Wedding Inspiration

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.

Yesterday Was Kind Of A Big Day For Me. It Marked The 12 Year Anniversary Of When I Decided To Make A Real Thing Of This Photography Business & Env Photography Was Born. I Look Back Over The Past 12 Years & Boy Has My Style Changed. I Used To Be All About Industrial, Urban & Grungy; Hated The Idea Of Shooting In Nature. Over Time I've Found What Makes Me Happy & Yesterday's Heli-elopement Is Everything I Dream Of Now!⁠ ⁠ I Got Over My Fear Of Helicopters (thanks Sara & Devin!!) & Spent The Evening Being Eaten Alive By Mosquitos In The Most Beautiful Places With Even Awesomer People. Yesterday's Elopement With Nikia & Jonathan (and Really How I've Been Spending Most Of This Year Is Exactly Where I Want To Be) Has Me Excited To See What The Future Brings! Elopements & Intimate Weddings In The Mountains & In The Great Outdoors In General Is Truly What I Love!⁠ ⁠ Now, Enough About Me. Let's Just Ogle Nikia & Jonathan, Be A Little Jealous Of How Amazing Their Wedding Day Was & Pass Along Wishes That Their Mosquito Bites Don't Burn & Itch Halfway As Much As Mine Do!

Newly Engaged & Feeling On Top Of The World! Ugh, Such A Bad Pun. Shame On Me. I Couldn't Resist Though! Please Don't Hold It Against Me! Taylor & I Had Been Conspiring By Email For A Few Weeks... She Thought That Dan Was Going To Propose On Their Trip To Banff & Really Wanted To Do Engagement Photos Here. We Finally Decided That If He Did Pop The Question To Get In Touch And We'd Make The Session Happen. If He Didn't, Then We Would Do Photo & Dan Would Be In The Doghouse For Quite Some Time. ⁠ ⁠ Luckily Dan Came Through & Proposed On Thursday! I Got An Excited E-mail From Taylor & We Put The Plan Into Action For Their Engagement Photos Last Night!⁠ ⁠ Our Plan Was To Go To Moraine Lake But The Road Was Closed (had Been Closed For An Hour & A Half At That Point & We Didn't Know How Much Longer) Due To A Climbing Accident On The Rockpile & Emergency Crews Needed Full Access. So I Suggested We Head To Peyto (it's Only Open For Another Week & A Half) And We Had The Best Time There, Pretty Much Having The Upper Viewpoint All To Ourselves.⁠ ⁠ When The Rain & Thunder Started To Roll In, We Left And Headed To Bow Lake Wheere It Go Super Chilly, But Was Just Beautiful. I Had Then Hopping Over The Dream To Get The Reflections I Adore (check Out Their Jump Shots... Super Impressive!)⁠ ⁠ Congratulations On Your Engagement Taylor & Dan, I'm So Glad Dan Didn't Screw Up The Trip 😉😂😁😘

I'm Headed Back To #morainelake Tomorrow For An Engagement Session & For An Elopement... So If You're Climbing Around On The Rockpile & See Me, Be Sure To Say Hello! I'll Be The Sweaty One With A Couple Cameras Strapped To Me, Making Terrible Jokes & Hoping Everyone Laughs!⁠ ⁠ Now Throwing It Back To A Little Over A Week Ago (it Seriously Feels Like This Was More Than 9 Days Ago!) To The Day That Mike Pulled Off An Epic Proposal To Genna At Moraine Lake!

Oh Peyto, I'm Going To Miss You. We've Had A Great Summer Together, But I Wish It Could've Lasted Just A Little Bit Longer...⁠ ⁠ Fyi - Peyto Lake Is Closing For The Season For Renovations Soon... So Visit While You Still Can!

Truly , Madly, Crazy, Deeply In Love With What I Chose To Be My Life Passion ⚡️capturing Life And Love Stories. Best First Start Of The Year 😍 Venue: @haikumill Florals: @dellablesfloraldesign Hair + Makeup Up: @mauimakeupartistry

This Spot Is A Dream For An Intimate Wedding Or Elopement Ceremony... A Room For A Few To Stand With No One Going Over The Edge!⁠ ⁠ Ok, Who Else Is Totally Freaking Out Over How Gorgeous The Light Is Hitting The Mountains In The Background? Dreamy!! And Those Clouds! Perfection!

