R&S Engagement
The spring season has to be my favourite season, it always holds the promise of future possibilities and new beginnings! I have to say, we had the most perfect Spring Day for this couple’s engagement session at BirdsHill Park! The sun was shinning, the sky was blue, and the grass just beginning to to show a hint of green. What a beautiful setting to showcase a perfect Spring Day and of course the love between this couple! Associate Paolo and I enjoyed our early evening time with R & S and their dog Kodi, photographing at various locations around the park and finishing up the day with a wonderful sunset offering up some beautiful colourful light. We loved the playful nature between these two and are looking forward to their early Sept. wedding in Gimli, MB. Please enjoy a few of the images captured that evening! Congratulations go out to R &S on their Engagement!
N & L Fall Engagement in MB
I sat down with N & L a couple of weeks ago, over coffee, to discuss photography plans for their upcoming Wedding in July. Some great ideas were shared and I can honestly say, July in rural Manitoba, a day with these two and their wonderful families, can’t happen soon enough! I was fortunate to spend an afternoon with the couple this past fall at their family farms to capture their engagement photos. The beauty of Manitoba’s fall colours and the charm of some of the settings we photographed at, really show the outdoor splendour this province has to offer! We began the session in cow pastures, followed by an abandoned farmstead, and finished off at a harvested field on a hill, just as the sun was setting and casting some amazing light onto the couple. Here are just a few examples of images we captured that afternoon. Enjoy! Congrats go out to N & L on their engagement!
J & T Engagement
It’s blog 8 of 14 in a row! It’s been hard picking and choosing which sessions to blog but I felt I had to include this one as it has has a bit of a sentimental quality to me since it features a family member! Our niece Talia got engaged to a great guy, Jeremy, this past year and I was honoured to be asked to be the photographer for the Wedding next summer. I could hardly wait to get these two in front of my lens and we decided on a Fall engagement session in The Exchange District.
This past Fall was quite busy for the business and I was thankful for the assistance of talented photographer Colin Vandenberg with second shooting and editing help. Colin was able to join us for the session and I’ve featured a number of his images. Congratulations go out to Talia and Jeremy – wishing you happiness for the future! Happy Planning you two! 🙂

T&T Engagement session
A fall wedding is around the corner for this wonderful couple! Associate photographer, David Lipnowski and I enjoyed a few hours with them a few weekends ago for an engagement session. It was raining so we looked for some shelter to keep the couple dry…hello, perfect location right on their front stairs! (The first few images captured wonderfully by David! ) Then we headed out for some shelter under an overpass close to the couple’s home-I love finding new photography locations! Local artist’s work are featured in the foundation. Please enjoy just a few sneak peeks from the session!

J&A Engagement Session
I thought I had completed my weddings for the year in September and then the week after J&A contacted me. After sitting down and meeting with this couple I was thrilled to be asked to photograph their wedding in late November. It became apparent to me through our planning that this couple loved colour. Talk about timing for a colourful Engagement session outdoors when the leaves are at their most brilliant and the woods a bright palette of oranges, reds and golds! We arranged for an engagement session at Birds Hill Park at the beginning of October and spent a couple of really fun hours at the historic site and in the fields there. Here are just a few of the images captured during our great time together! Stay tuned for wedding images in late November!
A&D Engagement Session
A&D’s wedding date is fast approaching! I have to say -we hit it off when we met for the first time -and I was thrilled when they chose to have me photograph their special day! A couple of weeks ago, we met at a park for a morning engagement session. Spring is such a beautiful promise of things to come -The leaves at the park where we photographed were just starting to bud, the grass was a bright carpet of green and the sky a gorgeous shade of blue. This couple’s love for each other just so evident in the way they laughed and smiled at each other-such a pleasure to capture that! I’m sooooo looking forward to spending the wedding day with them! Congrats D&A!!
K&A -The Exchange Engagement Session
About a month ago, associate Matthew Sawatzky and I met up with K&A in the Exchange District for their Engagement session. We had the best time and I think we laughed for the entire hour while photographing and then sat down at a local cafe to iron out the photography details of their summer wedding. I can most definitely say this couple has no trouble taking direction and if anything put a 150% into what I asked them to do. At one point we had a blast as I asked them to run into an empty street, strike a pose and then run back out repeatable times to see what they would do! LOL!!! I had to show you some of the results below- I think K most definitely got his work out that evening!! Please enjoy just a few of the images we were able to capture around Winnipeg’s downtown Exchange District that evening!
My fav. shot from Matthew in the image above! We are so looking forward to spending your wedding day with you A&K! Congrats!!!
M&M Engagement
It was on a slightly chilly day in Feb that associate Matthew Sawatzky and I met with this wonderful couple for their engagement session at the Forks. -10C is not bad considering the temp. we reach on average during the winter here in Winnipeg! We had some fun posing indoors at the terminals and then continued the session -taking to the warming hut out doors. The couple laced up their skates and spend some time on the scenic river path. Planning for a late in the day session had its advantages in that we were able to catch the sun going down in some of our images. The sun turned out to be a nice twist to the day as it had been cloudy up until that time! Please enjoy some of the images we were able to capture! Thanks M&M for a great afternoon-Looking forward to spending your wedding day with you!

Ruth is Engaged!
Yeah!!!! About 2 months back I got the exciting news that my cousin Ruth was engaged!!! I had met her “special man” over the past couple of years at the annual Christmas family gatherings. In between stuffing myself with Aunt Elsa’s torte and Tante Anna’s amazing Broccoli salad, I was introduced to him and had a chance to observe the couples interaction with each other and the family. He seemed to be a natural fit with the cousins and the rest of the family and I saw “the spark” and I thought to myself, “yep -just a matter of time.”
I had a chance to meet with the couple and was thrilled when they asked if I could do some Engagement picture for them. They chose a great wilderness site complete with railway tracks, close to his home, and the beautiful, historic, St. Boniface Cathedral. Good luck to the happy couple and happy planning with the marriage details!
Amanda and Dave Engagement Sneak peek!
This past Saturday, I spent a beautiful sunny morning with associate Paolo at Birds Hill Park at an engagement session, photographing this amazing couple, Amanda and Dave. This engagement session held a little bit more of a special meaning to me, as Amanda, way back when, was my flower girl at my wedding. Yes, she has definitely has grown up and found herself a great guy! The couple found a great location that offered various romantic “backdrops” perfect for the Engagement session! The textures of wood, trees, shingles and equipment found on the location, has also been perfect for finishing the images with various editing techniques. I’m about 2/3 rds of the way through editing but I so happy with the results I just had to share a sneak peek of the images! Dave and Amanda, It was so great spending time getting to know you better! Paolo and I are so looking forward to spending your wedding day with you in May! Happy planning, oh and by the way, I hope to have your proofing link up for you soon!
