Calgary Wedding Photographer: Fun in Bowness Park :D

I love Calgary. Whoever says it's boring doesn't know what they're talking about, really - there's so many places to go and see, so much fun stuff to do! This past weekend Tim, my mom and I made a little trip to Bowness Park in Calgary - the weather was beautiful and it was so nice and warm! Here're some pics from our adventure...:))

Tim loves swings. A LOT. :)

Crazy boy! :)))

My mom is watching Tim swing in full force..:)

Love this pic of my little guy! Why do kids grow so fast??

We even had some fun on ice though we didn't have ice skates - got lots of giggles still! :))

Calgary Wedding Photographer: Walking around Puerto Vallarta with Kaytlin

So a day before Kaytlin and Brendon's wedding I took my bride out for a walk - first of all to see where we can take couple's photos the next day after the ceremony and also to look around for myself as I've never been here before...:)

Off we went! :) First stop was across the street from the hotel (well actually the little green area right on the road in front of the hotel)...













As we were taking this photo I could feel stingning on my feet and thought I had stepped on some weird plant...well....when I looked down I saw a whole bunch of fire ants on my feet! A-a-a-a-a!!! I guess I was standing on an ant hills without knowing - note to self to look down before shooting...haha:))


Mango fruit??


Some gorgeous looking trees...


Are those roots of the tree??


As we were walking back to the hotel we saw that the gates that we had passed before were open and took our chance to get in and take some photos in the yard. Soooo glad we did it!! There were some cool looking walls and windows for us to take photos.


Kaytlin looking amazing!! So relaxed one day before the wedding..:)














Thanks for being such a wonderful model, Kaytlin! It was fun to walk around with you and I loved our little adventures! heehee

Calgary Wedding Photographer: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

I got to Puerto Vallarta for my destination wedding when it was already dark so I could barely see what was around me, but I knew one thing right from the getgo - once I stepped into the hot and humid air outside of the airport I realized I loved this place. Fo real. I felt like I was bathing in the air and it felt so good...I did a bit of a research before I came so when one of the taxi drivers offered a ride to the hotel I knew I wasn't overpaying. Plus I got a little bit of a tour on the way to me destination...heehee.:)

Me: How far is the hotel?
Taxi Driver: 10 mexican minutes away, senorita! /how cute is that?! 10 mexican minutes! :))/

My amazing bride Kaytlin met me at the lobby and we had a late supper with her and her friend - good times, good food...:)

This was the view from my room when I woke up in the morning...GORGEOUS!!


I actually ventured to the local Walmart as there was a flee market nearby, I wanted to check out local goods. And yes, I walked to Walmart aka risked being run over by crazy drivers (which reminded me of Russia a little, nostalgia!)...:) It was lots of fun to walk though as I did see more than if I was going on the bus or in a cab, for sure.





















I did take the bus on the way back for the sake of the experience..:)



So I met someone special on the beach...:)



The ocean view from my room...awww:



Yeah yeah I'm lame, I take pictures of myself in the mirror plus this is how I look without make up :)):



This trip was so good, I met so many nice people, all I can say is wow!!
