A & K Married at The Gates.
Congratulations go out to A & K who were married in July at The Gates in Winnipeg. Associate Matthew Sawatzky and I enjoyed an afternoon Wedding with the couple. Always a joy to be in the company of these two individuals with their great sense of humour and bright spirits and smiles! Here are just some of the highlights of the time we shared with them. Beautiful location, an amazing popcorn bar, beautiful outdoor ceremony , a super fun Family…I could go on and on… but I’ll let the images give you more insight to the Afternoon!
FYI-I had posted a Sneak peek of their wedding view those images here!

Kristin and Daryl’s June Wedding
June 16th, Kristin and Daryl’s Wedding Day- and such a beautifully detailed wedding it was!!! Amazing, handcrafted Bride and Bridesmaid’s hangers featuring their names, bride and groom cookie thank-you handouts, engagement photo posters for guests to sign, and a wonderful bright fuchsia colour for the flowers and wedding party dresses and accents-just perfect against the outdoor bright green setting of the Ceremony and the Wedding Party Formals. This brings me to the topic of the weather that day. I don’t know if in all the years I’ve been photographing weddings, that I have ever experienced such a day of crazy weather that seemed to conform to the wishes and plans of a bride. The morning began with rain as the bride and her attendants got ready at the hairdressers, but on cue, the sun broke through the clouds just on time and just long enough to allow for an outdoor ceremony at The Gates. The rain continued just minutes after the ceremony had concluded, but broke once again for the Wedding Party Formals at outdoor venues in Assiniboine Park and Headingly. “Made to order” blue skies, white fluffy clouds and green grass and leaves were perfect setting for this photographer and for this couple -especially with their appreciation of the outdoors!!!
My second photographer on this Wedding was Matthew Sawatzky, an alumni of Prairie View School of Photography. I just love his Camera perspective and editing finesse. Some of the images below are just a few of my favorites captured by him during the day. Please enjoy a slide show of our combined images below! Thanks Kristin and Daryl and Wedding Party for a fun-filled Day!
Gone fishing!
Kristin and Daryl only have a couple more weeks till their Wedding Day in June! Photographer, Matthew Sawatzky, and I got together a couple of weeks back to do an engagement session with them- had an amazing fun time! We started along Waterfront drive and featured their love of fishing, then visited the warehouse district and topped off the evening with a trip to Lockport for some sunset pics. Tons of Laughs, a lure caught in my scarf, a late night supper at Half Moon Restaurant and a few stories to share with friends!
Matthew, an alumni from Prairie View School of Photography will be assisting me as a second shooter with this wedding. I sometimes get asked why I work weddings with a second shooter. Beside the obvious of having back-up photos of the important days events – a second lens, different perspective of the same happening, really adds to the “story ” of the Special Day. For example, above is my image captured (a close up of the couple’s faces enjoying a laugh) and below, Matt’s wider perspective of the entire fishing experience taken at exactly the same moment.
Above and 3 images below some of my fav’s captured by associate Matt.
Below: After the fun session downtown I drove out of the city with the couple to capture a few sunset pics in Lockport ,MB.
Thanks Kristin and Daryl for a wonderful, fun filled, adventurous and story filled engagement session! Matt and I are looking forward to photographing you again on your Wedding Day! Please enjoy a slideshow of a mix of images from Matt and myself of the session.
