Calgary Bridal Guide Cover Shoot
Back in October of 2010, I was so pleased to work with Lisa Vettese and the team at Calgary Bridal Guide on a shoot for the cover of the book. We had two themes in mind that day and therefore two locations. Our first location was a barn north of Calgary and we were working to achieve an organic, feminine, vintage feel. My photo that was selected for the cover was taken at our second location and is due to be released in December 2011. It remains under wraps for now but watch for details on that portion of the shoot later in the year. In the interim, I’ve posted my favourites from the first location on the blog today. You can also find more images peppered throughout the Calgary Bridal Guide (on pages 28,51, 56, 57,120). Be sure to pick up a copy.



















We worked with a group of talented vendors to make this shoot happen.

WOW! This is beautiful! Love the styling details, the cakes, and the back lighting. And the doggie lying in the corner of the one shot. Can't wait to see the cover!

Fantastic work on the lighting in this setting Tara! Brides and Grooms often underestimate how important lighting is to capture their moments in their dream locations. Outstanding work and attention to detail!
