Weddings
It was a chilly winter day, but Caitlin and Jeff kept things hot. We made our rounds starting at The Alt Hotel, Peg Beer Co, The Kingshead Pub and then back to Peg Beer Co for the evening ceremony and reception. We had a great time with them, and other familiar faces at the wedding. I've known Jeff for quite a few years now, so it was an honor to be shooting their wedding.
Enjoy!
So on a scale of 1-10 for unique weddings I've shot over the years this one is 12 out of 10. I'll start by mentioning that I've known Ash for more years than I can think of. I still remember one of the first times we met, and it involved one of my favorite food groups (Chicken wings, Ash when you read this maybe we can plan to go for wings soon!) We've been through it all together over the years, so it was definitely an honor to be asked to shoot their wedding.
From the skulls, pumpkins, horror movie table numbers, and more you'll get a pretty good idea of the things that Liz and Ash are into. Ash had a green suit (Super rad in my books!) and Liz had a custom made Lennard Taylor Wedding dress. There was plenty of details, that wild cake!, vows written on a roll of toilet paper, and some thoughtful tributes to those that couldn't be present.
Liz and Ash, thank you both for having me capture your wedding day for you!
It was a cool and breezy October day for Gail and Kevin's wedding. We started off with their first look on the Esplanade Riel Footbridge and followed it up with some photo's around the Forks, and in front of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. They had their wedding ceremony inside the Museum and held the reception at the Inn at the Forks. Gail and Kevin started the party off with one hell of a fancy and fun dance. It really set the pace for the rest of the evening.
Enjoy!
Believe it or not, but we shot 2 weddings in 2 days at the Viscount Gort. Crazy right.
Oksana and Tyler had their ceremony in one of the most beautiful church's I've been in, it was amazing! (You'll see below) We spent some time doing photo's around the Exchange, and then switched things up and did some at the Leo Mol Gardens in Assiniboine Park. Wrapped up the evening at the Viscount Gort for a fun and entertaining reception.
Enjoy!
Back in October we spent a wonderful day with Ritzel and Ramil for their wedding. Weather was excellent, wedding party was a blast! (Had a lot of fun with everyone), we all managed to sneak a mcdonalds lunch break into the day! The details at the reception at the Viscount Gort were perfect! We even made our way to the same roof top that we did some of their engagement photo's on!
Enjoy!
I spent a perfect fall day with Coral and Matt and their family and friends for their beautiful wedding out at Ashgrove Acres. Lots of fun and laughs were had! They even had a bruschetta bar, which I very much enjoyed! The sunset sure didn't disappoint either, always love when a couple is willing to sneak away from the wedding for 10-15 mins to get some sunset shots and spend a few minutes alone together.
Enjoy!
We knew from the first time we met with Erica and Ashley that their wedding was going to be a good time. They are such a fun easy going couple! It was such a stress free day filled with lots of good laughs. We Checked out some spots in the exchange, made a stop at Peg Beer Co for a drink and some photo's. The celebration was held at the Radisson in Downtown Winnipeg.

Meredith and Krzystof had an intimate morning wedding followed up with brunch with their family and close friends. The day was so lovely, from Merediths yellow dress, to the special guest appearance of an owl, and all of the bird details. Not to mention their heartfelt vows. These two were so easy to capture and I could have photographed them all day!
Thank you for including me in your special day.

Day 2 of 3 in Iceland!
Mikaila and Will were actually the first couple to book us for their elopement in Iceland.
It was an early morning getting up, to make the drive from Reykjavik to Budir. (I think we were awake around 5am) Once on the road we made our first stop of the day at a gas station to grab breakfast, yes we had those delicious gas station hot dogs for breakfast!
The drive was stunning, as it seems to be every where you go in Iceland. As we got close to Hotel Budir, we stopped to take some of the sites in for a bit. We are talking multiple waterfalls off the side of a mountain, in someones backyard, kinda sights! AMAZING!
We stepped into Hotel Budir and wow, what a beautiful place. So much character and charm in there.
Mikaila and Will were getting ready in the same room, which was pretty sweet, as Mikaila helped Will get suited up, and all the feels started happening. Once he was ready, he left the room so Mikaila could get her dress on, and we could do a nice first look with them.
With the first look out of the way, we walked over to the iconic Black Church. We've seen pictures of this place so many times on instagram but actually seeing it in person was something else!
The ceremony consisted of Amanda and I, Mikaila and Will, and the officiant, as well as a few tourists eyes peering in through the windows.
We wandered around the grounds nearby, walked down by the ocean, had some laughs at the cute dogs from the hotel and then made our way on our adventure for the day.
We actually took a wrong turn when we left and ended up at Kirkjufell first, which was supposed to be our last spot for the day. No big deal. We did get to take some crazy roads through the mountains to get there.
Just like the day before, we'd drive and find spots to shoot, however this time we weren't in the rain, and it was actually quite warm which was a nice little change.
We even made our way up the side of an old volcanic crater for some pretty ridiculously awesome photo's. From there we went to Hellnar and Arnarstapi for some more photo's and ended up back at Hotel Budir to drop them off so they could enjoy the rest of their wedding day with each other.
We can't thank Mikaila and Will enough for giving us the opportunity to get to Iceland and capture their secret elopement. This was an experience we will remember forever!
Mikaila and Will wrote a little testimonial for us too that we thought we would share.
We are so, so happy we chose Corey and Amanda to be a part of our Icelandic elopement. They did so much more than capture the special day -- they added to the experience with their energy, spontaneity, and talent. Several times we stopped for unique shooting opportunities, including to hike to the top of a volcano! They put as at such ease during the shooting process with their tone in direction, and professionalism. (Professionalism -- which was complimented by a sense of playfulness and attention to even the smallest of details.) Every photo from our day affirms that we couldn't have made a better selection in who should take them!
Corey & Amanda -- Thank you for delivering breathtaking photos that preserve not only the beauty of the places we went, but the emotion we felt and will cherish forever. We are so appreciative of the care and time you took to ensure such an authentic and stunning series of images for us to remember our first moments together as husband and wife.
And then followed up with this after receiving their photos!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I am speechless. I had high expectations for these to begin with, but you've managed to healthily exceed them! These are phenomenal. So truly representative of the day and as someone who ordinarily hates photos of herself, I haven't found one that I dislike from this lot. I have to underscore my gratitude now. We are already picking out those we'd like to frame. (The one's atop the volcano -- holy crap!) Arnastapi's colouring is seriously beautiful too. I could go on and on about every single one of these! The first look one's in the hotel lobby-- my god! If anyone I know announces an engagement, I'll be making a speedy recommendation for who should photograph their wedding.
Sorry for the long read, but now its time to enjoy the photos!

Melissa and Aaron had a beautiful ceremony in the Leo Mol gardens in Assiniboine Park. There was a bit of rain scattered through the day but it didn't bother us any. We made the best of it and had a lot of fun, it was also a great excuse to stop in at The Kings Head Pub for a couple drinks. We wrapped the night up at the Victoria Inn for their reception.
-Enjoy
