Russ and Sheri,

Inglewood is a great area of Calgary to do portraits, there is just a variety of locations – old barns, churches, parks, antique stores, that make great backgrounds for portraits.

It has been a while since I met with Karen and Jon at Princess Island for their engagement photos, at that time they had not yet made decisions on all of the wedding details.   I am curious about so many details I think I will have to arrange lunch in the next couple of weeks, so I can hear all about their plans and expectations for the day!  I need to get the names of those in their wedding party, and all the family names, as well as find out how many family portraits we need to make time for.  There are so many details that are important to know about before the big day, I think lunch is definitely due!


Jon and Karen

Karen and Jon had some many pictures that turned out great.  I owe them a big thank you for their patience, almost done.


Karen and Jon, engaged and soon to be married

 

It was really nice to spend time with Karen and Jon, get to know them a little better. They are excited about the wedding. Karen and I were talking about how much there is to do when planning a wedding.  Thing to think about, people to talk to and co-ordinate, so many people and things to consider. Then I gave her one more………….

I asked her to think about how much time we would have between the wedding ceremony and the reception, and what order we should do the formal group/family and portrait shots, and of course the stickiest question, who is in what group, how many groups, and (my favorite) who in the family or wedding party can she give a list to, that will help me keep track of the groups and get them organized.  Just something else to think about and talk to her family about.

I will meet Karen and Jon at the rehearsal, this is where I hope to meet everyone, and we are hoping to check out the locations for portraits before the reception.

Karen and Jon take a break at Princess Island Park, and enjoy the view of downtown Calgary.  I have been experimenting with different Photoshop actions and different combinations of actions.  I like the partially desaturated image.

Karen times two at Eau Clair Market

In Eau Clair Market there is a storefront that is a great place for taking pictures, and I love this image of Karen leaning against the window.  I tried to get a photo of Karen and Jon together, but I just couldn’t make it work.  Read the rest of this entry »


Karen & Jon, Princess Island Park May 15, 2011

 

The week has been so busy, it seems that time goes by so fast I can hardly keep up somedays. The list of things to do gets longer with each task I tick off as done! But on Sunday I was able to spend some time at Princess Island Park, downtown Calgary with Karen and Jon.  It was great to spend some time with them again, explore the park and find some great places for the photos. 

I will be posting more photos as the days go by, and tell you a little bit more about Karen and Jon and about some of the great spots located on the island known as Princes Island Park.  Here Jon and Karen found a quiet place among the trees, it would make a great picnic spot in the summer.

Yes Karen and Jon I am finally finished editing all your photos! you can see more of those images – but not all of them on my flicker site.  We need to find time to meet so we can go over all the photos together.


Karen and Jon

I am back working on Karen and Jon’s pictures, and there are so many great photos that I think I may never be done……

Honest Karen I will be done shortly.
