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

What an awesome couple, and what an amazing wedding! Tannis & Robin are wonderfully sweet, easy going, down-to-earth, good-hearted people (I could come up with hundreds of more adjectives…but you get the picture). Once you meet them – you immediately go from just an acquaintance, to OMG you guys are so awesome! Not only that seeing them together makes you smile because you know they were meant for each other.

The wedding and ceremony took place at the beautiful Ranche House with a view that will take your breath away! The plan was to have the ceremony outside but this time the sun goddess decided to have a nap so it took place inside. Now if you have ever been to the Ranche House you will know that this really was not a big deal as the building is stunning!

It was well over a year ago when I was contacted and booked by Robin. I did not meet Tannis until the engagement shoot as she was out of town. I remember   Robin telling me she loved our work and had to book us! I thought to myself how wonderful it was that the groom was just as much involved with the planning process as the bride! When you see them together you can see they are definitely a team!

I can’t thank you both enough for the opportunity to have been part of your beautiful wedding. We both agree it was truly fantastic! – Shawna & Judith

Really happy! Really, really in love! And really, truly in the moment! Throughout their wedding day, Louise & Tobias were all taking in every second of their once-in-a-lifetime experience. They didn’t worry about the schedule being a bit behind, the little ones crying during the family formals, or little this and thats; instead, they simply went with the flow and found joy in every moment, in all their guests, and in each other. Judith and I had such an amazing time with them throughout the day and night so forgive me in advance for the major overuse of exclamation points in this blog post.

When I arrived where the girls were getting ready the first thing Louise said to me is “I had another bride meltdown. It was little and I feel much better now”! She was adorable! In my experience bride meltdowns are much needed and let’s face it ladies we are entitled! With the busyness of putting a wedding together and all the emotion that goes along with it why not have a little cry here and there! Louise looked absolutely stunning! Her dress was something out of a fairy tale. As you all know I LOVE SHOES so I couldn’t help myself but put more than one picture of her gorgeous blue shoes! The day was magical! There was so much emotion throughout the ceremony and I loved the energy that surrounded us! Louise & Tobias had friends & family fly in from all over the world. Scotland, England and South Africa just to mention a few! As you can imagine there were plenty tears and the laughter that filled the room including my own!

Louise your energy is infectious! Toby your sense of humour while shooting the formals kept us on our toes! You are one funny man! The two of you are sweet, loving souls. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Judith and I left the Palliser with warm fuzzies in our tummy, feeling very fortunate that we were able to share your big day with you. Love & admiration – Shawna & Judith

Love love love this wedding (and couple) so much! What an amazing day! I just love photographing beautiful weddings at the Calgary Zoo!  The surroundings feel magical with the animals humming in the background.  Inesia & Colin planned a gorgeous outdoor wedding ceremony and of course we all prayed to the sun goddess!  As you can imagine we were a little worried as the days leading to their wedding as it was alternating between sun & rain for the whole week prior! Thank you SUN GODDESS!

I arrived at Inesia’s on Saturday  all revved up for a beautiful wedding. Inesia  is one of the most calmest brides I have come across so far not to mention beautiful. She has a angelic, classic look about her. Her dress was exquisite (loved it)! She is stunning ! The look on Colin’s face when she walked down the aisle was the look of emotional bliss.

This wedding pretty much left us speechless. Everyone was amazing and fun to be around. The speeches were fantastic and hilarious. Let’s just say Colin has his fair share of funny stories that were told about him!  The decorations were thoughtful and simple, and the wedding party and their family were so laid back and easy going it didn’t feel like we were working at all.

Thank you guys for this opportunity – it was a fantastic day and sooooo stress-free (which is always refreshing!) Inesia and Colin you are just wonderful people! Judith and I are so happy for you. Cheers and congratulations in your happily ever afters!

Lots of love – Shawna & Judith

The story of Jeff and Lisa began five and a half years ago…

Jeff and Lisa met through a mutual friend, Dave McGillivray. Lisa went to high school with Dave, and after high school Dave and Jeff became friends at Acadia University. After completing University, Jeff moved to Calgary. Being new to town, one summer night Dave invited Jeff to meet up with some of his Calgary friends. This is where he first met Lisa.

It was after a few months and many hours of courting that Lisa agreed to go on a date with Jeff. She brought her best friend with her and requested that he bring along a friend as well. Jeff arrived late to Joey Tomatoes as he was frantically looking for someone to come with him on short notice.  Luckily he has a number of accountant friends and it didn’t take long to find someone eager for a free meal.  The date went longer  and better than Lisa had expected, so much so that she received a parking ticket.

Jeff and Lisa had finally met again.  They continued to meet, eventually needing to buy only two meals and no longer pay parking fines.  Their relationship developed into the love and friendship they now share.

Lisa & Jeff I am looking forward to your big day! We will make sure that when we are shooting the formals we will throw a bit of extra change in the parking machine! Shawna

Kendra & Mark are not  your typical couple. Sure, they’re in love with each other and like doing all the lubby-dubby-things, but they also love to laugh with each other. And at each other. We all spent many moments laughing at one another and that’s the kind of fun we love to have at our wedding shoots.

The day started photographing Kendra in her beautiful home in the South of Calgary. There were very few photographs taken of Kendra where she wasn’t laughing and simply embracing her day. As you know I love shoes! Well Kendra surprised me with wearing a pair of ballet slippers. When she was a little girl she used to dance and it still holds a very special place in her heart today. As you can see I just loved photographing them! It made her dress and the day seem even more magical!
