Dave and Shelley Engagement photo session by Photography by Linda.ca

I could really hang out with these two all the time, we really had a great time together. They really are so much fun to be around and have real love for each other! I am so blessed that they chose me as their photographer out of how many did they see?
Shelley and Dave are getting married September 3, 2011
They went to high school together but didn't really know one another until a mutual friend said that they should get to know each other better since Shelley was taking a painting class and Dave was an art student.
They started talking and then went out for dinner and had a really good time together.
About Dave's Proposal! Shelley according to Dave doesn't do so well with surprises so he kept her guessing where they were going. Dave took Shelley to a dinner where they had their first date and he reserved the same booth that was their first date. They even ordered the same food as their first date 3 years ago! After dinner Dave took her to her old stomping grounds a park that she loves! She had turned around and put down her purse on a platform and when she turned around he had knelt in front of her with the ring out, she was looking at him and not her ring. ABSOLUTELY she said, doesn't that just bring tears to your eyes!
Her favorite thing about Dave is that he is so completely unflappable. He always finds a way to make it through even the toughest situations with a smile on his face and the fact that he is an adorable red head.
His favorite thing about Shelley is she's a surprisingly generous person filled with a lot of love and warmth. Also, she likes puns.
I asked them both what are you both looking forward to on your wedding day!
Shelley said the look on his face when he sees me for the first time that day and I'm looking forward to the end of planning, and well, just being married....(finally).
Dave said to see her too for the first time in her dress and just being married finally too!
Oh yes and I should mention the CAKE!
I am so excited for you two and to be able to spend the day with you both and your family and friends to capture the moments the joy, the love, the laughter, and the tears, a photo moment!

Okotoks weddings and engagement photographer

Andrew and Cheryl are both from Calgary and they met in Toronto. They are living there and going to university. Some of the places Andrew asked me to find were hay bales, rail road tracks and water for their engagement session. So I started off with our lake to give them the water feel that they wanted and met up with Janice. We photographed them for just over an hour and then we headed for the town of Okotoks. A really pretty town with tons of history and old buildings right up my alley! Having my son living in Okotoks I go quite often and scouted out some places where I could take Andrew and Cheryl. Just before we got into town I had found the hay bales, nothing like hoping the fence and we were in. After leaving the farmers fields we headed for the old buildings some of them were built in 1902! Much to their delight I was able to photograph them in a number of awesome places. I sure didn't have to tell Andrew to kiss Cheryl, he just had to look at her and the next thing they were kissing!

Kids in The Wedding Party, by Photography by Linda.ca

Having kids in one's wedding party can really steal the show! They too love to have fun as well as adults do. I thought that I would share a few pointers when having children in your wedding party.
I think one of the most important things to do is to introduce them to your photographer at your wedding rehearsal, this way they know that you with the camera are suppose to be there and not to be afraid of the photographer.
Children get tired especially the real young ones who are about 5 and younger, it is important to bring Children snacks and drinks to the park when photographing as they get hungry and cannot hold their hunger as well as adults do. Also to allow enough photo time for the younger ones as sometimes they don't want to have their photos taken. Try to have their photograph's taken first when doing family photos so that the parents can take them for food and drink and maybe a nap before your reception starts.
The older children want to have fun and they show it with their smiles and especially when they are having a good time making funny faces.
Yes Children can steal the show as you never know what you are going to get when photographing them on the wedding day! Remember it is your wedding day and memories are a treasure to keep forever!
