Aly & Mario – Engagement Photography in Winnipeg’s Exchange District

Aly and Mario just got engaged last month so in the past few weeks we’ve been chatting about how to plan for their engagement photos. After discussing several different locations, we settled on an early morning coffee date at Cibo Waterfront Cafe and then some walking around Winnipeg’s Exchange District. The light was beautiful, the air was a bit cool, and these two lovebirds were all warmth & closeness! Although we’ve never met before, we had the francophone connection and conversation just flowed. These two were naturals in front of the camera and so easy to guide from one location to another. I’m so glad the sun was bright and that they trusted me with all the set ups we did. It was a blast!

 

Jen & Wayne: Engagement Photography in Winnipeg

Jen and Wayne just got engaged and already they’ve made lots of great plans for the months to come – a beautiful and intimate wedding celebration this winter, and then just a couple of weeks ago, a fun urban engagement session in the heart of Winnipeg’s Exchange District. Having already met them a year ago at Wayne’s brother’s wedding, it was fun to re-connect and give them their turn at being in front of the camera. It didn’t take long to break the ice with these two, and as much as they say that they’re not super comfortable in front of the camera (like me!), it was super easy to get them to open up and have fun together without thinking too much about the camera in their face. We explored the back streets of the Exchange and took lots of shots. They are such an easy-going and lovely couple – it was a pleasure spending the evening with them and it got me all the more excited to photograph their wedding! Can’t wait!

Welcome Jordan – Newborn Family Photos

Almost 7 years ago I had the honour of being Kristin and Jonathan’s wedding photographer, and fast-forward to today, they are a full and happy family with 3 adorable kiddos! I had fun taking their photos this morning and celebrating their newest addition: 10-day-old Jordan. His older brother and sister had so many cuddles and kisses to shower him with and the sibling shots we got are just so priceless. Here is a preview from our newborn family portrait session:

Jessica + Mike: Wedding Photography at St. Charles Country Club

Jessica and Mike got married on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in July and every location they chose added so much to the beauty and meaning of their day. It was a true honour to create these images for them all the while documenting the story of their day unfolding before us. The joy and connection they share is so sweet to watch and seeing them so happy was definitely the highlight of the day, not only for me but I’m sure for all their guests too! They kept their day simple, elegant and truly meaningful. Starting with getting ready photos at the historic Fort Garry Hotel, followed by a lovely ceremony at the gorgeous Westminster Church, then on to the Exchange District and City Hall for some wedding portraits, and ending off the wedding celebrations with a super fun reception at St. Charles Country Club. From start to finish, this wedding day was a perfect reflection of these two! Here are some highlights… but make sure you scroll down to the end to see an adorable photo of Jessica dancing with her grandfather!
