Mary & Derrick & Sadie

'Adorable' does not even begin to describe this little family. When we shot Mary & Derrick's wedding a few years ago in Banff we had a blast & were looking forward to the next chance to get them behind the camera. The pregnancy shots were next & now the beautiful Sadie. She's such an wonderful combination of her mom & dad & they are every bit the dotting parents. Like I said...adorable doesn't even do these guys justice.




Sheila & Neil

You're supposed to wait until after we're married to test the 'in sickness and in health' part she told him with a smile. He smiles back & says 'Thank-you'. With the recent health concerns behind them Sheila & Neil are closer than ever & it shows. Thanks for shooting in the rain on a chilly fall afternoon guys, I'm glad there's nothing that's going to keep your spirits down :)



Scott & Charis

I smile to myself as I think of how Charis & Scott played & laughed as I was shooting their e-session. Charis was contantly teasing & poking & laughing as Scott did his best to keep a straight face. With their lighhearted spirits & obvious affection for each other it's easy to see why they fell in love...I can't wait to capture their wedding in Banff this winter. Enjoy!




Heather & Dan & Ava

Ava was full of smiles when I arrived & I immediately fell in love with this little sweetie. I was able to capture a some wonderfully delicious baby details & family moments with her very thrilled new parents before little Ava had to have a nap. I was so impressed at how confidently & easily both parents interacted with their daughter, the love in the room was easy to capture.




Emma & Jarrod - Prego

I'd have to say that pregnancy never ceases to amaze me. Having gone through it twice I am well aware of what happens to a womans body, but seeing those intimate moments between the soon to be parents, those half nervous, half excited giggles as the baby moves, and the sense of anticipation is just amazing to be around. Emma & Jarrod are expecting their first in a few weeks & I can't wait to photograph the next stage in their soon to be changed forever lives...Best of luck!

Meredith & BJ - Baker Creek Sept.8/07

The wood fire was crackling warmly & the cool breeze from the open window carried the sound of the creek outside their door, the meal had been amazing & everything was just right. Unfortunately, her birthday fell on friday the 13th that year (& he didn't want to take any chances with his luck) so as the hour neared midnight and they slipped into their pajamas he kept an eye on the clock. It was 12:15 a.m. as he pulled the engagement ring from the waistband of his pajama pants her eyes widened in shock. After saying 'yes' about a million times they got down to business & started planning the guest list that night. 10 months later they returned to the same gorgeous spot to pledge their love in front of a small group of immediate family & a few close friends. We were priveledged to be a part of that intimate ceremony & to capture Meredith & BJ's day.

A WEDDING IN ITALY!!!!

They are complete opposites but compliment each other in every way. Artistic, creative, unique & passionate, with an old world charm, bold colors, history & elegance.... it's amazing how the words Emily & Hector used to describe the feeling they are looking for in their location & feel of their wedding in Italy reflect their personalities perfectly. We are extremely honored that these two incredible people have chosen Matt & I to be a part of & photograph their wedding in Florence, Italy. The only hard part is the wait. It's being planned for June 2010.....We can't imagine anything more exciting to look forward to.
