Calgary Wedding Photographer: Gina and Robert {Wedding Sneak Peak}

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to spend the day with Gina and Robert celebrating their wedding day and documenting it. Ekaterina was my wonderful second shooter! Thank you sooo much, my friend! :) It's always a pleasure to shoot with you!

I am feeling a bit under the weather today so I had time to work on a few photos..:)) So right now I'm posting just a little sneak peak - 10 out of many many photos we took that day! Gina and Robert, thank you so much for being so wonderful and I'm also thankful for your amazing family and friends! We could not have wished for better weather (we had sun instead of showers - never trust weather forecast! haha) and we had a blast taking photos! Can't wait to go through them all...and here's a few that caught my eye...:)

Gina's gorgeous dress in her parent's front yard:


Beautiful ceremony in Crestmont Residents Hall:


First kiss as a married couple:


I loved Gina's wedding bouquet!




Such a sweet loving moment...






Do you also see the "heart" shape of their heads and arms?....:)


Loved this moment during the first dance!



Congrats once again, guys!! More photos to come! :)

Calgary Portrait and Lifestyle Photographer: Harley+Dukati

When I got an email from Jim about the photo session he had in mind which involved two AWESOME bikes I was thrilled (to say the least)! I went searching for a perfect location for the session and came up with a deserted (or so I thought) area by the airport - it turned out it was a high security construction zone and we got booted out in half an hour into the shoot. I have never been asked to leave the location where I was shooting and it felt great! Like the forbidden fruit, it made the photos even more special. :))) Jim totally rocked this session, his passion for the Harley and Dukati is unbelievable, he really takes pride in this ownership and can see why. These machines are amazing!! Extra special koodos go out to Mike Kehn for being a fantastic assistant, not only helping me with lighting but also helping Jim to unload/and then load the bikes! Thanks Mike!!

Calgary Wedding Photographer: Kasia and Doug {Wedding}

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Princess Obolensky Park here in Calgary. I was super excited for Kasia and Doug's wedding because everything about it was not typical of a wedding - Doug helped Kasia with her dress, they came to the location together in a beautiful antique car, they only had less than 25 people to celebrate their day (love intimate weddings!!), the wedding was very laid back and we had champaigne during our portrait session! :) The reception was hels at Murrieta's downtown Calgary, lovely setting, great food, live music...beautiful!!All in all I really enjoyed the day with such amazing people and wish Kasia and Doug many many years together!!















Marcel was explaining the meaning of wedding rings:






Classic of Doug!! haha














One of my faves from that day!


















Kasia, you're stunning!












Doug is a war veteran, fought almost everywhere!




Annnnd......that's typical Doug!:))


















We had lots of fun getting photos done..heehee:)) obviously!
