Maternity Shots in the Winter

I have had the pleasure of working with Elise many times over the last 8 years or so and the results are really spectacular! These are stunning maternity shots that we took on a cold day in December. Elise and Devin brought their A game.

Brandon & Brittani Wedding & EDM Party

This was an extremely stunning/fun wedding. Brittani and I have been friends for many years and I was very honoured to be there to capture this happy day. Their wedding was very unique in that after dinner, everyone busted out their party outfits and glow sticks and we proceed to have an amazing EDM party. It was truly too much fun!

Inked

Mandy has been one of my favourite models to work with, she has spunk, style and a way of making beautiful things happen with my camera!

Haleakala Summit

Ashley and I had the wonderful chance to travel to the summit of the Haleakala Volcano in Hawaii. This is a state park that looks a bit like the surface of Mars. It is very different than the rest of Maui. On the day that we went up it when the sun was setting it was around 5 degrees celsius. We stayed at the top hiking and photographing for the better part of around 8 hours. We had wanted to stay longer to do some star photos with the observatory in the background. This didn't happen on account of the full moon that rose soon after sunset. So we packed it in and went back down to the beach to warm up. Here are some really stunning shots from our time at the summit.

Death Valley

So Ashley and I were in California and ended up in Death Valley State Park which is an amazing ecosystem that looks like it is straight out of the Middle East. The hottest temperatures we experienced while traveling through the park was 49 degrees celsius, which makes you over heat really quickly (Ashley enjoyed this much more than I did). Some of the sand dunes were very high and we had to hike a bit to see them. The hike in was slightly terrifying as while we were walking along every ten feet or so the dirt would collapse underneath of us and we would step into a hole of some burrowing denizen. It could have been just a mouse but we both were convinced that it belonged to a snake. Anyways some amazing pictures came out of it and I am very happy with them.

Tara and Will's Epic Engagement Shoot

We did a great engagement shoot with Tara and Will and it turned out beautifully inspire of the rain!

Petra in the Park

Petra helped me shoot these beautiful fall portraits. We recently moved and I have a giant park nearby that is so beautiful for portraits or family photo shoots!  

A Mountain Elopement

Ashley and Addison are a lovely couple that decided to elope in Moraine Lake, near Lake Louise, Alberta. The scene was stunning, however it ended up raining for the entire ceremony and all of the pictures afterwards. Ashley was a total trooper, most brides would have fallen to pieces at having to walk through puddles and have their hair get wet, she just hiked up her dress and off we went. The rain did have the upside of getting rid of almost all of the tourists and we generally had the entire lake to ourselves. The pictures turned out amazing in spite of the clouds and rain. Thanks Ashley and Addison for sharing your special day with me.
