Sunday was a great spring day for a walk in Princess Island Park. We had an umbrella on hand just in case it decided to rain, and while it was a little windy, there was no rain. We decided to take the umbrella out of the bag to do a few photos anyway, it added that hit of color we needed. It won’t be long before the grass is green, and the flowers are blooming.
This photo taken in early spring is almost monochromatic except for the bright red umbrella. I think a good use of color to draw attention to the subject.

Pedestrian Bridge, Princess Island to downtown Calgary

This is a quiet little pedestrian bridge on the east side of Princess Island Park, that it seems, very few people know about. Princess Island park is linked to Eau Claire and downtown Calgary with three bridges. There is currently one bridge connecting Princess Island to Calgary’s northwest communities and Memorial Drive, but that is soon to change.
It was a great fall morning, water was still and the clouds were perfect! You know that when your day starts like this it is going to be a good day.

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!

Kelly and Mark, and I were down at Princess Island Park, about 10 days ago. They are a great couple, I worked with Kelly a while ago and we have talked about doing pictures for a couple of years now, finally got around to getting the job done.
Princess Island Park has become my place to go for portraits, it is central in the city, usually not too busy on the weekend, don’t try this on a festival weekend. The park provides some great alternatives, from the bridges, to the playground, and lots of quiet benches, open grassy areas, and a duck pond!
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.

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.
