It feels like every time you go downtown, another mural has graced the side of building, adding such personality to the neighbourhood. For Misha and Caleb's session, we headed to 104 St, one of our favourite spots in the city and just walked around the block taking advantage of the varying architecture in such a small radius.
We spent some time with the dogs then dropped them off to explore the rest of the block. Pretty happy with how these shots turned out. Enjoy!
My sister is getting married!
Having worked so many weddings in the last few years, you forget all that gets put into pulling off these events. Our family has been consumed with wedding talk for the better part of 2017, and the big day is almost here. Even though I am part of the family, by nature I had a hard time letting anyone else photograph the big day. Brad and I will be there with bells on to document the fun.
As with any couple about to be married, we ALWAYS recommend an engagement session. When we were talking about this with Liz and Greg, my mom kept chiming in, "I don't get it. Why do you do engagement photos? We never did those."
Well mom, beyond the added bonus of getting some photos the couple could use for invitations, or to post on social media, how many couples have ever had professional photos taken of themselves BEFORE their wedding? Would you really want the first time to be on the day where you are coordinating family, time pressures, caterers, flowers, music, decorations, etc...?
An engagement session is really about being comfortable having your picture taken without the pressure of the big day. We get a quick sense of what the couple likes and what they are not into. Additionally, it allows for photos in locations you may not be able to get to on the big day.
In this case, Liz and Greg are getting married at the Calgary Zoo and their reception is there as well. So for their engagement session we got to hit one of our favourite urban spots.
Can't wait for the big day and to share the photos with y'all.
Does it make sense now mom?

Our last post of the September photo blitz showcases a new client. We loved meeting these 4. The little man comes equipped with his own Instagram profile so he was a natural in front of the camera.
Here's to our next blitz coming soon in just a few months! Keep your eyes peeled!
Since the first time we worked with Brandon and Shelby for their engagement session, and then through to their wedding, we have always looked forward to the next opportunity to work with these two.
Fast forward a few years, and two have become three. We were so happy to meet their little man. He was a trooper. Just so adorable. Can't wait to work with this family for years to come.
We met Christina several years ago as part of a bridal party. For this session, we got to meet three generations of awesome ladies and spent most of the time laughing. What a fun group and I love how much that comes across in the photos.
Enjoy!
Anytime we host a blitz, these guys are one of the first to sign up and we love them for it. Man, these kids have grown. They also both have such awesome blue eyes, that they are a joy to photograph.
We have such a great time working with this wonderful family. Can't wait till next time.
This was our first outing with this lovely group and we had a great time. As I reflect on this shoot, the phrase, "Bow side out!" keeps coming to mind. I believe we have a model in the making.
We are so happy with how these photos turned out. Hopefully we get the chance to work with them again.
We loved working with these two.
After an awesome engagement session in Hawrelak Park we knew their big day was going to be a great one. The bright, sunny day started out at the Nova Hotel, then we headed to a beautiful ceremony at the Grace Lutheran Church.
When we met them before the wedding, Brendan mentioned he had a friend at Parlour, a fantastic Italian restaurant in Edmonton. After the ceremony, we brought the wedding party to the restaurant where they opened early for us and served some delicious pizza. Places like this always lend themselves as fantastic backdrops for wedding photos.
After the photos were done, we headed to the Italian Cultural Centre for a wonderful reception and great music.
We are so happy with how these shots turned out. Congrats Jill and Brendan!
