Calgary Wedding and Lifestyle Family Photographer
Emily and Chadd wanted fall engagement photos, and the timing could not have been better. As a photographer, you dream of unique light and epic sunsets, but you don't always get them. This was by far the most colourful sky that I have ever experienced during a photo session.
"We love the mountains! If we could spend every weekend out there, we definitely would. I think the thing we love the most is how small you feel when you're standing at the base of a mountain, looking up at the rock you're going to go stand on top of. The feeling of peaking a mountain is one of the best feelings in the world"...
Jenn mentioned that she really enjoyed the experience and used the word "relaxing" while describing it. Relaxing isn't a word I would have thought of using while describing a newborn session, but I also have kids, and I truly believe in the value of having someone come to you and take photos in the comfort of your home...
It was so nice to connect with Jenna and Zac - really early in the spring after not hanging out with too many humans for a long while! Our styles for photos was completely in line and I couldn't wait for their wedding at Easter Seals Camp Horizon...
"After having to change plans due to the pandemic and all the uncertainty, when we walked down the path and finally saw the perfect place for our ceremony, we felt peace and excitement. It had all the things that we were looking for: calm water, forest, a mountain view, and cell service so we could stream the wedding to Anand's family in Brazil"...
We met up at Alforno and I told them to just walk in and order up, just like they did on their first date. There was just one big difference; they now know each other really well and the connection that they've had from day one has now grown into love and partnership...
There was something really unique and amazing about this sandy beach. And the hills overlooking everything. And the orange ball of fire in the sky. And the lemon shirt. And the flowy dresses. I'm gonna stop now, but safe to say that I loved everything about this session...
We left Calgary in the smoke, drove through the rain and got to Kananaskis Country to find the most beautiful fog that turned everything - sky, mountains, water and trees - a stunning tone of teal. This truly was a perfect morning...
