Lynette and Mark Get Hitched - Cranbrook wedding photographer

Here it is! My Moyie Lake/Eagles Nest Resort Wedding.  I started my day with Lynette, her bridesmaids and her daughters at the Taupe Hair Salon in Cranbrook. And what better Canadian way to start than with some good ol' Tim Horton's coffee's!

Lynette and Mark wanted to do things differently for their wedding and we came up with some good fun ideas for pictures. But it wasn't just the pictures it was the whole wedding, right from the vows you knew it was going to be fun, with such things as " Do you promise not to talk during the 7th game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs?"  This kind of humor was perfect as the two of them are always joking around.  At one point I was waiting to see if the dress was coming off to reveal a Hockey Jersey...

Mark - "When your done could you grab me another beer?"  Lynette - "Yes dear right after you do the dishes"

Mark - "Dammit. who knew there could be so many dishes at the camp ground? Haven't you heard of paper plates?"

Married with Children...

Lynette - "If you do it I swear...!!!"

Baby Shane - Calgary Newborn Photographer

Not so long ago I had the opportunity to shoot Kylie and Darren for their Maternity shoot.  That shoot can be seen here.
After I got home from a surprise trip to Vegas for my 30th birthday (Thanks my wonderful hunny!)
I made sure to get over to Darren and Kylie's house as I knew they had already had their new bundle of joy.

Now Shane was a little older than a 'regular' newborn shoot so I new that he wouldn't be so sleepy all the time.  I knew he would pee on some of my props and I knew that Mom and Dad would stress about him 'not cooperating'.  So as usual I let them know that I just want to capture him as he is and if that means he pees on my stuff or wants to be awake for the shoot that we can handle anything that comes our way!

And he did end up peeing and was awake most of the time but in the end I think it was a very successful shoot and we got enough images to cover the walls of the nursery for sure!

Here are the resulting images from that shoot, Enjoy!

Hot Air Balloon Ride - Calgary Photographer

Last Sunday my wife and I finally had the chance to use my first year wedding gift, which is from 3
years ago.  Jenn had purchased a Sundance Hot Air Balloon ride for us to use, but when we got to our scheduled fly date Jenn was pregnant with our third child, Cameron, and low and behold they don't fly pregnant women.

So we said we would reschedule... when I finally stopped procrastinating and made the reservations they were all booked up and we couldn't fly at the time we wanted to. So there we had to book in for the following year but at least we had a date set!

August 14th came a few short days after we got back from an epic 30th birthday week in Las Vegas (thanks hunny!) and we were off at a ridiculous time in the morning to go flying.

Were we worried? Nah maybe a little.  Were we excited? yes a lot! Was it amazing? HELL YEAH.
Its was a crazy thing just floating around up there checking everything out, a crazy feeling of awesomeness and nervousness that I would love to do all over again.  I highly recommend going on a balloon ride the next time you want to try something different.

And here are bunch of photos after what ends up being a lot of words!

Make sure the fire works!

They use two big fans to inflate the balloon almost all the way...

 Here Dale starts to add the heat!

As Dale adds the heat it stands up and we gotta run and climb on in!

The view right after take off. You can see the van and truck in the lower right.

I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE!  That's the car in the front and the newly shingled roof that looks like it may be two colors...

Langdon and Mead lake.

At one point we were VERY close to landing but changed our minds when we realized it was an 

Alf-alfa Field.  We "dusted" the crop with the bottom of the basket for about 20 feet.

In the end we landed safely and helped pack everything up so we could head to Chestermere.

Once in chestermere we had a Champagne Toast as it is a old French tradition...9:30am and drinking, I think we thought we were back in Vegas!
