The exciting day finally arrived for Steven and Amanda. The wedding was simple and elegant, with a beautiful bride and bridesmaids. We took the wedding party to Prince’s Island Park in downtown Calgary. We’ve had heavy smoke in Calgary from forest fires in B.C.. I was concerned about the effect of the smoke on the […]
Tim and Crick have the cutest kids. You might not be able to tell from the photo on the right, but there are only two of them. As usual, they were a bit shy, but they didn’t take long to open up and relax around the camera. They have a great back yard with a […]
Mark and Jenn were married in Waterton. It’s a beautiful town with a lot to choose from for photo backdrops. Waterton has a dark side though; it’s very windy. Overlooking the lake is the Prince of Wales Hotel. It sits majestically at the top of a hill where, if you go outside, you’ll have to […]
I really had fun with Wally and Gill. The small ceremony was in their friend’s back yard. It was beautifully landscaped with several trees and flowers. They also had reflecting globes that added a neat touch. The weather also cooperated enough to hold back the rain while the overcast sky made the greenery really come […]
I thought I could tell it was spring. This year has been unusually wet, so when we planned this photo session, we were hoping for the best and trying to deal with the worst. I was hoping not to have to deal with snow though. Brent and Carol braved it well. Since it was snowing, […]
Photographing Bella was an amazing amount of fun. She’s a very dynamic child with a lot of personality. We made it easy for her by letting her play in the grass and explore. The experience of freedom for her made it easy for her to ignore the camera and just be herself. When she started […]
From Calgary Temple Groundbreaking I was asked to volunteer as one of the official photographers for the groundbreaking of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint`s Calgary Temple. The LDS Church News and Calgary Herald articles explain what went on. My purpose was to take photographs, but I also had opportunity to marvel […]
From Steven and Amanda Steven and Amanda are a quiet couple with big plans! For their engagement, we wandered into Prince’s Island Park in downtown Calgary. The recent moisture has made a huge difference in the greenery, but the trees have yet to really show. Prince’s Island has a number of views that make it […]
From Mark and Jenn Having a summer wedding means spring engagement photos. This Easter weekend was definitely sunny enough, but the cold breeze made it a bit uncomfortable. Mark and Jennifer are a great couple, and were very patient dealing with flying hair and goosebumps. Tom Campbell hill in Calgary overlooks the downtown core. Early […]
A great activity for youth is a photo safari. With our Scouts, we hiked from Tom Campbell hill, just North of the Calgary Zoo, to downtown Calgary and back. Along the way, we discussed what things to think about while taking a photograph and helped them learn more about their cameras. Being late November, it […]
