cory & brenda's wedding - calgary, AB || vancouver wedding photographer, destination photographer

this blog post is a study in efficiency and awesome.

why?

efficiency because i dont have my computer but i told my lovely couple that they would see photos up on the blog in a couple days. and because my computer is at the mac station, the only option i had was to go thru them on a trial version of lightroom on hubbie's laptop.

awesome because, well, i think they are awesome, and because of my efficiency on hubbie's laptop, there was basically not a whole lot of post processing. i am a little hesitant to put photos up on the blog that i would LIKE to do a bit of post processing to, but then i remember a convo i had with M & E one time about shooting without "photoshopping or postprocessing". so here it is.. "tracey heppner: unplugged" ;)

brenda and cory were amazing..so sweet together..so in love.

the yellow dresses and her yellow shoes with yellow flowers - so cheerful and instantly put smiles on your face! the flowergirl was a gem..the details were gorgeous.. ya..it was grand.. :)

they had their wedding ceremony at a church in calgary. from there we played downtown. i had the great mike wachniak with me second shooting (yay www.vancouverphotogs.com for bringing that one together!) and we rocked it! after a couple hours the bridal party and i headed out of town an hour or so to the reception hall out in farm country, cremona. GORGEOUS is all i have to say about that.

it was an amazing day and i'm so blessed to have been a part of it.

brenda and cory...you guys are the best..thank you for inviting me out to calgary to capture your incredible day. here are a few shots from the day til i get the rest to you. :) xoxo

UPDATE: i have now post edited the wedding photos for blog..there's not a LOT of difference..but enough that i feel good with them up here.. enjoy!

the sunshine coast

one of the great things about my job as a photographer is that i get to visit some of the greatest places! some of the places that i can thank my job for taking me to are: whistler, montreal, germany, italy, hong kong, philippines, portland, switzerland, calgary, saskatchewan, the okanagan to name a few.

this last weekend i was second shooting for erin gilmore up the sunshine coast at rockwater secret cove resort.

i had never been to the sunshine coast, and let me tell you..it won't be my last time! and to think i have a sweet great aunt who lives in gibsons! she did invite me out this summer, so i will DEFINITELY take the kiddies and lover!!

the lifestyle is so incredibly "CHILL". it's awesome. and the scenery absolutely breathtaking.

here are my photos from the roadtrip side of it...enjoy. ;)



ferry odds & ends..




only on the sunshine coasts do you find random chairs at bus stops. we asked a local gent about them, and he said "ya, we donate them to the bus stops so people have somewhere to sit. in fact my wife took one of our old chairs to one last week!" so cool!


first stop - the quaint little township of gibsons...where the old tv series "the beachcombers" was filmed..









we ate lunch at this great little greek place..our drinks were scrumptious and our food..so good. we were burpin' it for hours.. ;)





here and there in molly's lane..






eat your heart out easy-park vancouver


and onto sechelt..



lil' ms GI JANE..


speaking of GI JANE..she got two flat tires..yep, same side..weeeeeeeeeeird. luckily wonderful gent "jack" came to our rescue and drove us to tire shop and then back to rockwater friday night..



it suits her, no? :)


only in a small town..i told erin that i bet it went something like this, the next day: "ya we were hardcore last night, we painted the street..ha ha.. ya best night EVER." :)


the CUTEST little "franchise" of coffee shops on the sunshine coast..


LOVE LOVE LOVE this quote..
