This past weekend I was so excited to go back home and shoot Trevor and Kayla's wedding.  I have definitely had some home sick days since we moved, so going home to shoot a wedding, was just what the doctor ordered, lol.  Seriously it was such a great day.  The Hauser and Churko families are both so awesome and so it just made things so easy.  There are so many images to choose from so I probably went overboard on this post.  Oh well.  Thanks Trevor, Kayla, family and friends for all the fun.  I hope you get harvest finished quickly so you can look forward to that honeymoon.  Congrats!!

This past weekend I got to shoot a wedding that I have been waiting a long time to shoot.  Probably since my nephew Michael first introduced us to Jenn years ago.  Our entire family instantly fell for her, right along with Michael lol.  Seriously, we could not have picked a better bride, wife and best friend for Michael and we are absolutely honored to welcome her and her family into ours.  I have another nephew, right Philip ;).  Anyway, this past weekend was perfect.  The weather was great, the day ran smoothly and there were tons of "tears of joy".  I still tear up when I think about it.  So in closing I just want to say congratulations Michael and Jenn.  I know that you have a long and incredibly life ahead and can't wait to see the beautiful babies you guys make....one day :)  Love you both!

Last fall I had the extreme pleasure of shooting the wedding of Mandy and Dave Kozak. They were the most wonderful Bride and Groom and I love every time I run into them. Their wedding has recently been shared on the Wedding Bells website. How exciting. Its entitled "Family Ties". Take a look.

Here's a selection of images from their day.

There is something about a small town wedding.  I know in the city, we are always fortunate to have access to some pretty nice places in case the weather is bad and in our small prairie towns, that isn't always the case.  However, there is still something about a small town wedding.  Maybe its the genuine people that open up their homes and yards to you.  Maybe its how everyone scrambles for keys to schools, heritage buildings and elevators just in case you might need them.  Maybe its how all the guests seem so genuinely thrilled for the newly married couple and applaud at the end of their vows, making them kiss three consecutive times until they were satisfied it was enough.  Maybe its all of the above.  Well this past weekend, I witnessed all of that.  So much laughter and tears that it truly makes your heart swell.  This lovely couple had the whole support of their towns and it was great to see.  We even went to the Kelvington High School, which is where each and every member of the wedding party went to High School.  Some may say that its not the perfect location for wedding photos, but others may realize how perfect it is.  Thank you Jill, Josh, your families and friends for making my day such a great one.  A special thanks to Bob and Linda Taylor for the use of their beautiful back yard during the 45 minutes of "no rain" on Saturday.  And congratulations again Jill and Josh.  You guys are a great couple and I know you have many happy years ahead of you.

Well, another beautiful Saturday and another beautiful wedding.  This one was on a picturesque farm just outside of Yorkton.  The house and grounds were so beautiful. It looked like a post card.  Mom and Dad had been working very hard to make it just right for the wedding and did a fantastic job.  I must say it was a great day.  The bride and the groom, as usual, were awesome.  I must say, I do have the most amazing brides & grooms.  Their wedding party, hysterical.  I seriously laughed so hard all day.  As I say after every shoot, I really do have the best job in the world.  Thank you Jennifer and Jason for including me in your day.  I was honored to shoot your wedding and help out just a little.  Have a wonderful honeymoon and enjoy this small selection of images from your day. :)

Wow, what can I say about this Bride and Groom.  The first thing that's pretty obvious is that they are drop dead gorgeous.  But there's so much more than that.  As I got to know them throughout the day and listened to the tales told by family and friends, I could see there is so much more to them.  Incredibly smart, talented, athletic, loving, shy (sometimes, lol) and truly dedicated to each other and everything they do in life.  Stephen, along with being incredibly handsome and smart is this amazing hockey player, hard working farmer and joker by the sounds of things.  Amber, again, incredibly beautiful, smart and talented as well as the fact that she seems to be able to tackle anything athletically that she tries.  Did I mention she's an Iron Man....or would that be Iron Woman, lol.  Anyway, the two of them, combined with their great friends and family put on a fantastic wedding.  Here are a few images from their day.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
