Today I Was In Canmore For Alex & Daniel's Wedding! These Two Toughed Out The Cold As A Snowstorm Started To Blow In (the Same Storm That Has Me Sitting In A Hotel Room Halfway To Home Since The Roads Were Iffy). I Am In Love With The Reflection!

I Feel Like For A Lot Of Photographers That Photoshop Is A Dirty Word. "oh, She'll Just Photoshop That Out" Is A Phrase That Makes Me Cringe Every Time I Hear A Wedding Guest Say It. I Don't Like Photoshop. I Don't Use It Much. I Don't Want To Spend Time "fixing" A Photo After I Took It Especially If It's Something I Can Control. I Don't Think Most People Know What They Are Saying When They Say "photoshop It!". Do They Know How Much Extra Time That Adds To Each Photo To Fix Things That Could Have Been Avoided In The First Place? Instead, I'll Get Creative With What I Have In Front Of Me. Like For This Photo Of Alex And Daniel. There Were A Bunch Of People And Cars Marring The Background. Instead Of Shooting With The Plan To "photoshop It" Later I Decided To Change Up My Angle, Sit In A Very Awkward Squat And Use My Subjects To Block Out Undesirable Objects In The Background. I Like To Get It Right In Camera. For The Photographers Out There, How Do You Feel When You Hear People Saying For You To "photoshop" Things?

I Am Obsessed With This Location At The Best Of Times, But Even More So When There's A Fresh Dusting Of Snow And When It's Still And There's A Spectacular Mirror Reflection! It Was Perfect For Alex & Daniel's Wedding Day! Doesn't This Make You Want To Have A Winter Wedding? . . . . . #rockymountainbride #canmore #banff #elopementlove #intimatewedding #winterfun #banffnationalpark #lakelouisephotographer #lookslikefilm #reflection #yycphotographer #kananaskis #winterwonderland #soloverly #canmorephotographer #reflections #mountainsarecalling #lookslikefilmweddings #tribearchipelago #banffphotographer #muchlove_ig #couplesgoals #banffbride #huffpostido #loveellope #shootandshare #canmorewedding #calgaryphotographer #dirtybootsandmessyhair #banffwedding

For The First Time In Many Years, I Am Actually Caught Up On Editing. I Can't Remember The Last Time I Didn't Have Anything To Edit! I'm Caught Up On Albums And Just Waiting For An Army Of Them To Eventually Get Delivered To My House. So Now I Can Finally Work On Blogging And I Have Over 60 Sessions That I Need To Blog Since The End Of June. Crazy Right? I Just Blogged This Heli Wedding Today, So You Should Head Over To My Blog And Check It Out And A Bunch Of Other Recent Weddings That I Have Posted! Of Course The Editing Break Won't Last For Long As I Head Out Of Town On December 19 And Won't Return Home Until Christmas Eve After Shooting Three New Weddings And Then I'll Be Up To My Ears Editing Again. But For Now I'll Enjoy A Few Leisurely Days!

My Sister Just Got Married And I Took On The Great Challenge And Honor Of Being Her Photographer And Bridesmaid!

I'll Be Headed Back To Emerald Lake In Just A Few Days But It's Not Going To Look Anything Like This. I'll Also Be Shooting My Last Wedding Of 2018 On Nye At @emeraldlakelodge And I'll Be Kicking Off The 2019 Wedding Season Just A Few Days Later, Also At Emerald Lake. It's A Good Thing I Like That Place! I Also Just Blogged This Emerald Lake Lodge Wedding Today, So You Can Head On Over To The Blog To See More Of It!

A Wedding Donut Bar Is A Great Cake Alternative!

I Remenber When I Took This Picture Like It Was A Second Ago. The Moment I Pressed The Button 📸, I Could Feel Her Hapiness And Tranquility That She Had Found Her Soulmate!. ..all Of This Feels Through My Lenses. How Beautiful The Sunshine Perfectly Glittered In The 🌊 Ocean Behind Her...this Moment Was Everything. #ilovemyjob

For 2019 I Was Really Hoping To Shoot More At Peyto Lake And Get A Break From Moraine Lake (and This Session Is On The Blog Now, By The Way). As Beautiful As Moraine Lake Is, It Can Be Super Frustrating To Try To And Shoot There. I Was Thinking I'd Convince More People To Go To Peyto Lake Next Year Instead... Until The Notice Came Out Last Week That Peyto Is Closed For Upgrading With A Crazy Long Timeline... So I Guess I'll Be Shooting Moraine Again This Year.
