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.

Note: for the best quality make sure HD is set to on along the right side of the video player. Scaling should be set to off.

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

Posted in couples photography, lifestyle photography, maternity photography, shoots by Hemant Naidu on March 14, 2011

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.

I had the very unique opportunity to photograph Nicole and Jayesh’s engagement ceremony at the Hindu temple in Saskatoon. The event was filled with tradition, vibrant colours, and lots of food. Here’s one preview image of the ceremony, but stay tuned for a full blog post to arrive shortly.
