Nearly 10 years ago I boarded a plane to small island off the coast of Vietnam to shoot my first ever engagement shoot - 3 days with on a paradise island with a fun and beautiful couple. I don't know how I got so lucky to start my career off with such a perfect scenario. To this day I am still grateful to Anh & Hien for trusting in my skills at such an early stage, and granting me the opportunity to spend that time with them
I can always count each set of wedding rings being as unique as the couples I am photographing.
There is a relationship between all things, even between carrots and guitars. I saw them come together at Sarah & Ben's wedding, which took place at Ben's family's farm.
When I first met Sarah & Ben, they said they wanted to have a wholesome, family style wedding - more of a coming together of people rather than a formal event. I would say they achieved it. The food for the wedding came either directly from the farm's own garden, or locally from within the area, all of which was lovingly prepared by the staff from The Stockmen's Chophouse. The tables were designed and handcrafted by Ben himself. The music came by family and friends. And the smiles and laughter came from everyone. In the end it had the feel of warm summer family dinner.
It was so great to be back in Alberta for this event. I've been to weddings before that ended in fireworks, but this one ended in a marvellous display of northern lights; a beautiful way to finish off the day.
