August 26, 2009 // Engagement

Cara and Brad hired me for their September wedding based on what Cara saw in my photos. I know that makes perfect sense, but it doesn't always work that way. Cara had been looking through on line wedding sites and was able to define what her style is, and found it in me. I was happy to know we were on the same page! When I arrived at their home out in the country, in an area I'd never really explored, Cara had every location picked out. We took a little drive to check things out, and I was super impressed. We were more than on the same page, she totally understood and shared my vision. I'm not sure Brad really understood either of us, but hey, he was a good sport! Hopefully we'll have him convinced after he sees these!!!

Brad and Cara, thanks for a great (if mosquito filled) evening out in the wide open country. And thanks for being up for anything!! I enjoyed getting to know you a bit, and can't wait for the wedding!

love this location Cara found. This is when I knew we were going to get along!

Mike and Jacquie's Wedding 07/11/09

August 19, 2009 // Wedding

Jacquie was referred to me by not only one, but two randomly mutual friends. It's a long story, but anyway... After meeting her briefly at our mutual friend Carly's wedding, and talking over many, many emails, I already felt like I knew her. After spending three hours with she and Mike wondering all over Winnipeg for their Engagement Session, I felt like we were friends.

Jacquie sent one of the sweetest Thank You cards ever!

On to the wedding! Mike and Jacquie wed on a gorgeous afternoon in July. Every detail was thought out, and Jacquie knew exactly what she wanted, right down to the circular set up ceremony. I was amazed at the confidence they had in me when it came down to the photography, especially location choice! After I came up with some ideas, Mike and Jacquie drove around town checking out my locations. They were honest, they had their doubts about my favorite spot, but they trusted me. Hopefully they'll feel it paid off! They were a dream to work with, giving me total creative control, and ample time to work with. It was a dream!!!

Mike and Jacquie, I hope you love your photos as much as I loved taking them!

a slideshow of the day can be found here.

This is one of my many favorites!

This next one is definitely another favorite!!!

A little "Pick Me Up"

August 18, 2009 // Engagement

Cara just emailed me. She's having just one of those days. After reading my last little post, she was super hopeful my next post would be at least a sneak peek of her and Brad's engagement session. Well, I have had my share of bad days, and sometimes the smallest thing can turn it all around. Wish I had them all ready Cara, but hopefully this will help!
