It was so fun meeting Kelsey & Chris in Calgary for their engagement session! 

With all of the emailing that Kelsey and I have done over the past several months, it felt like we knew each other – even though this was the first time we actually met!  I’m thankful that they were willing to meet this photographer in an odd part of town to do their pictures : )

These two are so cute together and their love for each other is evident!

I’m excited to get to know them more and can’t wait for their wedding in the new year!

Here are just a few of my favorites….

Look at the above picture of this couple….and now imagine them in a suit and wedding dress!  Oh their wedding day is going to be beautiful!   Jacqueline has this classic/elegant type of beauty about her that is just captivating.

These two are getting married in just a few weeks here in Fort McMurray. It is hard to believe that their wedding day is just about here as we met several months ago.  I can’t wait!

Jacqueline & Brian have two super cute boys who were a part of their engagement session..turning it into an engagement/family session I suppose!  It was a hot afternoon when we got together – however they all did really great! 

Counting down the days!  In the meantime…here are just a few of my favorites  : )

I love shooting engagement sessions and capturing two people that are in love and almost overflowing with excitement for their approaching wedding day. The way that they look at each other is special and is unique to just that time in their lives.

This Edmonton session was extra special to me as I have grown up with Dimitri for years. How wonderful it was to meet the woman that he has fallen in love with and that he is about to wed.  Jamie is absolutely beautiful and has these gorgeous blue eyes that were just stunning!  I can’t wait to see these two on their wedding day! 

So excited for you two!

Christine

check out how strong this girl is!….

After meeting 3.5 years ago in Fort McMurray, this great couple is going to be getting married in less than a month in Halifax!  What an exciting (yet busy) time for them both!

How wonderful it was to be asked to photograph their engagement session before they head east for their big day!  These two are so cute together and our time was filled with smiles and laughs…..not to mention hot shoes and graffiti!  My favorite! 

Wishing you both an amazing wedding day and incredible years ahead together!

Christine

How wonderful it is to watch two people fall in love! 

It is even more special when you know one of them and can watch as just the right person enters their life at just the right time and their life love begins to grow. 

This has been the case with Ruth & Derek and I have loved watching them fall in love and grow in excitement for things to come and their future together.  These two just seem to be absolutely perfect for one another.  It was an honor to meet Derek for the first time as we got together for their engagement session in Edmonton. 

How fun it was to watch these two together!  The love that they have for one another is so obvious and evident in all that they do.  May that love continue to grow and flourish in the days, months and years ahead! 

Derek, you have one amazing women (as you are well aware) and she is a blessing and joy to so many.  Thank you for adding an extra sparkle to her beautiful blue eyes  : )

73 more sleeps until the big day!  Can’t wait!

There is something special about getting together and photographing two people that are in love.  My morning with Vanessa & Sean was definitely the highlight of my day and  I feel like we laughed the whole time : )  

These two are wonderful to be around and their love and appreciation for each other is so obvious.   A testimony of this commitment to one another was that Sean has Vanessa’s name tattoo’d on the inside of his wrist…so we definitely needed to capture that! 

After spending more time with these two – it is a given that their wedding is going to be simply beautiful….not to mention a lot of fun! 

Can’t wait!

Engagement sessions are always a special thing to photograph.  Capturing the love that a couple shares – the looks that the exchange and the tenderness in which they interact with one another.  It is such a special time in their lives and I love having the opportunity to spend time with them.

It was an honor to be asked to do Danelle & Drew’s engagement pictures, as they are friends of mine.  I love watching them interact and seeing their joy and love for one another…not to mention their excitement for the big day which is coming up in the fall!

Red is one of their wedding colors and I was thrilled to come across a pile of red barrels in my location scouting.  The weather was absolutely freezing when we got together for this shoot - however we had fun and made the most of it and they tried to “look” warm…even when sometimes that wasn’t the case!

Thanks you two for being absolutely amazing – during the shoot and otherwise!  We are so blessed to have you in our lives and are so excited for all that is to come for you!

Christine 

and of course….we can’t forget about the ring! 

Oh these two!  I am SOOO excited that they are getting married this Saturday!  I can hardly wait and I have a feeling that their wedding party is going to be a blast and that we are going to have so much fun together! 

We did their engagement session last fall – after about 3 attempts due to brutal weather.  The joys of shooting in the fall!  However, these two can bring attitude when needed – and it is fantastic!  The joy and love that they have for life and for each other is so obvious and evident – and I love it!

I am going to wait until after their wedding day to write more….but wanted to share these images with you.

Sophia…Calvin….I am counting down the hours and am so excited!! 

Christine

and of course we had to have some fun with it…..

Oh these two just make me smile!  I love it!

Ameeta and I actually met…..well…QUITE a while ago.  We were in the same kindergarten class if you can imagine!  And no, I am not going to post class pictures from way back then!  We were reunited a few years ago – before Danny entered the picture and I loved watching the change that this love and relationship brought to her life.  She is an amazingly beautiful woman who loves life, has an infectious laugh and just a way of making people feel comfortable and at ease. 

I had heard so much about Danny – but had never met him until this photo shoot.  One of my favorite aspects of this shoot – besides just spending time with them – was watching them interact.  The love that they share is so evident and just makes me smile! 

Danny, you have an amazing woman……but Ameeta…you also have an amazing man!  Love each other.  Remember this time in your life and the love and joy that you share.  May these pictures act as a reminder of that in the days and years to come.

SO excited for your wedding!!!

Christine

Danny….this one is for you!  : )
