I’m so excited today because two of my 2013 Calgary engagement photos were selected amongst the favourites of the Calgary Bridal Alliance  Both of these images and these couples are very special to me, so it feels great to have them recognized amongst a group of talented Calgary engagement photographers.   An engagement session is an important first step in the wedding photography process.  As your photographer, it gives me the chance to get to know you and vice versa.  You get a sense of how I work, I learn what makes you giggle and by the time the wedding rolls around, we’ll be old friends.

There’s no limit to what you can do with your engagement photographs.  Not only do they make beautiful art pieces for your home, they can also be used to make unique save-the-dates and wedding invitations.   

The first image was from Laura-Lynn and Ryan’s winter engagement session.  If you’re a newly-engaged couple and think that engagement photos must be taken in the summer, this shoot will be sure to change your mind.  Take a look at this session and see how ethereal and dreamy winter engagement photographs can be.

The second photo was from Kari & Derek’s Gatsby-inspired engagement session.  If you’re looking to add a little something special to your engagement session, I offer styling services.  I can help you plan your Calgary engagement photos to the smallest detail.  As an example, the starting point for this shoot was a chapter from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, where Daisy and Gatsby and reunited at afternoon tea.  I helped Kari & Derek add some 1920’s touches to their shoot, while keeping it completely relevant to today.
