Every once in a while, I meet a couple whose story feels like it was written for the big screen. Tessa and Stephanie  are exactly that. Their journey is a beautiful mix of fate, "unhinged" holiday projects, rave culture, and a shared love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We spent their engagement session exploring their wedding venue grounds, tapping into their "beauty, strength, and inner nerd," and honestly? It was a total level-up. The 10-Year Journey to "Stark" It start

There is something undeniable about the connection between Sarah and Nic. After seven years together, they move with an ease and a presence that is truly rare. When we headed up to Big Horn Lookout  for their engagement session, the views were breathtaking, but it was the way these two look at each other that really stole the show. From a "Bumble" Match to a Shared Journey Sarah and Nic’s story began nearly seven years ago on Bumble. Since then, they’ve built a life filled wi

There’s something incredibly special about a love that grows up with you. For Tessa and Thomas , their story didn’t start with a swipe or a chance meeting at a bar—it started in the halls of high school. After 15 years of friendship and a 10-year romantic journey, these two have built a life centered on family, great food, and their "cutie dog," Beren. We sat down with the couple to get the inside scoop on their decade-long romance and the sweet way Thomas finally popped the

I first met Kyra and Daniel at a bridal show in Calgary , and the moment they told me they were getting married in Nelson, BC , I was all in. It had been years since I’d visited the Kootenays, and the opportunity to return as their wedding photographer  was a dream come true. Kyra’s intuition is strong—early in their relationship, she drove past the Blaylock Mansion and told Dan, "We are going to get married there." On October 10, 2025 , a powerful intention-setting day, that

If there is one thing we know about June in Alberta, it’s that the weather is completely unpredictable. Isabella and Travis’s wedding at Rocking R Ranch  was a masterclass in how to pivot when the elements don't go according to plan. It rained—hard. With high winds and a chill in the air that felt more like October than June, it could have easily dampened the mood. But Isabella and Travis didn’t let it. As a Calgary wedding photographer , I’ve learned that some of the most ro

There is nothing quite like the excitement of a wedding day, but Darlene and Marcello’s celebration had an extra layer of magic. These two worked together 20 years ago and maintained a beautiful friendship through all of life’s twists and turns. Documenting their journey as their Airdrie wedding photographer  was a true highlight of my season. I first met this wonderful couple at the Circle Bridal Show. Darlene is truly one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met, and her love for

Every once in a while, a wedding comes along that is so unique, so "them," and so full of life that it reminds me exactly why I love being a wedding photographer in Calgary . Rachel and Max’s day at the Meadow Muse Pavilion  was exactly that—a magical blend of Lord of the Rings  whimsy, Harry Potter  charm, and a sunset color palette that was a filmmaker's dream. An Enchanting Ceremony at Fish Creek Park The day began at the gazebo at Bow Valley Ranche for a beautiful hand-ty

There is something timeless about a black-and-white wedding. It’s a color palette that never goes out of style, and for Sarah and Brett’s July wedding at Elspeth Events , Near Sylvan lake, it was the definition of "classic." Coming back to capturing wedding films  this season has been so life-giving. Videography allows me to capture the things a photo just can't—the catch in a voice during a vow, the laughter during cocktail hour, and the way a dress moves during a sunset str

If there is one thing I love more than a beautiful wedding, it’s a surprise wedding ! Natalie and Colin pulled off the ultimate "gotcha" for their friends and family, and being their Calgary wedding photographer  for this secret mission was a highlight of my year. Part One: The "Engagement Party" Reveal The guests arrived at the historic Reader Rock Garden  in Calgary under the impression they were celebrating an engagement. While Colin worked the crowd and kept everyone dist

There is nothing quite like a summer wedding in the Rockies. As a Canmore wedding photographer , I get to see a lot of beautiful days, but Ariana and Brent’s celebration was truly one for the books. Ariana was actually referred to me by her sister, Allyson, a talented local makeup artist I’ve had the pleasure of working with many times. When Ariana reached out and told me she wanted me to capture her big day, I was over the moon! Knowing the family already made the day feel l
