The gentle morning mist was the perfect backdrop for this passionate couple. Jamie and Jaled have been married for more than 3 years and what better way to celebrate their love than beautiful fall colors.
Jamie and I have been great friends since studying the Design program at the University of Alberta. As I remember before our portfolio critiques in the morning, we always enjoyed chatting while we strolled down HUB Mall to get a coffee at “Cookies by George” (just to take the pressure off). But the biggest thing that I remember was her love for Jaled and her stories of him and that one day she would marry her handsome prince.
Although they have been married for a short time, it seems that they have known each other all of their lives and that they were destined to be together. When Anthony and I met Jaled for the first time, we could easily see why Jamie fell head over heels for this wonderful man.
I will be waiting to hear the call one day… “Rina! I’m pregnant! Photos!”
Your dear friends,
~Rina + Anthony

Recent newlyweds Amanda and Steve contacted us to be part of our “couples take your best shot”. We couldn’t wait for this opportunity. Amanda hadn’t washed her dress just yet, so it was perfect timing for all of us. Anthony and I wanted to shoot the Highlevel tunnel for a while now and since the chartered service happened to be afterhours, most of our brides couldn’t take up that offer.
It was a great adventure for Amanda and Steve to ride the streetcar, since it was both their first time. Steve’s expression over the Highlevel Bridge was pretty hilarious, like a little kid in a candy store. He wanted the doors to be opened so he could see the sunset, as Amanda chilled inside the train watching and made sure he didn’t do anything stupid. :O)
Thank you Amanda and Steve for letting us bring our creative side in the work that we do and we hope that you had a great experience with us as well. It was a pleasure to witness your love for each other in such a short period of time.
Your pals,
~Rina + Anthony

Back in June of this year, we had the pleasure to shoot Christine and Winslow’s engagement session. There were laughs between the lovely couple and we were able to capture these moments that led up to their big wedding day.
It’s no doubt that you two are made for with each other. When we arrived at Delta Hotel before the ceremony started, Christine was already in her beautiful gown, and so were her two sisters, Catherine and Carmen. The sisters bonded with one another as hugs and giggles filled the room.
Meantime, Winslow was catching up with family and friends at the signing table, while waiting anxiously to walk his bride-to-be down the aisle.
After the ceremony, we headed out to downtown for their creatives. The local restaurant manager was thrilled to have us shoot on location while we also kept ourselves sheltered from the chilly October afternoon.
Christine and Winslow, it was a pleasure to shoot your perfect day. Look forward to showing you the rest.

Their beautiful story began 12 years ago filled with love and friendship…
It’s an early morning of October, we arrived at the Westin Hotel where Christina and the girl’s preparations were well underway. The make-up was being applied by the bride herself and her hair was done by her sister, Pam who is a professional makeup artist with Evelyn Charles. Later in the morning, the rest of the bridesmaids and family members joined in for a quick peek at the beautiful and elegant bride-to-be.
On the guy’s side, things were more subtle. Dustin had already walked their dogs and had been anticipating our arrival. Dustin works in the catering industry and was thrilled to share his books and travels of the culinary world while we steeped our morning tea. He is also an avid body builder. As he does his morning workout, I can’t help but notice his resemblance to “Rocky”, which is also his favourite movie.
Both Christina and Dustin are huge fans of NYC culture when it comes to movies, cuisine and lifestyle. They were delighted to shoot with us at venues that reflected their deep passion for NYC. We even made a surprise cameo visit at Sam Abouhassan, who custom made Dustin’s sharp looking suit.
As the evening came around, the ballroom was filled with gorgeous decor, flowers and chocolate. Christina and Dustin’s family and friends were treated to an intimate 5 course dinner and dancing at the Westin Hotel. Toasting, cheering and dancing lasted well into the night before we shuffled them out for a few shots on the beautiful skywalk.
Thank you Christina and Dustin for sharing your wonderful day with us and for trusting our vision.

Amy and Chris has been married for over a year now and one of their friends gave them a wonderful anniversary session with us.
It was a great day with the vibrant fall colors in Calgary. Amy and Chris, you guys still show the love for each other and it radiates with your presence. It was a true pleasure to spend time with you guys and to witness your everlasting romance. Thank you for showing us around the places that means a lot to you and your connection with the city.
Your friends up North,
~AR
Classic landmark to commemorate your love for this city: The Calgary Tower
With the early snowfall, you are amongst the few lucky couples this year who are able to get such vibrant fall imagery. Great timing on your part guys. =)
We found this amazing location for flash work to end off the morning. Amy and Chris, you guys are nothing but stellar! =)

Michelle and Terry, you brought us laughs through your personality. When we first arrived to both of your family’s home, we were greeted with a warm presence. The girls were already getting their hair, make-up and dresses, there were tears in the room and lots of hugs, laughter and love. Michelle’s family were in and out of her bedroom wanting to get a quick glimpse and photos of the bride to be. On the guys side… you hear the television go on. The sound of movies, videos games and more games.
In the evening Michelle and Terry’s family were treated to a lovely evening of a Chinese 10 course meal, where families got a chance to show their affections to the newly weds, through laughter, smiles and of course tears (Michelle said that she was a teary girl and she really showed her emotions to the man she adores) Family members were also to recreate kisses and the couple had to do it 10 times better.
Love the quirky things that you guys do. Thanks for letting us be a part of your big wedding day. Hope you guys are having a blast back in Vancity.
Your friends,
~Anthony + Rina

Jessica and Peter, your hospitality was incredible and what an action packed two days. It was beautiful to hear how you met and fell in love. Your down to earth personality shows through and your love with each other is remarkable.
We had such a blast with your “over the top” tour of Vegreville. The aerial view was impressive. It’s so awesome see the different crop patterns from harvest season. We also got a chance to meet Jazz, your furry friend, who decided not to go back into the car during the rain storm as the four of us tried chasing her back in. Both Anthony and I are city kids and for you guys to show us around your farm fields of wheat, barley and of course corn was amazing. Not only that, but we also got to know a bit more of the cattle business on “Spring Creek Ranch”. Wow, I have never seen this much cattle in my life. Thanks to Jessica for showing us a little bit of her grandfather and for shooting in the little old house that he used to live in.
It was such a pleasure witnessing your love for each other and your love for the countryside. We are delighted to be shooting your wedding next February.
Your friends,
~Anthony + Rina

It was a cold October night, Ben and Shilo were ready to get into their elegant outfits for their engagement shoot. The idea for their shoot was inspired by Shilo’s love for the movie “A Walk in the Clouds”. The intimate candlelight setting and their love for fine wine were perfect for their photoshoot.
