Here’s proof why it’s never too late to order your wedding album! Back in the summer of 2011 I photographed Kyla & Darrin’s wedding in Winnipeg’s beautiful All Saints’ Church at the corner of Osborne and Broadway. It was such a perfect ceremony location: romantic & lovely, just like this couple! Their wedding day was elegant, classic and a ton of fun. These two certainly had a strong love bonding them, and together with their friends and family, their day of celebration was a very memorable one. It’s hard to believe this was already 5 years ago!
Their wedding package included a wedding album, but with their busy schedules, it took some time to finalize the album design. Over the years we’ve kept in touch and the album has gotten a couple tweaks, but finally in this past month, the final album layout got their stamp of approval.
A few days ago I had the pleasure of handing over their (very heavy!) 12″x12″ wedding album. It has 40 hard flush-mount pages, a stunning white leather cover and of course, their wedding photos exquisitely printed onto semi-gloss photographic paper. As a photographer, I get so excited to see my photos printed in large scale on such beautiful paper, so I can only imagine how wonderful it must be for them to have this in their home to look at for years to come. This truly is an heirloom album, and I’m thrilled to have these albums in my wedding packages. They are one of a kind! Here are a few snapshots of what their wedding album looks like:

May 6, 2016 | Engagement
Back in March we had a beautiful streak of warm weather so I was glad that Jessy & Peter’s engagement session happen to be scheduled right in the middle of it. We had made plans to start the session indoors at the Fort Garry Hotel and to finish outdoors with Winnipeg’s iconic cityscape in the background. It was the middle of the afternoon, quite balmy with a full bright sun. With the Human Rights Museum in the background, and the last of the ice melt on the Red River, we captured some great photos that were truly “Winnipeg”. Since these two are getting married outside the city, they wanted to incorporate some more urban/Winnipeg locations in their engagement photos.
Jessy & Peter are absolutely lovely to work with and so adorable together! I’m honoured to be their wedding photographer and cannot wait to see what’s in store for their big day. Congratulations you two! See you again in a few months!

Planning an outdoor wedding in Winnipeg in the summer comes with a bit of a gamble – not knowing if it’ll rain or not definitely was on Stephanie & Mitch’s mind, and certainly on mine too. The Leo Mol Garden at Assiniboine Park was booked for their wedding ceremony and thankfully we had a beautiful rain-free day! We started the day with some getting ready photos at the Fort Garry Hotel and the Viscount Gort, and after the ceremony we had a bit more time to use the Leo Mol Garden and English Gardens for family photos and a few wedding party portraits. Stephanie and Mitch reserved a table at Cibo on Waterfront for them and their wedding party and it was such a great way to get fun & relaxed candid photos of their group in the afternoon. We also snuck out for a few more couple portraits along the Red River and I have to say, Stephanie is one adventurous bride! She was always game for hiking through riverside trails no matter how damp or muddy it was – she was fearless! These two are super easy-going, full of love and life and completely dedicated to each other. It was a beautiful thing to see and an even greater honour to be there to photograph their special day. Congratulations you two!

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!

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!
