Lake Minnewanka Banff Engagement Session

David & Angelica live in Calgary, but they were planning for a wedding in Winnipeg, so when I mentioned that I could do their engagement session in Banff this spring, they were sold. It was perfect. We did a sunrise engagement session at Lake Minnewanka and the views did not disappoint! After some galavanting on the rocks beside those beautiful clear blue waters, we headed to a lookout spot on the side of a mountain overlooking the town of Banff. David and Angelica were ready with some dance moves that they were working on for their first dance and what better place to practice than here! We were also joined by some wildlife and you can see a pack of mountain sheep making their way across the background of some of their photos. Enjoy!

Two Jack Lake Banff Engagement Session

I love it when my clients are willing to think outside of the box, or in this case, outside of the province! Katie & David were totally game when I put out the word that I wanted to do a couple of shoots in Banff this spring. You all know that I love the adventure of travelling and exploring new places. It definitely fuels my creativity and these two reaped the benefits! We had so much fun galavanting through these beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains for their engagement session. If you’re ever in Banff, Alberta, I highly recommend checking out Two Jack Lake! We did this session in late May and a lot of the other lakes were still 80% frozen but Two Jack was ready to show off it’s dazzling clear blue waters. Enjoy!

Utah Boho Desert Elopement

Guuyyyyyssss how cool is this styled elopement!!?! I love boho weddings and don’t get to do enough of them for my taste. BUT this styled boho elopement in the desert was SO gorgeous. Plus these two were just the cutest. We trekked out through the desert, down the most beautiful path, to get to this location. It’s unlike any place I’ve ever shot before and new places always inspire me. Enjoy!

Utah Engagement Session

Sometimes photo shoots don’t go quite as planned and instead of a nice warm desert shoot on the cliff, you get a snowstorm and zero visibility! BUT even though it’s not what we had imagined, it was beautiful and fun and adventurous in it’s own way. Back in March, I had the pleasure of attending the Rooted Workshop in Moab, Utah. It was amazing to get to know a bunch of other female photographers like myself and to explore a brand new place. We collaboratively shot three styled sessions in the desert and while this may have been the coldest one, I thought the snow just added that much more dimension to the photos. Enjoy!
