Engagement
Engagement shoots are a good time, its a chance to get to know each other and have some fun exploring, chatting, joking around.
We wandered around the Exchange and The Forks. We kicked leaves, had piggy back rides down the side of a slippery hill, enjoyed some laughs and found some beautiful light. I'd say we all had a pretty damn good time!
Can't wait for more good times with these two!
Part 3 - The last day in Iceland
Im actually going to start this off on the evening of Day 2, better yet I'll start it off from my birthday, back in June. Amanda arranged to take me out for wings (I love hot wings!) for my birthday. I figured it was just the two of us, but her being the amazing wife she is, she invited a bunch of our good friends out. Surprise! After getting over the fact that I get to enjoy wings with all my friends, we got to chatting about the upcoming trip to Iceland. This peeked some interest with Robyn and Lionel, and gave them a gentle push to plan a trip there for the same time as us. We also persuaded them with the offer to take their photo's out there! So next thing ya know they've booked their flights to be there the same time as us!
Fast forward now back to the evening of Day 2 in Iceland. We just drove back from Budir shooting Mikaila and Wills elopement. We were running on very little sleep, and pretty exhausted, however Robyn and Lionel we're headed over to our AirBNB and we were going to have a night out, dinner and a "couple" drinks. We made our way down to the bumpin' and fun part of Reykjavik for some dinner. After a drink and a shot of Icelandic vodka we wandered around finding all the cool little places we could to stop in for more drinks. We even ended up in the Big Lebowski bar... super random right! That night was a blast, as it always seems to be, when we get together with those two! If you happened to catch our live insta stories from out there, you'd see a bit of the fun we were having.
The plan for Day 3 was to head out with Robyn and Lionel and check out waterfalls, and adventure and take wild pictures wherever we could. That morning our bodies said NO. Amanda had come down with a terrible cold before we even left Canada, and was being a trooper keeping up with this crazy busy adventurous trip, and my body was feeling the exhaustion of being on the go with very little sleep. So we had to let them head out on their own. After getting some energy back after a lazy day spent eating fish and chips in our room, we decided we'd head out on the road and meet Robyn and Lionel on their way back to Reykjavik. We found this amazing spot on the side of the highway with steam coming from the ground, hot springs, and hot water seeping out of the mountain side. As usual in Iceland it was raining too. Robyn and Lionel managed to get to the spot with about 15 minutes of light left, and we managed to pull off the shoot you see below. Super glad we could make it happen, and snag some amazing photo's of these fantastic friends of ours.
As of just a couple days before writing and posting this blog, we have just confirmed another elopement in Iceland. I am extremely stoked to be heading back out there, to seeing more of that wild country, and having my mind blown by its wild landscapes! Oh yeah and those amazing gas station bacon wrapped hot dogs!!!
Enjoy!!

A gorgeous evening was spent chasing that beautiful fall sunset light with Katie and Adam. I always enjoy getting out for a shoot, looking for the light and chatting with our couples and getting to know them just a little better!
Enjoy!
Kylie and Shane got engaged last year, and needed some fancy engagement photo's before they hit the crazy streets of Las Vegas for their wedding! Had a great evening with these guys chasing light and having some good laughs!

Fall time is pretty darn fantastic, if I had to choose my favorite season Fall would win for sure.
I met up with Nikolina and Paul at her parents cabin in the Whiteshell. It's always nice to shoot somewhere with special meaning to a couple. They took me to some great locations for photo's and we ended up back at the cabin and down on the dock for what proved to be one hell of an amazing sunset!!
Enjoy!
It wasn't the warmest of beach days, but we did have a great time climbing rocks, playing in the sand, and maybe a bit of splashing in the water at the end. I sure miss the fall and all the fun shoots!
We'll be posting their wedding soon too!
Feeling all kinds of lucky with the amazing places we got to shoot this past year. Dahna and Kris took me out to the Whiteshell and we went to places I've never been before. We shot until it started to get dark and then had to walk back through the trails in the dark (Thankfully I had a flashlight with me) and then we shot some more in the dark!
We had a great time wandering and chatting, its always nice getting that chance to connect more with the couples we work with.
Enjoy!
Seeing as Heather and Jeremy met each other while attending the University of Manitoba, it seemed like a great idea to head back to their old stomping grounds.We wandered around, found some pretty light, and even went inside to get some photo's in some familiar spots for them. Oh, and they brought their very cute pup Django!
Enjoy!

I don't think i'll ever get tired of adventures! Stephanie and Derek had a great idea of heading out to the Seven Sisters Dam for their engagement shoot. Obviously I was down with this idea. We wandered through bush, climbed rocks and chased tiny waterfalls. Also contemplated walking through some questionable water (we didn't go through with it)
These two were a lot of fun, and we all had a pretty great evening with this adventure!
Keshia and Nikko took me on an adventure out to Pinawa, we got off the beaten path and climbed rock piles, and did what it took to get the shots. It should be mentioned that Keshia did all of this in heels without any hesitation!
Looking forward to their wedding next September!
Enjoy!
