Well this blog post is a little late since I have been in the middle of a big move.  It's also partially late because this couple rocked their photos so well, its been almost impossible to choose just a few, so get ready for a long post.  I met with Janelle and Michael over a year ago to book their wedding and have been looking forward to it ever since.  They are beautiful people, inside and out.  So are their friends and families.  We had a blast.  Thanks everyone.  I would just like to add that the girls had all their hair and makeup done at this wonderful shop called Indira Salon and Spa.  Be sure to check them out.  They were such a great bunch of girls and did great work.  Also, while at the spa, Michael had a special gift delivered to Janelle.  You will see a few photos of these amazing cupcakes that honestly looked too beautiful to eat.  They are also just as delicious as they are beautiful and they came from the wonderful Koko Patisserie on Broad St in Regina.  If you are looking for some extra special, unforgettable treats, Koko is definitely the place to go so be sure to check them out.  Thanks again Michael, Janelle and family for being so great to work with.  Congratulations and all the best in your wonderful new life together.

You're so welcome Janelle. You guys were so great to work with and you really were such a beautiful bride. You just have such a classic beauty and were a pleasure to shoot. Both of you were. Can't wait to work with you again!

Just over a week ago I had the great pleasure to kick off the summer wedding season with Tim and Chantelle.  I must say I had such a great time at this wedding.  They are so in love and there were so many tears of joy throughout the whole day.  That's how a wedding should be.  Thanks Tim and Chantelle for letting me share in that with you and your amazing family and friends.
I know you have an extremely happy future a head of you. :)

On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting Kristle and Josh's winter wedding.  We were very fortunate to have quite a nice day, for February that is.  But with such great families and bridal party, I think we could have handled anything.  Thanks everyone for being so wonderful to work with and to Josh and Kristle for being such a relaxed bride and groom.  A special thank you goes out to Tom and Mike at the Regina Flying Club.  They really rolled out the red carpet for us.  Thanks guys.  Much appreciated.

When we were so warmly welcomed at the Regina Flying Club, the guys there filled us in on a recent Fashion Shoot that had been done in the summer by the very talented Nikole Peters of Nikole Peters Photography.  We all loved it so much we decided to try our "Winter Wedding Version" of it.

The week before Christmas I shot the long awaited of Jeremy and Whitney.  Long awaited as I have had it booked for a few years now, lol.  This was a local wedding and local weddings are so special.  I have known Jeremy and Whitney for a long time.  Actually I have know Whitney since she was born.  It seems so crazy that I am now shooting the weddings of my friends children.  Well this wedding was a blast.  It was definitely filled with love and happiness that you can definitely see in the photos.  Sorry in the delay in getting this post up over the holidays guys.
Enjoy your images!
IMG_8980.jpgWith the wedding being held one week before Christmas, could you think of a better place to do the ring shots?

IMG_8982.jpg
IMG_8989.jpgMore beautiful bouquets from Jane and Kristin and Flowers on Main in Melville.  They always do the most beautiful work!!

IMG_8992.jpg

IMG_9011.jpg
The Wedding Boots.  How awesome (and warm) are these!!

IMG_9019.jpgThese pearls belong to Grama Lutz.  She wore them to her own wedding, then the brides mother wore them when she got married and now passed them down to Whitney.  I love special traditions.

IMG_9025b.jpg
IMG_9034.jpg
Waiting to be worn.....

IMG_9038.jpgThis is the first image that shows what a hockey family this is.  This image is especially for the brides father and brother....The biggest Detroit fans I know!

IMG_9046.jpgAnother special keepsake.  This ring box was made by Grama Lutz for for the brides mother Leanne.  I thought it would be a great place for another ring shot.

IMG_9047.jpgAs happy an occasion as this was, it was also a little bitter sweet as Grampa Clarence was not there to share in it.  This is Grampa's ring which you will see tied into the brides dress later on.  Clarence was such a wonderful guy and the life of the party.  I know that he was there, watching out over his very special Grand daughter.

IMG_9055.jpgGetting ready!  Thank goodness for great friends like Morgan Cyca.  She did all of the hair and the brides nails for the wedding.  Awesome job Morgan!

IMG_9062.jpgThe makeup was done by Chris Miller from Mary Kay in Regina.  What a nice treat to have someone come to the home to do makeup for everyone.  I love when that happens.  If you are looking for a great makeup artist, make sure you check her out!

