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 […]

I shot the wedding formals and reception for the son of my friend Wendy, whose web site I also created and maintain.  The photos were taken overlooking downtown Calgary from the Crescent Road chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The couple is very photogenic and were great to work with.
