Candice and Shane's Wedding- Canmore Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:06:00 +0000

Candice and Shane were hoping for some amazing snow for their end of November wedding in Canmore, and although Calgary had just had a blizzard the night before, there was no snow at all on the ground in Canmore. That wasn't a problem though, because we went and FOUND some snow at a higher elevation!! Shane's gift to Candice for their wedding was a helicopter ride. When they first mentioned they wanted to do this helicopter ride, I was pumped, and couldn't wait for their wedding!!

These two are super fun, flirty, playful, and love to laugh. It was a joy to photograph them and they were still smiling after a couple of hours of being outside in winter temperatures! You guys rock.

Here is the story of their day:

I just couldn't resist posting this photo. Candice's sister is glaring at her husband, and Candice's dad doesn't have a clue what is going on behind him. LOL. This cracks me up.

St. Michael's Anglican Church. It has so much character and charm.

Some comradery between the mom's after the unity candle was almost mistakenly lit. Candice said "no mom", and everyone laughed. It definitely lightened the mood.

Married!!

Ringing the bell outside the church:

It may not look that cold, but looks can be deceiving. There was a crazy windchill factor out on this bridge:

A classic portrait:

Time for the helicopter ride by Alpine Helitours:

The helicopter dropped us off in a nice snowy bowl on top of a mountain. Finally some snow to play with!!

Congrats!!

Coming Soon...Candice and Shane's Wedding

Lise & Dan's E-Session

Oh goodness, I haven't laughed so hard in a while! I headed down to Prince's Island to meet up with Lise and Dan for their engagement session. Dan is a pretty funny guy and he loves to make Lise laugh. I just love seeing couples having fun together and enjoying being in each other's company!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Can't wait for your wedding in May!!

Brooke & Steve's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:52:00 +0000

The power of love can conquer even a vast ocean! You see, Brooke is from Australia and Steve is from Alberta and they dated mostly long distance for many years. But even that great distance wouldn't step in the way of their dreams to become husband and wife. It was an amazing day for sure and although it was chilly outside, the wedding party braved the cold and kept warm with their laughter!!

Here is the story of their day:

Who was the make-up artist? The bride!!

Getting laced in. Mom from Australia watching:

Steve's mom and grandma watching him:

I just loved Steve's reaction when he saw Brooke coming down the aisle. It was a gasp of amazement:

Congratulations!!

Coming Soon...Brooke & Steve's Wedding

Brooke & Steve's E-Session

Brooke and Steve's wedding is just a couple of days away, so I really wanted to post a few shots for them before their big day. I looooove bright colors and so as soon as I met Brooke with her bright red lips, I was pumped to photograph her and Steve. We had fun wandering around Prince's Island Park laughing and looking for nice light and background color. Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Can't wait for your big day!!!

Shannon & Cory's E-Session

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:21:00 +0000

It was kind of past the prime of fall when I got together with Shannon and Cory for their engagement session, but we searched the park and found some great spots that still had some color!! It was awesome to be outside in the sunshine with a great couple and their super well-behaved pooch, Bryn. Here are some of my favorites from their session:

Can't wait for your wedding in 2010!

Jenn and Mike's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:22:00 +0000

In late October in Calgary, the weather really can be anything, but we had such a nice day for Jenn and Mike's wedding. I was pumped for this wedding because I knew from their engagement session that these two would be so much fun!! And I certainly wasn't wrong! We laughed A LOT and the whole wedding party crew was up for anything. YAY!

Here is the story of their day:

Crochet hooks come in very handy for the little loops that go around the dress buttons.

Chicken Foot. Jenn, I know you'll love this one...LOL.

Hehehe...this shot cracks me up!

Congrats you two!!! I hope you had as much fun as I did!!

Natasha & Matt's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:38:00 +0000

It was a chilly day, the first Saturday in October, but Natasha and Matt were so brave and rocked their photo session OUTSIDE!! It was great to have lots of time for photos and we even got to take a breather before heading off to the reception. Barrett and I had an awesome day with these guys and their wedding party was a blast!

Here is their story:

Mom looking on as the girls get ready:

Each one of the crystals in Natasha's bouquet repesented someone close to them who was no longer with them.

I just loved all of the fall colors incorporated into the details of their ceremony:

We were thankful for a heated tent :)

Love how the cake looked very similar to the detail on Natasha's dress:

Natasha and her Dad had a super groovy dance:

Congrats you two!!!

Claire & Alex's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:52:00 +0000

What an amazing day for a fall wedding! The colors in the trees were so vibrant and it was one of the last few nice days before the weather turned cold.

My absolutely favorite part of any wedding day, is the time I get with just the bride and groom for formals. Alex and Claire didn't have a wedding party, so I was pumped to spend our entire formals session with just the two of them! We had lots of fun walking around Prince's Island and Eau Claire, and Claire & Alex were up for trying any of my ideas.

