Couples bo***ir is easily one of my favourite things to photograph.

When the weather forecast has a windchill of -45, I find myself dreaming of green summer days. Or spring or fall. Or even just a casual 0 degrees.

Repeat after me: we don't have earthquakes, we don't have hurricanes, we don't have alligators.

When it’s -30 outside - may I suggest moving your photo location inside?

So thankful for the cozy neighbourhood bars I live near and that direct flash retro sort of vibe❤️

Also someone please celebrate with me that I can finally finally post more than 10 pictures in a carousel 🎉🎉

A few weeks back Edmonton had an one insane sunset.

Rain poured over the west of the city in those final moments of the sun making its way to the horizon. In this brief and perfect window, this beautiful couple and I had about 10 minutes to bask in the orange before we became surrounded by downpour. And for that snippet of time I can honestly say the world felt electric.

Every park goer wandering by shared I the moment with us. How beautiful was the sky. How beautiful were they. How perfect was it all.

A Métis wedding at Métis Crossing ☀️

This beautiful bride decided to get married at as a way to honour her heritage.

This stunning venue is Alberta’s first and only Métis cultural interpretive centre, and is built on original river lot titles of Métis settlers to the area.

Each quilt in the lodge is hand sewn by women from Métis women in our province. The venue incorporates Indigenous cuisine into their catering. Funding from weddings hosted here go to help keep the cultural centre - all of their workshops, education, interpretation - alive.

I couldn’t recommend this venue enough. It is so beautifully and thoughtfully constructed, and the perfect setting for a wedding.

I'm entirely obsessed with the idea of photographing a wedding ceremony in the rain.

That might sound insane to some people. Most people want to cancel even an engagement session in the rain. But to me? The photos look so dreamy and magical. There is a story telling element that can't be reproduced. They are heartstopping.

Give me every weather condition. I want snow and rainfall and winds. As long as I have a couple who wants to embrace it? I am so so good.

Let me introduce you to ✨Buddy✨ - the 12 year old golden retriever (and his humans).

Buddy and his first human met with his they were both really young. They grew up together through childhood and adolescence and to adulthood. It was then, in these more recent years, that Buddy got to meet his second human (with whom he and his dad both fell in love).

The three of them recently got a home together - and what better way to decorate than with photos of Buddy himself?

D&T - thank you for the reminder to always get photos taken with your pup. Pushing this up my own to-do list pronto.

Introducing the couple who got married on my birthday ✨

I normally wouldn't take a wedding booking on my birthday. Just the fact that it's my birthday would be reason enough, but the more important note about it, is that it's my mama's birthday too. Which means the day is (at a minimum) doubly important.

But when G&A reached out asking me to shoot just a little civil ceremony / elopement on the date I simply couldn't refuse. A little mini wedding during the morning of my birthday felt like the perfect present for me. Getting to witness all the love and have so much fun... I can't imagine anything better.

My birth was marked with a wedding too, which makes it feel all the more fitting. My parents good friend was getting married the day after I ended up being born, and so rather than go home when released from the hospital, my barely postpartum mama brought herself and her newborn to a wedding.

Weddings and birthdays are just the best combination 🥰

This ain't Texas 😝

So thankful for clients who will brave the rain with me + are open to any and all posing ideas (even when two seconds later sometimes our reactions were... this ain't it).
