Manitoba Club Wedding Photography

I first met this lovely couple last year when I photographed another wedding they were a part of, and after spending time with them, I just knew they were going to be a ton of fun! After much planning and anticipation, their big day finally came and it was nothing short of amazing. We started the day with getting ready photos followed by a beautiful ceremony at St. Bernadette Parish. Their wedding party was made up of family members and it was clear to see they have a hugely supportive, caring and loving family. The family photos naturally flowed into the wedding party photos and we had a wonderful time walking around the Legislative Building grounds. After a champagne toast, we headed to Hut K to take a few more wedding couple portraits followed by our final stop at the stunning Manitoba Club on Broadway where their reception was held. After a few quick photos around the Club, we headed upstairs where the guests were starting to arrive. The whole evening was elegant, classy and beautiful mixed in with lots of laughs and good partying. It was an honour to photograph it all and especially wonderful to witness the deep admiration, appreciation and devotion that these two have for each other. Here’s a not-so-small handful of images from their beautiful wedding day!

River: Newborn Photography

Back in June, I had the pleasure of meeting Lori Mae and Matt, soon-to-be parents who were an absolute delight to photograph for their maternity session. A few short weeks later, I was back at their house to finally meet their little one – cute little River! This little guy is a treasure and his parents are oozing with love for him. He is the most perfect addition to their family and it was such a treat being able to take photos of their precious early moments together. Congratulations guys – he’s absolutely adorable!

Avalyn: Newborn Photography

It’s always extra special when the newborn photos I take are for a former wedding couple of mine… as was the case with beautiful little Avalyn. Almost three years ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Kristin and Jonathan’s 2-day wedding event and when I heard they welcomed a little girl into the world, I was more than thrilled to do photos for them again! I came over to their house on a sunny July morning and was greeted by the cutest little girl ever: Avalyn. It was so cool seeing Kristin and Jonathan so smitten by their new little daughter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better model. What a sweetheart! Congratulations you two – she’s absolutely adorable!

Wedding Invitations: Chelsea & Justin

Chelsea and Justin just tied the knot over a week ago at the beautiful Fort Gibraltar here in Winnipeg and leading up to the wedding I custom designed these wedding invitations with them. Rich colour, gorgeous texture using a fun 5″ squared trifold card on bamboo paper – I love it! It’s always fun being able to use engagement photos to add a little more personality to a couple’s wedding stationery. Here are some snapshots of their wedding invitations. Soon enough their wedding photos will also be online and on display – can’t wait to share those ones too!

LeDressay Family

Earlier this summer, Josie contacted me to book a photo session for her and her family. She was referred to me through Melanie & Jesse, and it wasn’t until their wedding that I actually had the pleasure of meeting Josie face to face. The very next day I drove out to her parents’ place in Lorette for the family photo shoot and got to meet the rest of her family. These guys are super laid back, hilarious, and a ton of fun to hang out with! They’re also great sports when it comes to weather… the sky looked iffy just before the shoot, but based on a radar weather map, we decided to wing the session anyway. As it turned out, the radar map was wrong, and 5 minutes into the session it started raining on us! We decided to keep going with it, and we found creative ways of keeping everybody fairly dry throughout the outdoor session. I was well protected under my coat and plastic bag (for my camera!), and we were able to get some great shots of everyone after all.

Thanks you guys for the great session! It was a blast! 🙂
