Adventure Couple Session N+A- Banff Wedding Photographer

Nate And Adeleah flew here for a little time away from home, and to experience the great Canadian Rockies! While they were here they wanted to do a Banff photo session with me, and it was such an honor. Adaleah is an incredible photographer herself back home in Ontario! They showed up the in cutest outfits, and trusted me as I had them running up, down and all around the hills to chase the gorgeous golden hour light we had that evening!

See a few of their Banff Couple Session photos below! <3

Moustache Man + Mountain Girl- Canmore Wedding Photographer

Moustache Man + Mountain Girl - Canmore Wedding Photographer

You’re probably wondering about the title, so I guess that is a good place to start…lol Parker and Allison are a ridiculously sweet, fun loving and genuine couple! When you’re around them, you just can’t help but smile! Allison loves being in the mountains, and Parker is a country man with an epic moustache. So there mountain wedding at the rustic venue Cornerstone Theatre was the perfect mix of the two of them. 

It was FREEZING cold. Like frostbitten fingers cold. Here I was all worried about the bridal party staying warm enough, and they were they ones saying no no, we’re good! Let’s take off our jackets and do some more photos! Tyler, Mike, Bill, Laurie, Jennifer, Jade, you guys are amazing!! Such wonderful friends for Parker and Allison! 

Okay now on to the good stuff, a few of my favourite photos of the day!!

Thank you to all the amazing vendors who helped make this day incredible!

Banff Family Session- Calgary Family Photographer

This SWEET family came all the way up from beautiful Arizona and connected with me to shoot their Banff family session for them! Momma Michelle is a photographer herself. Some people are weary of shooting other artists and their families, but I was beyond excited!! I knew that her being a photographer means that the whole family understands the importance of memories, and they would really value what I do. <3

When I saw sweet family, I am not exaggerating at all. Anyone who knows them, I’m sure has a million amazing things to say about them! Such wonderful people. <3 Not to mention… they are basically all models. 

Have a look at the photos and you’ll know what I’m taking about.. ;)

Adventure Wedding Session-Banff Elopement Photographer

This story, is one that HAD to make it to the blog! Jen and Jordan got married a few weeks prior to this shoot in Calgary. The day was laid out perfect, and everything was going according to plan! BUT mother nature had a different idea then we did, haha. Jen and Jordan had their hearts set on romantic, woodsy, outdoor portraits of them that day. Unfortunately we got hit with an insane downpour, and some intense wind that would not let down.

We were able to find a gorgeous indoor location, and shoot all of the bridal party and portraits there, but it just wasn’t what they had hoped for.

Fast forward a few days, Jen and I were chatting about an idea she had in her head. She thought that it would be amazing to just get dressed up again, and go out for photos somewhere incredible!! It was a no brainer to say YES and get this plan in action asap. These two truly understand the importance of photography and the memories that it preserves. It is not possible to put into words how much I appreciate couples who truly understand the investment they are making into their lives by working with me on creating these irreplaceable moments. <3

Now the good stuff….Here’s some photos! ;)

P.S Say hello to their sweet pup Penny. She had to be included in on the adventure, of course!

Alberta Mountain Engagement Session <3

 The first time I met Jen and Jordan was for coffee to chat about their wedding. I knew right off the bat, we were going to get along so well! They truly value the investment behind photography, and know just how important memories are. <3

Gosh, I just LOVE it when my clients are the people I want to grab coffee and hangout with. These two met me in Brag Creek, Alberta and we headed out towards kananaskis from there for their engagement shoot! We spent the afternoon laughing, adventuring around and having good old heartwarming conversations. Jordan and Jen have such a beautiful connection and most of the time, it was like I wasn't even there. I would go to start my usual posing, and quickly realized these two were naturals in front of the camera and really didn't need too much assistance in the "be cute" area!

Jen is the first to email me when she has any questions about the timeline of the wedding day, down to the smallest of details that she thinks could possibly effect the photography aspect of the day.  It warms my heart SO much to know that my clients come to me, trusting me that I can not only photograph, but help with all general aspects of their special day. <3 I've always said as a wedding photographer, I'm secretly also a low key wedding day coordinator. Anything that I can help my brides with, I surely will do! 

(Thank YOU Jen! I know you'll be reading this. ;) )

Ok here are just a few of my favourite photos... P.S they brought their puppy! Yup, now you really need to look at them. ;)

A huge shoutout to the incredibly talented Aprille for dolling up Jen for her session! Go check out this crazy talented MUA/stylist here.
