J and M Tie the Knot :: Brooks Alberta Wedding Photography ::

A blog post you ask? An actual blog post with more than 2 pictures?
It’s here!
My 2nd last wedding of 2009.
I have to say that my last two 2009 weddings were both the coldest events that I have ever photographed.
I may have wondered if I would come out of them with all my fingers in-tact. (Lucky me I did)

J is from Canada and all her bridesmaids were are from Canada, M is from Australia and over half his groomsmen were Australian.
I can’t imagine coming to Canada from Australia and being asked to go outside in -30C in just a suit. They were tough.
However, lets take a quick peek a the girls in knee length dresses outside in -30C. They were extra tough.
I felt very lucky to be a part of J and M’s wedding day and love the images that we managed to snap while running in and out of the house.
Congratulations you two! I hope Australia is Hot and Happy!

I really like this image. This moment is one of my favorites at a ceremony. So much is said in gestures and eye contact.

J was one of the most relaxed, chill, totally ‘go with the flow’ brides I have ever worked with. It was such a treat to follow her around.
Her happiness for the purpose of her day shone through completely. Everything else was extra.

Here we go:  -30C.

We snuck inside The Heritage Inn in Brooks for a few indoor images and to warm up our fingers and toes.

February 2, 2010 - 9:51 am Diane - they're all wonderful, of course, but I too really love that second photo. Great shot! Boy that groom was a great sport, especially since he's from Australia and it was 30 below! I'm looking to be a second shooter and, just my luck, I'd hit one of these 30 below weddings! :~) Super job on these.
