Winnipeg Family Photographers - Assiniboine Park - The G Family

There are an infinite number of opportunities. And after I write that, I think about how I could have started that sentence better, or did I? Exactly. 

We have known the G family for a long time. For me, I met Mr. just about 10 years ago when he did my marriage counselling and then hitched Jen and I on that glooooorious day. It's been such a great experience getting to know their family ever since. The G family possesses so many incredible qualities, experiences, and attitudes, that their opportunities are endless. While I look at these photos and reflect at what they're truly saying, I see not only the loving mother, son that must have just grown taller than father, daughter just graduating, and father changing jobs... I see opportunities. I see potential. I see humility and pride. I see laughter and support. I see love. We will be here for you all, and we wish you all the best as you seek boundless opportunities.

Winnipeg Wedding Photographers - Fort Whyte Centre - B & W Engaged

B and W are engaged. And when I think about them being engaged, I think about the epitome of love. It's not that I don't think that about most of the other wonderful couples we meet...but there's something about this couple that screams summer love. We loved getting to know you! And we can't wait for your wedding day.

It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, you all know that a bride is beautiful and elegant on her wedding day. In all shapes and sizes, hair up or down, strapless or not, plunge neckline or a scoop back...to veil or not to veil, these are the questions. Bottom line, she's gorgeous. And she's prepared herself for one of the most special days of her life, and prepared herself for her groom. 

When we meet with couples who are inquiring about our wedding photography, I often tell a story of why I love wedding photography so much. Those who know me understand that I'm generally pretty happy, a glass half full kind of guy... or maybe an overflowing cup all the time kind of guy... but when I get to meet with the guys first thing on the day of the wedding, something special happens. A lot of guys don't get dressed up very often, or at least don't wear a tux or suit often, and when they're with their closest friends celebrating a momentous day together, getting all spiffed up, they are all on top of the world. I love being there for that. I love helping them tie their ties and pin on flowers. "How do these cufflinks work?"... and it doesn't even matter because they're all having so much fun, and I get to be there to photograph these moments. I get to see moms that are nervous because they're still in their housecoat and, "No one is eating these sandwiches!! You're going to be hungry!! Hey, where's the dog?! Has anyone seen where the dog is?! YES the limo is here! Son, you can't wear that belt." These are the best moments. Unforgettable for them, and unforgettable for me. 

M and B's wedding was unforgettable for me. Such an elegant and simple vintage look that was absolutely breathtaking. Every detail was accounted for, and everything went perfectly smooth. A beautiful day, with an equally beautiful couple. Thanks for the memories. 

Winnipeg Family Photographers - Pelican Lake

The term 'the lake' represents many different things to people. For some, it means fishing or kayaking, for others it involves camping and cooking over a fire. When I think of the lake I think of family. Our cabin has always been a place where we can go to get away from the busy things in life and retreat as a family,  spending time together. So, when my sister was home a little while ago and we were thinking of a place to take some family photos, the lake seemed like a perfect choice.