The Moments That My Heart Skips A Beat 😍✨ #literally #queenvibes #everyday

It Was 18 Months In The Making, But Yesterday Isis & Nick Travelled To The Other Side Of The World To Get Married At Moraine Lake. They Got Ready At The Lodge & We Hiked It Up The Rock Pile To Get The Spot Overlooking The Lake. They Were Joined By About 40 Uninvited Guests Watching From Above & I Had To Yell At People To Give Them A Little Space To Have Their Ceremony Without A Bunch Random Weirdos Crowding Around & Being In The Background... Other Than That, It Was Perfect! ⁠ ⁠ And, Um, Anyone Else Totally In Love With Isis's Pink Dress??

Fall In Love With Someone Who Chooses You. Someone Who Fights For What You Have When Difficulty Hangs Heavy In The Air, Someone Who Insists That You Are Stronger Together, Capable Of Beating The Odds, Capable Of Turning Even The Messiest Parts Of Life Into Lessons Instead Of Reasons To Leave. Fall In Love With Someone Who Is Your Calm Place In A Chaotic World; Someone Who Builds Your Restless Heart A Safe Space Within Their Own. Fall In Love With Someone Who Takes The Time To Remember How You Like Your Coffee In The Morning, Someone Who Just Picks Up On Your Energy Because They Have Made The Effort To Dive Into The Depth Of It. Fall In Love With Someone Who Pays Attention, Someone Who Reaches For Your Hand When You’re Having A Nightmare, Someone Who Holds You A Little Tighter When The World Tries To Soften You. Fall In Love With Someone Who Cares Enough To See You @rainbowsalt

Call Me Crazy (i've Been Called Worse Than That!), But In The Afternoon Before Isis & Nick's Elopement At Moraine Lake On Tuesday, I Met Up With Hailee & Tom For Their Engagement Session!⁠ ⁠ Things Could Have Gone Terribly Wrong Since The Shuttle In Was Going To Take Two Hours To Get On & I Had No Service When I Was Out There To Know They Couldn't Get There, But Luck Was On Their Side When The Nice Parks People At The Gate Let Them In! Moraine Lake Is Gorgeous But It's A Hard Spot To Plan For Photos! You Just Never Know If You'll Be Able To Get In!⁠ ⁠ We'd Also Been Chatting About Photos For A While & It Turns Out Tom Popped The Big Question On Friday So Their Session Ended Up Being An Engagement! And How About The Fact That Tom Is Just Holding Hailee In This Carry/dip Like It Takes No Effort At All???

My First Time Shooting At Waterfowl Lakes & We Got The Magical Light As The Sun Was Setting Behind The Mountains. It Was The Perfect Way To End The Day With Nikia & Jonathan!⁠ ⁠ My Favourite Part Of Elopements Is That We Can Plan To Shoot With The Best Light Because You Aren't Worried About Making Your Guests Wait For Dinner (although Poor Jonathan Was Starving At This Point Haha). We Gte To Plan The Day Around Getting You The Best Pictures Possible While Having The Best Time Ever!

This Is A Fun Pose To Do. The Couple Is Always A Bit Taken Back When I Ask The The Guy To Lay On The Ground Facing Me. When I Ask The Girl, To Say On Top Of Him They Really Think I'm Making This Up On The Fly. Then The Girl On Top Needs To Slide Up His Back So Their Heads Are Parallel With Each Other. Next Make Sure The Guy Is Not Wearing Her Hair By Flipping Her Hair To The Opposite Side. It's A Really Fun Pose! I Shot This Engagement Photo On Worth Avenue In Palm Beach, Fl. If You Like This Shot Please Visit My Website And Blog. Leave A Blog Comment While You Are At It. If You Are Engaged And Looking For A Photographer Call Me, I Would Love To Chat. Jeff 561 737-5561
