I don’t know if I’ve met a couple that is as perfect for each other as these two.  Stephanie has a definite flair for the dramatic and Jan is as even keeled as one can get.  Their adoration for each other was completely evident the entire time I was with them.  A perfect match if I’ve ever seen one!  Even though Stephanie has the same roots as me I did not know her until this day and it was a real treat getting to know both her and Jan.  The day was incredibly hot without a cloud to be seen but everyone was a trooper throughout photos and Scott and I had a lot of fun.  The reception for these two was definitely memorable with more laughter and tears than most and the father/daughter dance was simply awesome!  I hope it hits YouTube at some point.  Congrats you two, enjoy your sneak peek.

McDonald’s is number one. Jan & Stephanie did a butterfly release following the ceremony.

The thunderstorms began to roll towards us but we managed to escape without getting hit.

Jan is from Switzerland, hence the combining of flags.

I am thrilled to have witnessed this cake cutting.

And now the best father/daughter dance. ever.

Soon to come: Jan & Stephanie’s Wedding.

I have been away from the blog a long time in part because of our week long vacation in Prince George, B.C.  Here’s a teaser from one of the many soccer games all the boys played.  I believe this match was Bapa vs. Grandsons.

Here is the full post from my session with Shannon in her red dress.  Wyatt made a guest appearance for a few shots

I saw this on flickr from someone’s photostream and simply had to share it.  Maybe I’m the last photographer to ever see it but I thought it captured the growth for so many of us.  The line of “How good we think we are” I think all of us relate to the best.  For reference the photostream I found this on was http://www.flickr.com/photos/38552130@N04/ or erintolephotography.

I had the great privilege last week to meet another perfect newborn, this time a baby boy.  He was so good even though he fought off sleep for most of the session and likely gained a pound or two with all the milk he drank!  Regardless, it was worth the wait since he was like putty once he was out.  A big thanks to his momma for the great afternoon, it was great getting to know you!

Shannon was the luckiest girl when Daddy treated her to a new red dress from Gymboree last week.  Shannon has no shortage of pretty dresses but this one simply suited her to a tee.  Today was a rather crumby day weather wise and so I took advantage of the opportunity to photograph Shannon all dolled up.  Here are just a couple samples, there will be more to come.

The day of Shaun & Teresa’s wedding was pretty much idyllic with blue skies, no wind to speak of, and temperatures in the low 20s.  Scott and I had the privilege of photographing the ceremony at the Wedding Pavillion which was an absolute treat!  We had the entire afternoon for shooting formals and so we hit up a few different locations after grabbing a bite at Peter’s Drive-In.  We had lots of fun with the wedding party and really enjoyed the day.  Thanks for including us in your big day and all the best to you, S & T!

Mike & Candice’s wedding was an absolute blast for my assistant Mindy and I with a really fun wedding party and some neat locations.  The bride and groom had us both laughing all day!  The ceremony was in Nose Creek Park in Airdrie after which we made our way out to Madden stopping at various locations along the way.  We had so much time in between ceremony and reception that I shot so much I was getting nervous about having enough memory.  Fortunately it didn’t become an issue and I had the pleasure of having more photos to choose from than ever before.  This will officially be my longest blog post.  Thanks for the great day guys and congratulations!

Love this moment that Mindy captured.

Who says only girls go to the washroom in groups?

No wedding is complete without a line dance.
