When Jen & Jeremy were married, it was a perfect day of fun, sun and celebration!

But first, some history! Jen & Jeremy are highschool sweethearts! The cutest couple ever, and with the most powerful love for eachother. A love that amazes me. Jeremy is enamered with Jen, and Jen will follow him anywhere. When I say anywhere, I really mean it!

That pretty boy face, is the face of a Professional Hockey player! Can you belive it? Look how pretty he is. When I said Jen would follow him anywhere, I meant it. Two weeks after Jen and I first met, she was whisked away to Sweden where Jeremy was drafted to play.

Off to Sweden for a year, which is where Jen planned 95% (possibly more) of her wedding! Sadly, Jeremy was already gone and I didn't get to meet him until the engagment session only a few weeks before the wedding! On a perfect and beautiful sunny morning we went downtown Calgary for thier session. I learned that these two are playful, fun and CRAZY for eachother!

As playful as these two are, you stick them in a corner and let them just "be" and magic happens.

Friends and family did a wonderful job with helping put the entire wedding together. All the details that Jen couldn't take care of from so far away, they took care of. Can you imaging planning a wedding from another country? I am having issues planning mine and I LIVE here!

Day or night, every part of the resort was brilliant, and beautiful for portraits.

Sometimes,however, it was more fun to zoom in and get a little closer to Jen & Jeremy.

The stunning Jen getting ready... She was the calmest bride I have ever photographed. Until I started taking that photograph of her ring, sitting there on her lap... I guess getting that close to anyones lap will make them get a little bit nervous... I am going to have to keep that in mind next time!

Right when we managed to sneak away from everyone just prior to the reception... Aaah Quiet time.

Last shot of the evening, we had a little bit more fun with some of the props from the photo booth. I had so much fun with Jen and Jeremy, thier entire bridal party, and the family! It was a wedding I will not soon forget! Thank you so very much for letting me be a part of your most special day!

Just stumbled upon your site! These photos look beautiful! Very original! I love how soft the wedding pictures look, you don't see that often. Glad that there's a photographer that can do that!
