom, Santorini, Elopement Wedding!

Bow Lake. On The Icefields Parkway. Highly Underrated For Photos. This Spot Is Amazing! You Get Incredible Light At Sunset. You Aren't Elbow To Elbow With Tons Of Other People Like You Are At Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake Or Peyto Lake. It's A Great Spot If You're A Bit On The Shy-er Side.⁠ ⁠ It's Quiet & Peaceful. It's A Great Place For A Picnic! You Don't Have To Hike Up Steep Inclines. You Can Run Around & Be Playful And Not Worry About Breaking Bones.⁠ ⁠ There Are Epic Mountain Views & The Wildflowers Here Are Gorgeous!⁠ ⁠ There's Also A Really Pretty Lake If You're Into That Blue/green Mountain Water Thing.⁠ ⁠ There's So Much More To The Canadian Rockies... So Let's Go Explore & Try Something New. I'll Take You To Beautiful Places That Are Just A Little Off The Beaten Path That You Will Fall In Love With!⁠ Are You Willing To Try Somewhere New? ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Random Fact About Me: I Am A Total Old Building Nerd. The Older The Better, And I’m Super Fascinated By Just Standing In A Space Next To Stones Placed By Another Person Hundreds Of Years Before. I Like To Imagine What Their Life Was Like, What The Rest Of The Town Looked Like Around That Building.⠀ .⠀ Here’s One Right Here In Lil Santa Barbara, Built In 1782! I Like To Think That This Newlywed Couple Followed In The Footsteps Of Generations Before Them, And Now They Are Part Of The Presidio’s Immense History.⠀

I've Been To Moraine Lake A Lot This Year And It's Always Changing. The Time Of Day, Thew Cloud Cover, The Light, The Wind, It All Changes How The Water Looks. Sometimes It's The Crazy Bright Blue, Sometimes It Almost Looks White (windy Days Where The Water Is Choppy Especially).⁠ ⁠ We Got A Mix Of Moraine For Taylor & Mark's Engagement Session Monday Night From The Super Blue To Nearly White. And We Got The Cold & The Wind. It Didn't Feel Like August... The Air Had An October Chill To It.⁠ ⁠ That Didn't Stop Them From Having Fun & It Gave Me The Chance To Wrap Them Up In A Blanket When We Came Down Off The Rock Pile! I Love Blanket Snuggle Photos, So When The Temperatures Drop, It Makes Sense To Snuggle Up!⁠ ⁠ I Had An Awesome Time With These Two! I'm Sad For Them That They Are Headed Back Home But Hopefully Will See Them Again Some Day In The Mountains! As For Me, I'm Back At Moraine Lake Again Tomorrow!

Okay, Okay, Santa Barbara Courthouse, We Get It, You’re The Fairest Courthouse Of Them All! We Agree! Stop Showing Off.⁠⠀

Driving Into Canmore From Calgary Yesterday Was.... Interesting. It Was Storming Pretty Hard. Lots Of Rain. In The Distance You Could See Small Patches Of Blue Sky. Well, I Never Found That Blue Sky. ⁠ ⁠ We Started Rochelle & Danick's First Look At Goat Pond Where It Was Raining Lightly. Then The Rain Came Harder. The Clouds Dropped Lower. The Mountains Disappeared. But We Continued On In The Rain & I Think We Got Some Great Photos!⁠ ⁠ We Headed Back Down The Mountain To Ceremony That Had Been Moved Inside. Rochelle & Danick Said I Do! In Front Of Family & Friends. The Rain Slacked Off A Little. After Family Photos Were Done, I Whisked Them Off To Try To Get A Little Time With Just The Two Of Them Where They Didn't Have To Hold Umbrellas.⁠ ⁠ We Wandered A Ridge That Overlooked Canmore. We Were Treated To Awesome Low Clouds & The Mountains Revealed Themselves Again. The Best Part Was A Man Came Out And Offered To Let Us Shoot In His Garden! How Lucky For Us To Mix The Colourful Garden With The Moody Mountain Landscape!⁠ ⁠ Most People Don't Hope For Rain On Their Wedding Day, But Rochelle & Danick Rolled With It & We Really Did Have The Most Lovely Day!

Loving The Layers Of Colors In This Image. That To-die-for Bougainvillea Bouquet, That Misty Veil, The Walls Of Succulents. Yay.⁠

Friday Morning I Met Up With Allison & Zach At Lake Minnewanka For Their Wedding Photos... These Two Had Ran Off Previously With 2 Friends And Got Married At Starbucks (best Place!) Before Roadtripping It To The Mountains!⁠ ⁠ I'm Not A Morning Person But It Was Amazing To Go To Minnewanka In The Morning! It Was Just Perfect! We Got Reflections & Such Pretty Light! Allison & Zach Were So Much Fun To Hang Out With! Hoping You're Enjoying The Rest Of Your Trip Before You Head Back Home!!
