Grassi Lakes Photographer | Jordan & Kristine’s Anniversary Session

Grassi Lakes Photographer

This is my big brother, Jordan, and his lovely wife Kristine! They didn’t have any formal portraits taken when they got married so we decided to do a bit of an anniversary/family session out at Grassi Lakes in Canmore. It was our first time there, and I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that the hike only took 5 minutes, so we decided to pack all the kids in their strollers and make our way. We started out hiking up the “easy” route, for 5, 10, 15 minutes, and every time we reached the top of a hill we thought we were there.

Nope. More like 45 minutes later… this…
