I had never really been around pigs much before – so I was surprised to learn how funny they are! Such characters! These ones had their scary canine teeth removed, so it was fun to touch them and let them bump against me with their little piggy noses. Sadly, my husband won’t let me have one.

Towards the end of the session, we entered the golden hour of light. We popped across the road to a wheat field for some more photos with the gorgeous light.

It was great to meet you both, and I wish you the best of luck with your summer 2012 wedding!

Congratulations on your engagement – Hallie, you are going to be a GORGEOUS bride!

Since Kevin is from the Vermilion area, it was a natural choice of locations for their session. We spent some time at the amazing Vermilion Provincial Park, then did some more photos at Lakeland College. Autumn is an amazing season in this region, and the colors and textures and light are unbelievable!

A little random squirrel action …

These two crazy farm kids fit right in at my farm location, and they were game for anything!

Melissa is the youngest of the Macnab “kids” – her sister, Carmen, got married in June 2008 to the very handsome Brody (and now they have a baby boy! Congratulations!) and her brother, Brad, married the beautiful Wendy in April 2008 (and I hear congratulations are in order for Brad & Wendy, too … a baby on the way!). I was the photographer for both Carmen & Brad’s weddings, so I was SO honoured when I got the call when Melissa got engaged, too! The Macnabs are an amazing and beautiful family, I love working with them!

I’m so excited for this 2010 Mervin, SK wedding – it’s going to be great to reconnect with the Macnab family and see a lot of familiar faces. I know a bunch of Brennen’s family as well (his sister Kelly was Wendy’s maid of honor). It will be like a reunion for me! Super fun! Brennen and Melissa, thank you SO MUCH for choosing me to be your wedding photographer! You are an amazing couple and I had a blast shooting your Capture Love session.

The rest of these are down in the beautiful Vermilion Provincial Park. It’s gorgeous this time of year!

Brennen picked the ring out all by himself. He did a great job! It’s almost as gorgeous as Melissa!

We had fun walking through the park, playing at the playground and enjoying the beautiful summer evening. I love shooting in the evening; the light is so perfect!

So, of course, I was more than happy to meet up with Chuck and Marlie in Cold Lake yesterday for their engagement session! Chuck and Marlie are getting married in Cold Lake in the summer of 2010, so we had a blast getting to know each other and scout some possible locations for their wedding photos!

We started off down near the marina …

At this point, it started to rain … so we drove around to find a location where it maybe *wasn’t* raining. These next few are from the provincial park …

The rain seemed to have stopped, so we decided to go back to the marina. And as soon as we got out of the car, it began to POUR. We did a few quick shots anyway!

Once we were thoroughly soaked, we went back to Marlie’s parents beautiful house on the lake for a few indoor pictures while we waited for the rain to stop … I think they make very adorable drowned rats.

And the rain stopped again! So we went into the backyard for some more photos …

How GORGEOUS is this backyard, right? The lake is RIGHT THERE, complete with your own private dock!

Thanks so much for coming out, I had a blast working with you guys!
