August 3rd, 2010 • Albums, Calgary Engagement & Partners Photography

I took some snaps of Pal & Nims’ guest book album before handing it over – man its so beautiful I wanted to keep it haha.

Congrats you guys on your wedding hope your getting lots of wicked answers to the questions!!!

The Green cover – I oooo and ahhh over this colour. Its so beautiful! They also come in a bunch of other funky colours.

The beautiful dust jacket that comes with all the lay-flat albums. Its wicked because if you want to take it somewhere you have a little jacket for your album. As funny as that sounds its so handy.

the cover flap!

side view!

Thicker pages for a mode durable and longer lasting Album ; )

Here are a few of the spreads – note this is a lay-flat album so when you lay it down there is no cut between the pages its completely flush with a beautiful micro fold

The white space is used for signatures or if you decide to put questions in your album than the answers!

The wicked micro-fold allows me to put words or images in the fold!

The last page has my little logo on it!

Danelle + Don – Partners Session

July 28th, 2010 • Calgary Engagement & Partners Photography

I cant start to describe how amazing Danelle is as a person. I met Danelle a few months back when I did her Boudoir session (Dons a lucky guy!)

She was telling me how she wasn’t to fond of her wedding images and how she wanted to do something with Don; her husband so they could have wicked images of them together – so I suggested a partners session.

After a few e-mail back and forth deciding on location and props. We decided to hit up a little urban and a little industrial spots for their Partners session.

I love how Danelle borough “Mr. Calculator” and Don brought his engineering tools to make their session really personal!

Here are some of the wicked images from Danelle & Don’s Calgary Partners Session.

How did you meet?
We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party at a restaurant.

I love this capture!

Was it love at first site?
Yes, as cheesy as it sounds, it was love at first sight!  The minute Don walked into the restaurant and I saw him, it was love.  I went home that night, called my sister, and told her I’d met the man that I was going to marry… and 3.5 years later, we were married!  Several months into our relationship, Don confessed that he had the exact same reaction when he saw me in the restaurant.

What Danelle loves about Don:
I love just about everything!  Don is the kindest person you will ever meet.   He’s ambitious, intelligent, talented, and a blast to be around!  He has made my life a wonderful adventure so far and I look forward to spending the rest of forever with him!

What Don loves about Danelle:
Danelle is a very determined and ambitious person with a huge heart and a lot of love to give.  She makes me want to be a better man.

Yes, I asked them to sit on this old chair I found… Yes it was dirty… but MAN it was worth it ; )

I love the creamy sepia tone… It really makes Danelles’ eyes pop!

I LOVE this image! This is one of my faves of all time.

I

Danelle & Don look like models! Love.

Its so important to capture emotion thats real and true. I think they have a really special connection together.

How did the engagement go down, who asked who (little story)?
Don took me on a surprise picnic one afternoon and popped the question.   I was completely caught off guard and it was perfect!

What about Danelle makes you smile?
When she smiles, it is contagious.
When she cries at…well, almost anything sentimental on television.
When she catches herself having a blonde moment.

What about Don makes you smile?
Don is a bit of a perfectionist and I always smile at his tendency to go a bit… over board!

I really love quilts – my mom has made me so many over the years.. I was so excited when I saw Don & Danelles’ quilt they got as a gift for their wedding. Its stunning.

Below is Mr. Calculator. The one and only : P

Man + Greg – Engaged

July 28th, 2010 • Calgary Engagement & Partners Photography

Driving up to the first location I was excited to see Man & Greg were just as early for their session as I was.

We met on a dirt road in-front of an old barn that I had found weeks ago – a perfect spot for a picnic engagement session. Greg popped off the top of the champagne bottle and had to do a little dance action to loosen up – it normally takes people 15 to 20 mins to get all loose and comfortable! A little dance was gregs perfect remedy!

I had such a  great time shooting Man & Greg – I hope you guys have a wonderful wedding and such a beautiful life together!!!!

What Man  Loves about Greg:

He makes me laugh, brings a smile to my face…he really is my best friend.

What Greg Loves about Man:

She’s my best friend, sexy, & the banter we have.

How did the engagement go down, who asked who (little story)? We were on vacation in Honolulu and I (Greg) had the ring on me for 4 days before I found the right time.  I was going to propose on a dinner cruise but Man got very sea sick L.  I finally did it at dinner on solid ground.

What about Man makes you smile?

Her smile and laugh.

What about Greg makes you smile?

The corky stuff he does…stuff I only know about…lol

How did you know he/she was the one?

Just knowing how much I missed her while I am away working (Greg).  We had a brief break up, during that time I knew he was the one when I asked him if we made a mistake breaking up, we didn’t get back together then but a month later when he finally realized I was the one… we’ve been together ever since (Man)
