Wedding Inspiration

Whew! It's Been Quiet Here For A Few Days! I Was In Calgary For The Weekend For Tina & Melvin's Wedding! I Got Home Sunday & I Think The Busy Season Finally Caught Up With Me. Call It A Wedding Hangover Or The Wedding Flu, But Something Kicked My Butt!⁠ ⁠ I'm Now Just Getting Some Sneak Peeks Together & I Am So Stoked About The Champagne Spray! I've Been Having Fun With This Lately & This One Is Absolutely Epic! I Told Melvin To Shake It & Point It At Me. I Expected To Be Soaked... But The Look On His Face In The Last Frame Of The Spray Says He Didn't Think It Would Go That Crazy Hahaha⁠ ⁠ But Seriously Though, Wasn't It Awesome??

It's Hard To Believe That This Was A Week Ago! The Time Is Just Flying By. Soon The Wildflowers Will Be Gone & The Snow Will Be Falling (and Sticking!). Take Some Time To Enjoy The Bit Of Summer That We Have Left! I'm Going To Try To Take A Few Days For Myself In September... Fingers Crossed I Can Actually Make It Happen! If You Had 3 Days Off To Do Whatever You Wanted, What Would You Do? I Need Some Ideas!

Another Absolute Favorite Of This Year By The Amazing @penziweddings

Even If You've Had Your Ceremony Earlier, Save Your Vows, Or Write New Ones To Each Other, Just To Share Somewhere Private! The Tears, The Smiles.. All The Good Stuff Happens When You Say Beautiful Things To Each Other In Such A Special Place, Just For The Two Of You!

Timeless Vows.

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.

Doesn't It Feel Good To Be Loved? We Had A Blast With Abigail & Christian At The Luxurious Birmingham, Alabama Based Vestavia Country Club.

Wedding Cake!

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? ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
