Christa & Luke are Engaged
Christa and Luke are getting married this summer in Melfort, Saskatchewan and they contacted me because they were interested in having some engagement photos made. We were getting close to Spring so I was hoping that we would be able to make it my first outdoor shoot of the season. But if you know anything about Saskatchewan winters, it rarely cooperates. This time was no exception.
Since we weren’t about to let a little cold weather get in the way of us having a good time, we found a handful of great locations around the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon to shoot. Making use of the many large windows around campus, there was plenty of soft natural light for us to have fun with.
The two of them were hoping to get a few shots downtown along the river since that was where Luke proposed to Christa, so we wrapped up at the University and decided to brave the frigid temperatures. I’m glad we decided to make the effort because now they have some photographs that they really had their heart set on getting.
Here are some of my favourite photographs from the afternoon, and be sure to also check out their high definition slideshow.

Christa & Luke Engagement Teaser
Christa and Luke are getting married this summer so we got together this past weekend to capture some engagement photos. It was one of the last cold days of the winter, but that didn’t stop us from finding some great locations in Saskatoon to showcase this gorgeous couple. Here’s a photograph I made to give you a preview of what’s to come. Check back soon for the full spread.
Rachel and Jeffrey
Rachel and Jeff live in Montreal. The last time they were in Saskatoon was this past fall and they were expecting their first child. Rachel wanted to capture this moment in their life, but didn’t want maternity photos. She just wanted to have some photographs made of her and Jeffrey just having fun.
A nice park by the river seemed like a good place to spend some time with them. It was late in the day and the sun was low in the sky creating a nice warm light. It took a little while for Rachel to get over her case of the giggles, but they did make for some great photos. I was able to also get some nice romantic shots of them as well.
A few months later Rachel and Jeffrey welcomed their daughter Ginny into the world, and hopefully I will get the opportunity to get the three of them together for some photos. Here are some of my favourite photographs from the evening, and be sure to also check out their high definition slideshow.

Mandy & Kevin
Mandy and Kevin have been married for five years. It was not their anniversary, or any other special occasion, but the idea of having some photos taken of themselves having a great time seemed like a good idea. The three of us managed to find an evening this past summer (where it was not raining) to spend some time in downtown Saskatoon and take some fun shots.
It may not have been raining that night, but it had most definitely rained the day before. I remember that evening being particularly more humid than Saskatoon usually gets which created a very hazy sky. And with that rain came an army of mosquitoes that swarmed us when we made our way to the river bank. Between all of the swatting of mosquitoes, and scratching of new bites, I was able to get some awesome shots of Mandy and Kevin. The two of them were absolute troopers amongst the crazy mosquitoes.
We probably could have shot a little longer, but in the end the mosquitoes won the battle. Here are some of my favourite photos from the shoot. Be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images of this great husband and wife.
