Katherine and Shaun shared their special day with just a few friends and family but their was enough love and laughter to fill a gymnasium. After a short service in the park, we hit the tracks in the warehouse district and ended up eating, drinking and dancing the night away at Peter Martin's 20 King Street.

Kyle & Amy, June 23, 2007

Despite the "call 911" written on the bottom of the groom's shoes (visible during the wedding blessing in the middle of the church service), I think this bride's smile says it all.

Congratulations Amy and Kyle!

Jack & Angie, June 16, 2007

I feel like I got to know Angie and Jack so much better than many of my couples. Because they booked so early, took such care with their plans (and their maid of honour is my right-hand woman Sarah), it felt like we were old friends by their wedding day. Through graduating from teachers college the day before (Angie) to being concerned about army buddies in Afghanistan (Jack), to the little things like lost tiaras on the morning of the wedding, Jack and Angie stuck together like glue and pulled off an exquisite day.

Darryl & Annette June 9, 2007

Special wishes to this elegant, laid-back couple. (too bad about the quirky bridesmaid who kept making faces and bunny ears in the photos!!! hee hee...what a fun group.)

Michael & Dustin

There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Michael and Dustin's day was executed beautifully...from the flowers, to the sassy bridesmaids, to the elegance of the setting (Royal Botanical Gardens) but it was really the love between and surrounding the couple that cemented the enchantment of the entire day.

What fun, what joy! Thank you for including us.

Chadd & Jessica

Nothing more beautiful than a hunting loving, fishing-loving bushman checking his metropolitan bride for ticks! Just kidding, this was a class act all the way (despite all the references to life in the great outdoors). Have fun in the North Country Jessica and Chadd!

Jessica loved this location becuase she said it reminded her of Portugal!

Super-dad

Yup, that's my dad...finishing his second half-marathon. When people ask me where I get my energy, it's pretty easy to answer...of course it's from my mom, the woman who puts up with this crazy, running-obsessed old man (hahaha).

Who'd have thought that a 50 year old, pack-a-day-smoking, 70 lbs overweight man would be be running half marathons and thinking about full marathons and triathlons 4 years later?

Way to go Dad!

Alicia & Jeremy

What fun! Alicia was gorgeous and relaxed, Jeremy and the groomsmen provided the colour and their vows to their three boys were so touching. We got so many great shots, I can't wait to get through them all!

Happy one week anniversary.....almost

Nothing (including a glued together eyelid) could wipe the smile off of Caitlin's face last Saturday. Special thanks to Nick's groomsmen for going along with the nicknames I tossed at them until I learned their real names!

Paging Dr. Costescu

( Dr. Dustin and Michael)

I'd like to congratulate one of my favourite grooms on graduating from medical school. Dustin officially becomes DR. Costescu (please rise when he enters the room) tomorrow. On our official meeting, Dustin, his fiance Michael and I spent twice as much time chatting as I usually do with initial meetings (poor guys, I think I blabbed their ears off).

Anyway, though I had nothing to do with his success, I am very proud and wish you a beautiful celebration tomorrow....we'll continue celebrating at the wedding!

Kyle & Kelly Engagement

The countdown is on....Kelly and Kyle will be married in just a few weeks. The celebration will be taking place at the fabulous Verses Restaurant. Can't wait!

Oh Baby...Joshua!

This family is so natural together, I'm not sure they even realized I was there....

Edgey Red Deer

I just spent the past week in my hometown of Red Deer, Alberta. I try to make it home during the spring between winter and summer weddings so I have a chance to recharge. In an effort to really focus on relaxing, I didn't even take an SLR home with me...just my point and shoot camera.

Okay, so I'm home for about 4 hours when my fingers get itchy and I start rifling through my parents hall closet to find my dad's old manual Yashika. The only film he had in the house was a couple of rolls of 800 ISO he had left over from a trip to Honduras in January (he uses 800 for underwater stuff when he's scuba diving).

So the 800 gives me some edgy grainy shots that are a little weird but kinda fun because when I think of Red Deer, I think of a warm, cozy place, not this edgy, harsh world that you see on this film. (p.s., thanks to my sister, Erin, for driving be around that freezing night I decided to shoot!)

Who said family photoshoots have to be boring????

Well, the grandkids of the Bieronski Family don't say that anymore!!

The matriarch of this amazing family is my beloved friend Annette and I was thrilled that she managed to get all nine of her kids/grandkids in town for a an hour this past weekend so I could put them through the paces. WHAT FUN!

Jason & Jennifer

I'm so excited to be working with this amazing family again. I'm sure that we'll have as much fun at Jennifer and Jason's wedding this year as we did at little sister Elizabeth and Chris' wedding last year!

BTW, cudos goes to Jason for being the easiest photographer I've had to shoot to date (often we're a tough bunch to photograph!) He's a photographer up in Lindsey and has quite an amazing portfolio himself!

Kyle & Amy

Take one police officer bride, add an accommodating groom and 5 costume changes, including running, soccer and rugby gear, throw in a dash of ultra cold weather and you have one crazy fun engagement shoot......Amy assures me she only has one wedding dress for the big day!

Jenn-Jenn

I was just packaging up a CD to send out to my beautiful friend/assistant Jenn who abandoned me to move to the West Coast (hehe) when I remembered these two favourites that I took of her in Red Rock Canyon.

Any of you who ever had me shoot your wedding with Jenn know that she's just as good looking on the inside as she is on the outside!

Miss you Lady!
