Sara + Eric Wedding - Best Western Plus Nor'Wester Hotel

It was my second wedding of the summer at NorWester Hotel. Once again the weather held up, but it was definitely a hot day for a wedding. Sara and Eric actually got married in a small intimate ceremony the previous year, but they wanted to do it again, this time in front of family.

The ceremony was short and very sweet, with all of their closest friends and family watching on. Once the ceremony was over we immediately braved the hot weather, and wind, for the family and wedding party photos. As I mentioned before, it really is one of the nicest backdrops in the city there. We took full advantage of it too.

My day ended with covering the first part of the reception. It gave me a chance to get a lot more candid photos of people, which I absolutely love. Congratulations (again), to the happy couple, Sara and Eric.

Sara + Eric Engagement Session - Centennial Park

Sara and Eric came to visit family for the holidays and, while they were here, asked me to shoot their engagement photos. I always love when wedding couples of mine decide to to do engagement sessions. It helps break the ice a bit and get everyone comfortable with one another. Plus, I very much enjoy getting out in the winter and photographing beautiful couples.

We decided to do it at Centennial Park, which in my mind, is probably one of the nicest winter spots to do portraits. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground and the weather wasn’t too cold. As always, I like to keep these kind of winters sessions moving, yet not rushed. That helps everyone stay warm.

Both Sara and Eric were complete naturals in front of the camera. I’m already looking forward to their wedding in 2021!
