Kristen first contacted me in 2009 just before Matt was deployed to Afghanistan.  She wanted to arrange for a special photo session that they can share while he was away.   Often we forget as photographers how important our work is and what it can mean to our clients.  I’m so glad to have been able to do that session for them.  After Matt returned Kristen again emailed me to let me know that they were engaged.  I’m so happy to be a part of their wedding and loved every minute of it.  We brought the photo booth for this wedding and Matt & Kristen’s guests put it to use for the entire evening.  You can view more from Matt & Kristen’s wedding on the wedding obsession where it was featured.  Kristen’s dress was purchased at Novelle Bridal.  

Dobry & Gillian’s wedding was in beautiful Jasper National Park at the Pyramid Lake Resort.  Their families showed what was one of the most emotional speeches I’ve seen yet.  I adore emotional weddings.  It’s so exciting seeing the facial expressions build while I’m looking through my camera.

The fearless photographers is a group of artists that dare to push boundaries and expectations.  The group’s name itself sounds like a team of superheroes and I’m very proud to be listed with all the other talented members.  There are many different organizations that provide photographers with an opportunity to compete with other photographers and challenge their skills but what sets the fearless apart is the selection process.  Each photo is vetted by top industry leaders, these are all people that I very much look up to in wedding photography and people who have themselves inspired and encouraged other photographers to push their creativity to the limit and beyond.  They’re each a specialist in wedding photography and know from experience what it takes to get a fearless shot.  Very few make the cut.  You can view more of the winning photos on their facebook page.  And when you’re there please leave comments, photographers love to hear comments on their work.

This photo is from a moment at Ashley and Greg’s wedding in Edmonton.  It was a truly touching instant when Ashley’s father came to see her that made each person in the room cry, including the photographer.
