Stormy & Patrick’s Saskatoon Wedding
Whenever I think of Stormy and Patrick I will always remember how much they laughed. During their engagement shoot this past July I’m not sure there was a moment that these two weren’t laughing. This gave me a pretty good idea of what their wedding day was going to be like. They just wanted their wedding to be a party for their family and friends. Patrick at one moment told their wedding coordinators that they, “were turning his party into a wedding.” That made me smile.
Their ceremony was at the Red Barn at the Willows Golf & Country Club in Saskatoon, and the weather couldn’t have been better. The sun was shining brightly as they took their vows. Right after the ceremony the wedding party and I took off to make some photographs in a couple of different locations in the city.
Before we knew it we were out of time and made our way back to the Willows for dinner, and the remainder of the party. Here’s what their wedding day looked like. Also be sure to check out their high definition slideshow.

A Frame from Stormy & Patrick’s Saskatoon Wedding
One of many touching moments from Stormy and Patrick’s wedding this past weekend. Stay tuned for their full wedding story.
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.

Kelly & Byron are Married
When I met Kelly and Byron in April I knew that I wanted to shoot their wedding. After only chatting with them for about thirty minutes I knew that they were genuinely nice people who truly loved each other. I got to know them a little better that summer when we spent an evening creating some awesome engagement photos. Even though their wedding was still a few months away the three of us knew that time would fly by, and the big day would be upon us.
As October 9th approached the unpredictable Saskatchewan weather kept everybody guessing. A couple hot days here, and a few chilly days there. Fortunately for the wedding day the weather was fabulous. Even though everything was looking like it was going to perfect there was one thing that was making me nervous. It had nothing to actually do with the wedding, but had everything to do with my personal life. If you follow me on any social network you know that my wife and I recently had a baby – a baby that was due on October 9th. I knew the chance of the baby actually arriving on this day was slim, and the fact that I was only covering about three hours of the wedding day made it even slimmer. It didn’t matter. I was still nervous.
I was scheduled to arrive at the University of Saskatchewan Faculty Club in Saskatoon about an hour before the ceremony to capture some shots of the bride and groom. I felt a lot calmer knowing that my wife hadn’t yet gone into labour when I left the house. At that point I was pretty confident that it was not going to be that day, allowing me to just focus on the wedding.
About seventy guests came to see Kelly and Byron tie the knot. The ceremony went exactly as planned and before we knew it they were married. Right after the ceremony the three of us went out around the university to capture some of the first photographs of them as man and wife. Even though we only had an hour to get the shots we wanted we didn’t feel rushed at all. We all just relaxed and had a good time together creating some photographs to document their first day as a married couple.
Here are some of my favourite photos from the the day. Be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images from the wedding.
