Winter Mountain Engagement Photos

“How often I wonder if you are thinking of me at the exact moment I am thinking of you.”  -Tyler Knott Gregson

Once upon a time in Egypt, a boy named George was out for a ride with his family when their car broke down on the side of the road. Waiting for help, another family with a young daughter, Youstina, was driving by and noticed their need for help. The two families got to talking and started up a friendship. They would gather together and the children would play while the grownups ate and talked.

A few years later, both families would move to North America, George’s to Calgary, and Youstina’s to California. Wanting to maintain their friendship despite the distance, the families made plans every so often to visit one another’s homes. And on one of these trips, sparks would fly, and the rest is history!

George proposed on a hike in the mountains, so during a visit to the great white north we got together and photographed their engagement session in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. This California girl braved the cold of our long winter and these two couldn’t contain their joy and love for one another.

Fairmont Banff Springs Wedding Photographer

“In all the world there is no heart for me like yours.

In all the world there is no love for you like mine.”

-Maya Angelou

One of my favourite winter activities is driving out to Banff on a crisp, clear day. It feels as though you can see beyond forever as the mountains are visible as soon as you’re heading out of the city. Andrew and Courtney chose to get married at the castle in the mountains, aka the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Travelling all the way from England, they brought lots of family and friends with them to witness this spectacular place and their lifelong promise to one another.

The sun was bright and the day was cold. After an intimate first look above Mount Stephens Hall, Courtney bundled up in a cute Hudsons Bay wool coat and met her groom at Tunnel Mountain Meadow. They said their I Do’s in front of a majestic mountain landscape. We braved the cold for portraits in the snow and the bridal party even got to roast some marshmallows. They had fun, even if they burned all the marshmallows (apparently that’s not something Brits do often?)

With everyone gathered in Fairmont’s Ivor Petrak Hall, the newlywed couple made their entrance and spent the evening celebrating with good food, drinks, and dancing.

Andrew & Courtney – thank you so much for allowing me to spend such an amazing day with you and your families. I wish you so much love and joy in your new life together. Much love, Carlin

Happy Mother’s Day! There is nothing more fitting on this day than a sweet session of Kelly & Ryan’s newest baby girl, Seraphina. This beautiful girl is so loved by her parents and her big sisters, Evie and Anna.

Thanks so much for allowing me to capture these first precious moments of your growing family!

The Commons Calgary Wedding Photographer

Keri-Anne & Gui were married just over a year ago in Gui’s homeland of Brazil. Many of their friends and family weren’t able to join them at their wedding, so they decided to have another one!

On a VERY cold February day, these two got all dressed up again and got to re-live their most amazing day and create new memories with their Canadian friends and family. We first met up at St Patricks Island, where Gui saw Keri in her dress for the first time. We intermittently took photos in between warm-up sessions and the smiles never left either of their faces.

We made our way over to The Commons, where everyone was busy setting up the most beautiful, industrial-chic style reception complete with letter balloons, brick walls and chandeliers. Guests were seated at tables numbered by trivia answers, and Keri-Anne was escorted hand-in-hand by her dad. The bride and groom vowed their lives and love to one another for a second time, with a deeper understanding of what that love demands.

Keri’s brother sang “I Lava You” from Pixar’s short film, which was the perfect, sweetly romantic soundtrack to this amazing day.

“You’re here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava”

Downtown Calgary Engagement Photos 

“I fell in love with a world through her eyes.”
-Atticus

Sam & Corey’s Downtown Calgary Engagement Photos were so much fun! We met on a balmy December afternoon and joined the rest of the city that had decided to skate at Olympic Plaza. These two played hockey together early in their relationship, so it was fun to photograph that part of their love story!
