Lisa & Jeff are absolutely fascinating and beautiful people. Their wedding was unique in every sense of the word. The day was characterized by the colour purple. Purple cupcakes, purple M&M’s, purple lip stick cases, purple purses, purple ties, purple underwear worn by the girls and purple socks worn by the guys. I could go on and on! I loved it! It was a creative infusion inspired by purple and attention to the smallest detail. When I arrived at Lisa’s house, the girls were even wearing purple tops given to them by Lisa’s Mom whom I might add is also an amazing host! All I can say is that she is truly the Martha Stewart of Calgary, Alberta!

The day was beautiful. The moment Jeff saw Lisa it was as if all of his heart ended up on his face… and all I saw was love. It was magical. Seeing that kind of raw, uninhibited love in moments like this are why we do this. We know that deep, romantic, soul-mate kind of love is so very real and when I see these moments I am so blessed to be reminded of that truth. The day was full of laughter and smiles. When we got together to photograph Lisa & Jeff’s engagement it was clear that Jeff was a little shy in front of the camera. Well it certainly wasn’t apparent for his wedding day. That’s how beautiful the energy was. So much so that Jeff simply forgot there was even a camera there!

We feel so honoured to have shared in this day with these two amazing people. Thank you Lisa & Jeff.  Lots of love and respect -

Jessica & Tony are like peas in a pod! For the formals we walked around Inglewood – LOVE this area so much, it’s a photographer’s playground. Add to that two super fun, giggly newlyweds, and what do you get…..endless amazing photographs!

Jessica & Tony are pretty much a walking party. Never lacking a smile, a laugh, or a great sense of humour…all this came across on their wedding day, and is so evident in their wedding party too. I love when we have a couple that are up for anything! This allows us to come up with unique ideas that create edgy photographs.

Now on the surface we have a fun couple but in getting to know them better I very quickly learned they are also very dedicated, determined, sweet couple. Not only were they planning a wedding they also were building a house, work at very demanding jobs (which involves traveling ) and still fit volunteering. Wow!

Thanks to both of you – it’s obvious your happily ever after will be full of laughs and overflowing with love. Congrats! – Shawna & Kendra

Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy… that’s the only way I know how to start this post. Every now and then I meet a couple that inspires me so much with their style & their love. Dina & Ken are those type of people. A few months ago I photographed  their fun, adorable e-session. Dina showed up with a Calgary Flames  Jersey and Kevin brought his Vancouver Canuck Jersey. The rivalry was on!  After watching them tease and have fun with each other I was definitely looking forward to their wedding!

It was a perfect July day, even though it was hot, with not much of a breeze, we found enough cover at a school downtown which made for some amazing photographs. I started the day with Dina and her girls getting ready at Dina’s home. As soon as I walked in the door you could see that these girls were really close and the energy was amazing! I truly enjoyed being around them!

The wedding took place at St. Josephs Cathedral and I have to say it is now one of my favorite churches. There are windows everywhere and  it’s so beautiful inside. Without a doubt you could see that Dina and Kevin truly enjoyed their day and I have to say they are one of the most easy going genuine couples I have ever met! True gems!

Thanks again Dina & Kevin.  You are just too sweet, considerate, and adorable to be real! I know you will be forever happy and enjoy your lives together.  Lots of love – Shawna & Judith
