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.

Rene, Clint, Sadie, and Tucker

Clint contacted me a couple of months ago telling me that he and his wife Rene were interested in having some photos taken of themselves, and their two dogs. We scheduled the shoot for a nice autumn evening at a park in Saskatoon hoping to capture some of the splendid colours that come with the season.

I don’t regularly shoot animals so I knew it would be a fun exercise to photograph Sadie and Tucker. The park we were at is home to a Frisbee golf course which brought on an unexpected challenge – the dogs were more interested in chasing the Frisbees than posing for photos. Clint and Rene however were able to distract Sadie and Tucker long enough so that I could get some great photos of the two of them.

After giving all of our attention to the two dogs it was now time to focus on Clint and Rene. They were married just over a year ago so this was almost like a celebration of their one year anniversary. We were so lucky to get a gorgeous evening in the middle of October knowing full well that we could have been dealing with a Saskatchewan snowstorm at this time of year.

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 the two of them.
