Hello Friend!

Thanks for stopping by! What is a blog? To me a blog is where I get to share my most recent work, my studio news and in some cases my personal rants and raves. I love to hear what you think so if somethng here makes you smile, makes you cry or just downright makes you wonder...send me a PS. I mean what letter is complete without a PS?

Louise & Tobias met in July 2006, at the zoo. Their first contact was  online which kept them chatting for a couple of months. Tobias couldn’t wait any longer and  decided to travel to Calgary for the stampede! He was very excited to meet Louise in person and what better place than the Calgary Zoo! It was love at first sight!  They walked around the zoo then wined and dined at a downtown restaurant. Their  first date was 9 hours long and both of them did not want it to end. They dated long distance (he was from Winnipeg) for ten months until finally Tobias  moved to Calgary.  The rest is history!   Congratulations Louise & Tobias. I look forward to photographing your special day!

Erin & Jason knew pretty early on in their relationship that they would be together. It cumulated into a perfect wedding in June. The bottom line was that they wanted everyone to have fun, enjoy the  weather, food and spend this special day with the people that matter the most. I am happy to say that I know they got to put a giant check  mark after each one of those items.

From when Jason first saw Erin as she floated down the circular staircase in the hotel atrium to the final shots at the golf course…..the day  was a gorgeous expression of love for each other and for their family and friends. It was a bright and cheerful day and even a little rain couldn’t dampen anyone’s spirit!

Erin & Jason…with my everything, thank you. You both have the biggest hearts and your thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. I’m honored to have documented your wedding day and I appreciate your over-arching accommodation to anything and everything I could have ever dreamt of asking. Have a blast in Europe and don’t forget to take lots of pictures! Much love…S.

Erin & Leo met two weeks before Leo’s graduation. He was getting ready to leave high school and Erin was just finishing grade 11. They had a mutual friends and Erin had heard many wonderful stories about Leo. The night they met she saw him from a distance at CB’s drive in, sitting in a friend’s car in the parking lot. She could tell he was shy but more importantly she could tell he was also very GOOD LOOKING! She was drawn to him instantly and since she was the more outgoing one she decided to take control and knock his socks off!  Especially since he was leaving for  St.Francis High School in just a few weeks. She had to make her move!

Erin quickly  jumped in the car and quickly started up a conversation. There was definite chemistry! From then on they inseparable and the conversation has never stopped, even after 9 years of being together. Erin will admit most of the time she is the one talking and he is listening (she thinks).

Erin and Leo are very excited to get married this year.  They both look forward to having a family and growing old together. Until then they have their lovable and spirited puppy Lola.

Nothing could stop this AMAZING couple from enjoying their wedding day at the Sacred Heart Church. The grey clouds ominously hung over their wedding, but that did not stop their love from pouring out. Nor did it stop the rain. Rachel & James, however, were joyful, loving, and content the entire day, serving as the truest testament of optimism. Whatever came their way—pouring rain and running to the car during the formals, they were all smiles and truly in love. This is indicative of something deeper in Rachel & James relationship: They can weather storms together and remain truly ecstatic on the greyest of days.

Something tells me they’re going to be able to stand the test of time.

Rachel & James, thank you for reminding me what true love looks like. Thank you for allowing Judith and I to be a part of your special day and we can’t wait to hear of all the amazing things the future holds for you! Much Love and Appreciation…
