These guys. I mean really though. It’s rare that when doing Calgary wedding photography that the groom’s ‘getting ready’ shots are some of your favourite of the shoot. But when you look at how much fun these guys are having playing football, the camaraderie and friendship is palpable. Cut to the guys getting their suits […]
My first visit to Cochrane’s Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, I was struck by the beautiful rolling foothills carved by the Bow River which snakes through it. That was summer. When Rachel & Steve asked me to do a winter engagement shoot, I thought that Glenbow Ranch may be an interesting setting, but wasn’t sure if […]
One of the most important aspects of photography is understanding light. You can try to use available light (meaning the light in the room), or you can try to manipulate light by bringing in external lighting/modifiers.

When planning this shoot, planner/designer Kismet & Clover sought to find a space that would complement these modern wedding dresses. The Commons […]
Getting to know someone by ‘dating’ them was an alien concept to me until I met my wife. Typically, I would meet someone through friends, or through a social situation etc. However, as I got older, I decided to try online dating and by some miracle I met the love of my life. As I […]
There were luxury acreages in every direction, each one with a stunning view of the Rocky Mountains, their owners’ little piece of paradise. However, that is what you expect when driving on the western outskirts of Calgary, it is an area known for it’s expensive properties. What you don’t expect is (for lack of a […]
A while back I did a quick Calgary portrait session for Blair and it was a lot of fun. Blair was a dapper, dapper gentleman and came to the photo shoot with a couple of outfit choices. We decided on the dark suit, with a patterned shirt and tan shoes – which made for a […]
