I met Kristin and her mom over coffee at the local Chapters earlier this year. I knew her wedding photography would turn out great based on first impressions, they are really great people and ambassadors for the city of Lethbridge.
With a civil ceremony in council chambers at Lethbridge City Hall and cocktail reception and dance in the atrium, this wedding was a perfect venue for Kristin & Ben to celebrate their union.

We brought a team together second to none; Tanya Plonka provided her usual level of excellence in support shooting while Rod Leland and Brien Gerhing assisted location shoots and the photo booth.

As the reception unfolded, our team setup our new portable photo booth to allow guests to capture the action themselves. The photo booth was a massive hit, with lineups throughout the night waiting to make use of the various props available and receiving immediate 4 x 6 prints on demand.

Kristin & Ben are currently on honeymoon in B.C., but I can’t wait to show them their proofs and themed DVD of their big day.

Ian & Amber, our couple for the day were certianly easy to work with, what a great looking couple! My job was to hang back and capture candids with the long lens (wedding paparazzi) which was a ton of fun. I started the day at St. Pat’s for the ceremony (beautiful setting, lots of stained glass and pale contrasting tones) and then off to Henderson Lake and the Galt Museum for wedding party photos.

This was the first wedding of 2009 for me, and was a great warmup for some of the solo couples I’ve booked through the year. Ian & Amber are off to Thailand for their honeymoon, for a well deserved break.

I hope to work with Tanya again in this capacity, it really was low stress, high quality results.
