Multi-Family Photos at the Manitoba Legislative Building

What a way to celebrate their mom’s big birthday milestone yesterday with family flying in to Winnipeg to gather for a dinner that evening. But first, they coordinated everyone’s schedules in order to take some family photos at the Legislative Building, and what fun it was to meet everyone and to photograph them all! We started indoors and then ventured out to the fountain in the back of the building where we were surrounded by amazingly fragrant lilac trees. These guys were a ton of fun and I’m so glad we were able to capture this beautiful time in their family’s journey!

Sharon + Mark: a Winter Wedding in Winnipeg

I can’t imagine kicking off 2016 any better than by photographing Sharon + Mark’s wedding celebration yesterday! It was a balmy -2 degrees Celsius in Winnipeg, which made the decision to take outdoor photos with the whole wedding party a no-brainer. The girls looked gorgeous with their fur stoles over their blue dresses and the guys looked great with their beige cardigans and leather suspenders. We had some great indoor locations too: Broadway First Baptist church, the Manitoba Legislative Building, the Millennium Centre on Main Street and finally the Winnipeg Centre Vineyard church for the wedding ceremony. Every last detail was planned out perfectly, including a Café Postal coffee bar, a s’mores station and a romantically lit dinner & dessert buffet. Being their wedding photographer was a real pleasure! Here are some highlights:

Ashley + Tyson – Winnipeg Wedding Photography

Ashley & Tyson have been waiting for this day for a long time, and to say they were excited for it is an understatement. A tremendous amount of planning and thought have been put into this day and the results definitely show for it. Ashley and Tyson have a deep love for each other and their wedding day celebration had so many details that all pointed to that truth.

The photography came together with a handful of great locations – at home getting ready, a backyard first look, outside the beautiful church where they got married, inside the Hydro Building, outside the Manitoba Legislative Building, down some treed residential streets and even around the Assiniboine Park Pavilion. Ashley had a clear idea of what she wanted and I was so happy to pull it all together for her along with my second photographer.

This couple exudes love, generosity and kindness – they are some of the warmest people ever, and what a treat it was to see them getting married. One of my favourite shots is of them taking a selfie moments after they ran out of the church and hopped in a car to go take portraits alone with me. How adorable! After 2 years of planning this day with them, I’m happy to have seen it all come together and I’m excited to share these photos on my blog. Congratulations you two!

Ashley & Tyson’s Wedding (sneak peek!)

I first connected with Ashley and Tyson two years ago when they first got engaged and instantly I knew we were going to be the right fit! These two are so sweet and kind but also madly in love and a ton of fun to be with. After two years of prepping and anticipating for their wedding day, August 8th had arrived and what a picture-perfect event it was! I was thrilled to celebrate with them and to capture the story of their day with these photos. For now, here’s a sneak peek. More will come soon!