IMG_9064b.jpgOMG Whitney.  You are gorgeous!

IMG_9086.jpgI was not surprised to see this lying around.  Whitney is one of the most organized people I know.  She comes by it honestly as her mom IS the most organized person I know, lol.

IMG_9091.jpgJeremy sent a very lovely letter for Whitney to read as she was getting ready.  It was a tough job to keep those tears at bay and not ruin the lovely makeup. 

IMG_9104.jpgA special something blue from Grama Lutz.

IMG_9118.jpgWhitney's dress was so beautiful and it was from Tracey's on Broadway in Yorkton.  Talk about extra special service.....Tracey came out to lace up all of the girls dresses.

IMG_9125.jpgBeautiful bride in her beautiful pink striped socks, lol?  Hey, in Saskatchewan you need to prepare yourself for a winter wedding!!

IMG_9136.jpgGrama Lutz passing down the pearls.

IMG_9139.jpg
IMG_9156.jpgOn the way to the church.  The girls were nice and warm in their fur trimmed capes.

IMG_9171.jpgRight before we left for the church, we took 5 minutes to snap this photo.  This special play house was Grama Lutz's when she was a little girl.  A special request of the bride.

IMG_9181.jpgThe guys!!!  Everyone is ready to go!

IMG_9198.jpgA quick huddle and now we are really ready to go, lol!

IMG_9241.jpgFirst time seeing the bride.  Wow!

IMG_9247.jpgHere comes the bride.

IMG_9249.jpgGiving the bride away.

IMG_9258.jpgThe ceremony was held in the Lutheran Church in Lemberg.  Its so pretty and has great light.  I love all of the white!!

IMG_9299.jpgThe bride and her sister are both singers.  Shelby sang a special song just for Whitney and Jeremy.

IMG_9294.jpg
IMG_9308.jpg
IMG_9325.jpg
IMG_9374.jpg
Like I said earlier.....happy, happy, happy.

IMG_9431.jpgHappy tears!

IMG_9436.jpgA special surprise from Minister and friend PK.  The groom is a huge Toronto fan, so right before "The Kiss" PK changed into something special just for Jeremy, lol.

IMG_9445.jpgHappy!

IMG_9457.jpg
Happy!

IMG_9528.jpgOne quick group shot before we head to the studio for more photos.

IMG_9539-2.jpgAfter the wedding it was back to the studio, but first, about 15 minutes for some quick outdoor shots while there was still a bit of light.

IMG_9556.jpg

A few bridal shots.  Whitney, you have always been such a gorgeous girl.

IMG_9754cc.jpg
IMG_9789b2.jpg
Love these two shots.

IMG_9789ccsg.jpg
IMG_9780.jpg
Okay, I've got to say that Jeremy was looking pretty handsome himself!!

IMG_9820b.jpg
IMG_9822.jpg
IMG_9826.jpg
Love this shot so much that I had to post both versions of it.

IMG_9826b.jpg
IMG_9891b.jpg
True hockey players, through and through.

IMG_9905.jpgA quick fun shot before we head to the hall.  Aren't these hats a great idea from groomsman gifts?  Hmmm....with all those different teams, how do they all get along, lol.

IMG_0225.jpgTheir big entrance to the reception!

IMG_0271b.jpgThe first dance.

IMG_0281.jpgAnd to end this post, a special moment caught between husband and wife.  I love those moments.  All the best to you Whitney and Jeremy in your new married life together.  I know you will be oh so happy!!!!

I have had so many people inquire about booking me for July 24, 2010 and had to turn them done because I was already booked.  Unfortunately, sometimes things happen and I have had a couple call of their wedding so this date is now available.  If you are still looking for a photographer for this date, please contact me ASAP before it books up again. And just because a blog post is always better with a photo, here's one of my favorites from this fall.

This past weekend was a busy one with Mandy and Dave's wedding on Saturday and Bridal Fair on Sunday.  Needless to say by the time it was all done my poor feet were pretty sore, lol.  But Saturday was a great day and Mandy & Dave were awesome to work with.  So was their wedding party and family.  I always have to laugh at the end of the day when the wedding party is saying "Thanks for putting up with us" and I am thinking "Weren't they awesome and a blast to work with".  I am very fortunate to have such great clients and do something that I absolutely love.  Mandy and Dave, I hope you guys are having a wonderful honeymoon and thanks again for everything.  Here's a selection of images from your day.
