Saskatoon Photography-Nicole & Jayesh Engagement

Posted in shoots by Hemant Naidu on July 29, 2010

Jayesh surprised Nicole with a trip to Paris this past April. What makes this story even more awesome is that she didn’t know where they were heading until they were at the airport in Toronto. And to top it all off Jayesh asked her to be his wife on top of the Eiffel Tower.

When I had the chance to photograph this gorgeous couple for their engagement photos I jumped at the opportunity. Working with these two was a blast, and as you can see they look pretty comfortable in front of the camera. We visited various locations around downtown Saskatoon, and even got to incorporate Jayesh’s old school Austin Mini into a couple of shots. Getting a ride in it was pretty cool too.

Here are some of my favourite photographs from that evening. Be sure to watch the high definition slideshow at the end to get a look at even more of the night. Enjoy.

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.

Saskatoon Photography-Kelly & Byron Engagement

Posted in shoots by Hemant Naidu on July 19, 2010

Kelly and Byron met four years ago while both working for the Saskatoon Health Region. Three years later Byron started thinking about asking Kelly to be his wife and tried to come up with an awesome way to propose. Since they go on a trip to see a sporting event in Edmonton each year, Byron thought he had the ultimate plan – have the words, “Will you marry me, Kelly?” up on the big screen. Unfortunately the engagement ring wasn’t ready in time, and maybe for the better since Kelly wasn’t too sure how she would have liked all of that attention in the stadium.

Instead Byron planned an intimate and romantic proposal in their home this past March, and Kelly accepted. I had the pleasure to meet this incredible couple shortly after their engagement to talk about their upcoming wedding. The two of them loved the idea of getting in front of the camera for an engagement shoot, so we scheduled something for the summer.

Here are some of my favourite photographs from that evening in Saskatoon. Before we started I asked the two of them if they had anything specific in mind for the shoot. Kelly’s only request was, “that I make her look good.” As you can see, she made my job pretty easy. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding this fall.

We weren’t sure if we were going to get rained out Saturday night in Saskatoon so Kelly, Byron and I crossed our fingers for the entire day. Luckily we did because we ended up getting an awesome evening for their engagement photo shoot. Here’s a teaser to give you an idea of how great the two of them looked. Stay tuned for their full engagement set coming soon. Enjoy.