Quite a few of these shots were done by my second shooter that day, Tricia. I just love seeing a different point of view of the same set up!!

Here is the story of their day:

All ready to go!

Petals for tossing at the end of the ceremony:

I just love their reaction here:

Lots of awesome details! First two detail shots are mine, and the rest are Tricia's.

Lori & Aaron's E-Session- Calgary Engagement Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:49:00 +0000

Do you remember that strangely HOT day right at the end of September? It was about 32 degrees out and then it changed to winter almost the very next day. Well, that was the day that I met up with Lori and Aaron in Fish Creek. The fall colors were amazing and I was excited to shoot!

Lori and Aaron were great at working the romance. Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Can't wait for your wedding in March!!

A Few Sneak Peeks

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:57:00 +0000

It sure is a busy time of year and I'm a little more behind in editing than I would like to be right now because of being out of town on a paragliding maneouvers course and then getting sick! Well, I'm feeling much better and back in the swing of things trying to get everyone their photos in a timely mannor. I came across a few shots from 3 recent weddings that I really wanted to share:

Jenn & Mike:

Natasha & Matt:

Hehehehe...I don't think Natasha knows about this one.

Claire & Alex: this image shot by Tricia B Photo, my second shooter that day.

Jerrid & Kristy's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:14:00 +0000

Michelle and I had a great day with Kristy and Jerrid at the end of September. The weather was perfect and I was excited to explore Spruce Meadows with them!! There are sooo many fun places to shoot there with great lighting which made me like a kid in a candy store!! Kristy and Jerrid were amazing models who were super comfortable in front of the camera and had a really fun wedding party to support them.

Here is the story of their day:

Michelle's shot:

I rarely post family shots, but sometimes potential clients are curious how family shots look, so I thought I'd post one.

I was looooooving the light coming through the doors here.

Smokin' hawt!!!

These next two are Michelle's. Love them!!

I've shot a lot of weddings this summer. Seen a lot of venues. Had many nice reception dinners. But there was something about Spruce Meadows that makes me rank them on the top of my list! The food was absolutely amazing! Like, really, really good. The room was beautiful with a great view through the big windows, a crackling fire, and warm chandelier lighting. It was one of the few venues in town that I had never been to before.

Jerrid's parents during speeches:

Congrats!!

Linda & Don's Wedding- Banff Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:03:00 +0000

Linda and Don had an amazing day in Banff with their closest friends and family. I hadn't met either of them before the day because they live out of town, so I was excited to see who they were and learn about their love story. Their wedding day came and we battled major construction traffic and rain showers, but they were both beaming and couldn't stop smiling at each other all day. During the reception, one of Linda's sons said that he had never seen his mom happier. WOW!

Here is their story:

Congratulations!!!

Maja & Alan's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

Karianne and I had a great time with Alan and Maja on their day. We laughed and had fun and there was such a relaxed atmosphere amongst the wedding party. You guys made our job a breeze!

Alan and Maja were awesome at the silly shots and then could turn on the romance like nobody's business! Woohoo!!

Here is your sneak peek:

Karianne's perspective. You can see me squatting at the front of the aisle.

Quite possibly one of my most favorite shots ever!

We had lots of time in between the ceremony and reception, so after taking lots of photos, we took a little break and had a drink before continuing. Thank you to Alan's brother Chris for the drinks! We forgot to thank you on the wedding day.

Alan's Dad having a go at the "kissing game". There were different kinds of kisses for how far back you putted from. As you can see, he's trying to get them to "second base". LOL.

Congratulations!!

Stephanie & Adam's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

When I think of a word that sums up Adam and Stephanie's wedding, I think of genuine. They are genuinely nice people who are in love, connected to each other, and really, really good at working romantic poses!!

They had a beautiful day for weather and luckily since we did the formals before the ceremony, we had the parks all to ourselves!! YAY.

Here is their story:

Elisa & Joel's Wedding- Calgary Wedding Photography

info@kristyreimerphotography.com (Kristy Reimer Photography) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:05:00 +0000

Elisa and Joel live in Ontario, so I hadn't met either of them before their big day. Wow, what an amazing couple!! They were calm, collected, and looked amazing! They had a super fun and supportive wedding party and we had a blast during the photo session. Thank you to Shannon from Frit Fru Weddings for planning an amazing event and to Elisa's mom Leslie who met with me before hand and was a big part of the plans too!

Here is their story:

I never cry at weddings...never ever, but when Elisa's mom told her that the only thing that was more amazing than today, was having a daughter like her, I almost lost it too.

We went out to a field close to Elisa's parent's house for some shots with the girls before the ceremony. She was totally working it.

The ceremony was held in Elisa's parent's amazing yard.

So, I really have no clue what these guys were doing in this "boat", but it warranted a photo. They had pretty awesome electrical tape mustaches. LOL.

Congratulations!!!
