Hey Chrissy and Ryan, I love candy!

There's is a satisfying moment as a photographer that I am experiencing more and more often now. It's takes place after the dust from the shoot has settled, the editing is completed, and you are about to upload the finished product. It is a moment when you can sit back relax for minute and realize that what you are looking at will be part of peoples lives for a long, long time.

Two posts in one week so far! This is epic for me in my career. But I can't get carried away yet; there is such a thing over blogging.

Chrissy and Ryan's wedding was sweet. Figuratively and literally. First mother nature was absolutely on our side. Clouds flirted above the entire afternoon, but not one drop of rain, NOT ONE. We had a great shoot. Then at the reception, came the candy. Yum! Nothing like filling up on the good stuff. I'm surprised my teeth didn't hurt afterwards.

A great couple to work with, and a fun, fun wedding party, left no dull a moment. Thats what makes for some great images, always.

Tina and Jim's Wedding in T'cona

The weather has been pretty sad as of late, although I can say that my brides have been fortunate to not have the wet stuff too much. It seems it rains, pours sometimes, en route to wherever it is we are heading, and then BOOM, it goes away as soon as we get to our destination, and it's time to shoot!

Tina and Jim were a referral of mine through a previous bride. They are a fun, relaxed, go-with-the-flow kind of couple and totally great to work with.

We were back in my ol' stompin' grounds of Transcona for the ceremony and reception which were held at the Transcona Country Club. Great place for getting all the services for both the ceremony and reception (and a great buffet too).

It was one of our few nice warm days of the summer, and it was a great day for a wedding, especially for their little one. Here are a few of my favs:

Lightning Ain't Going to Strike Twice

Last night we had a wicked lightning show put on for us right in our own backyard. I had never tried shooting lightning before so I figured I'd give 'er a try.

So I set my shutter speed nice and slow, and using my tripod, I got patient and just took shot after shot. Low and behold, here is the finished piece. It is a corralation of about 5 or 7 shots put together and tweaked for awesomeness. Check it out:

Hangin' Out With Lesley & Kevin

The summer is going by so fast, but at least I have time during the great weather we are having to enjoy it a little bit. I'm going to admit that the completed work is stacking up a little bit, and there will be a few more posts coming in the very near future. Are you excited?!?!

A few weeks ago I spent a couple of mid-summer evening hours, hanging out in good ol' St. James for some engagement fun with Lesley and Kevin. They were the perfect couple for a relaxing, no pressure shoot like this. There wedding is next month and it definitely got us all comfortable with each other so that it's all cakes and jelly beans on their big day.

Thanks so much Lesley and Kev and can't wait for your wedding next month!
