Hello, hello!
Wowza, this week has been great, meeting with some awesome couples, family sessions, and making some mad preparations for this weekend. We also met with the Drop In Centre in Calgary, and we are going to start an amazing project that will result in a published book of photos celebrating their 50th anniversary. Cool!
I have a lot of thanks to make this week, and will make posts about all the little tid bits of news over the next week. One of those thanks is to Colin and Sarah, getting married in December. We shared some laughter, a love for photography, and we are just grateful to get to share the big day with them, watching it all unfold. Yay! Here they are:
Coming home from a shoot today, I drove in the country listening to Paul Simon, full of coffee and nostalgia, my whole life behind me and so much ahead. Today I hope all the babies follow their dreams, that may be the most important thing each of us ever does!
We had such a great time with Cori and Trevor & their wonderful family and friends. We really were treated like one of the family. They were married on Cori’s family farm, a truly inspiring location.
Thank you guys for having us, and we welcome your family and friends to join our facebook group and twitter, to keep in touch!
We have a few publications coming out this month, Yay! Here is the first, we did some shoe shots for Check m8 Shoes and had it printed in Calgary Fashion Magazine.
Hello, hello. Yes this much blogging is crazy in the peak Calgary wedding photography season; but I am super excited for the couples and new visitors to see our latest work. We are so lucky to have shared this day with Sandra and Curt; and excited to see so many guests and friends of theirs join our facebook group! We really appreciate the support and hope you enjoy this shots.
Tis the season when our posts get shorter…we have so many wedding and engagement pictures to share and I really hope to take a break from shooting and processing to share our latest work, and the stories of the amazing people we have photographed! Here is the second post of the very lovely, funny, and quirky George and Chalida. We have some video clips in this slide show…just enough to give you a taste of the video product we are launching this summer. We are working hard on a couple full videos to show you very soon, Yay!

Hey everyone,
We had the honour of taking engagement photos of some great calgary couples over the last few weeks. With this being the crazy height of wedding season we will be posting a lot of new work over the next several weeks, yay!
The first Calgary couple is the wonderful, full of life and super fun loving Anne Marie and Mark. We had a great time hanging out taking some photos in Inglewood, walking around and just finding those spontaneous opportunity for fun photos. Their wedding is in Oct, 10/10/10 in Banff, AB, and we can’t wait.
Yesterday was fun. Curt and Sandra are on the way to Alaska, probably to do some fishing:) Here are a couple shots from the wedding at Nakoda Lodge yesterday, and we will put up a whole bunch more later this week. It was so relaxed and fun, and the guests were a wild party, we loved them and the photo booth pics are hilarious!

When my husband to be and I set a wedding date my biggest fear was finding a photographer that was in my budget but did a good job. I had seen lots of people go cheaper for the pictures and paid the price of awful photos. After long searching I found Christina and Nathan. Her and Nathan went above and way beyond what I thought a photographer would do. She was so excited to get started when I told her I was having a winter wedding. She did an engagement session with my fiance and me and my 3 year old, and a month later did another one with just my fiance and I. The pictures were phenominal and the amount I got was crazy. Christina set everything up for me, the timing of everything, I didn't have to worry about a thing. She kept everyone relaxed and even managed to get great family photos with a little too tipsy aunt! haha!
The photo booth she set up was such a good idea it allowed my guests to have great professional photos and just gave me some fun ones to stick in my album. Her ideas were great!
So all in all, Christina made my day and weeks leading up to the wedding a little less stress free and obviously I can't say enough about how wonderful Christina and Nathan were. The pictures are absolutely amazing and I could not have asked for a better photographer. She was well organized and her ideas and perfessionalism were well beyond what I could have asked for, or even imagined. When people ask me how my wedding went the first thing I mention is Christina. Any time I find out someone is getting married my first question is Do you have a photographer yet? I am so thankful that I got to meet the two of them and have these amazing pictures for the rest of my life.
So thanks Christina and Nathan! You guys were so wonderful!

“We cannot say enough good things about Christina! – she had tons of great tips about timing, location, and decorations. The day of the wedding, she moved things along so that we didn’t have to worry.
We are SO happy with both our engagement and our wedding photos. Everyone wants to know who our photographer is! The photos are beautiful, creative, editorial, and emotional. Her style is so unique – each photo is interesting in a different way.
We loved that Christina got to know us, before planning our photo sessions. This enabled her to tailor the photos specifically to us, and it worked.
Christina herself is super friendly and outgoing. She put us at ease right away, and she was fantastic with the kids at the wedding! We got tons of comments about how great she was at the reception. She is also very spry, and climbed several fences, stairs, and statues in order to get the proper angles!
We could not be happier with everything!”
~Katie and Pierre
The pictures were amazing. Wow is all we can say! Thanks for doing a fabulous job.
Your professionalism and passion for your work is so admirable. Being such a busy day, you guys managed to capture all the special moments that we would like to remember, and our friends and family absolutely loved the pictures.
Most importantly, thank you for making us smile when we were stressed…
Thanks for doing a wonderful job!
~Sharon and Sherard
Wow! These look amazing Christina and Nathan!!! You both made each shoot entertaining, which is probably why we didn’t stop laughing the entire time. Can’t wait to see the rest and more importantly, can’t wait for Sept. 18th! Thank you so much.
~Joel and Jamie
I am so happy with these photos! The picture of our dog “Oscar,” makes me laugh everytime I see it. Not only does this photo have great composition, but captures our love for animals, military history, and each other. I also the car picture. What a great perspective, it looks like a scene from a movie!
I never thought that engagement pictures could encorporate so many elements, but Christina went above and beyond to have these truly reflect us. Something I never would have expected, and truly appreciate.
~Rio and John
Christina I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! Adam and I had so much fun hanging out with you – it didn’t even feel like we were “posing for pictures”. You have a real talent! Can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks again!
~Sava and Adam

~Melissa
Oh my god, they are beautiful!!!! We LOVE them so much!!!!
You make me look so photogenic. :) These are totally fantastic.
~Katie (maternity session)
Christina's photography captured emotions and moments in a way that I didn't think was possible. Beyond being a gifted artist she understood what was important to us and translated that into images we have for a lifetime. I can't say enough about how wonderful her work is and how amazing she is as a person. If you want breathtaking photo's that tell a deeply personal story then Christina's your girl....Hire her
~Ashley and Tatiana
We absolutley LOVED our pictures! Thank you guys so much! You captured the day so perfectly and we can't stop looking through them. They are artistic, classic, fun and simply amazing! We enjoyed the whole process with you guys from the beginning to the end. Thanks again!

I wish you continued success, anyone who hires you will not be disappointed, and will be lucky to have discovered you. I wish I could have had you for my own wedding. Congratulations on a job well done!
