Last week I went out with a few friends all of which are photographers in their own right.  Veronica, for some odd reason in which no one can explain, decided not to bring her camera!  Veronica is the hippie :)  But we still love her any way.   Then there was Heather, the red head.  She’s a photographer with a knack for photographing flowers, she does flowers like nobody’s business.  Then we had a friend from Montreal fly in.  William.  I met him while I was in Montreal, he’s in town on vacation.  Who comes to Winnipeg for a vacation?  At any rate, we headed over to Cooks Creek and then to Birdshill Park for some adventure and photographic fun!

In true Denley form I say less talk more pictures…so here you go!

Well, after taking a two week breather from blogging i’m back!  Turns out there is sunshine and a fresh smell in the air.  I’ve been hibernating and the fresh air is a welcome return.

Just last week I was out with Amanda and Mat at the University of Winnipeg photographing their engagements.  It is always fun to photograph a new couple.  Usually they are a little nervous and don’t know what to do at first, but by the end of it they are relaxed and have had an awesome time.  Mat and Amanda were no exception.  They rocked it out.  I was a really big fan of the U of W as I have never shot there before.  Plus I’m always a big fan of photographing couples that are easy to photograph.  It makes my job so easy :P  By the end of the photoshoot we had finished with a game of pool, how awesome is that?  I think Amanda won, but to be honest I’m not sure anyone was keeping score.  Enjoy!

Secondly, what an amazing wedding it was.  It was especially significant for me because it was my only sister who got married!  And boy howdy did she ever look amazing.  It was so special for me to be able to spend the whole day with my sister and get to photograph her!  The wedding day started off with all the her at the hair salon, then the family shots and formal wedding photos.  The wedding ceremony was held at 4:30 pm and it was simply beautiful, elegant and heart warming.  The music that was performed had me fooled because I thought it was a recording until I realized that it was actually being played live, needless to say it rocked and everyone was singing along and dancing…yeah dancing!

I always tell my clients that I truly believe that a wedding is the celebration.  And a celebration it was.  I could keep writing but I’m a much better photographer than a writer so I’ll just let the photos speak.  Oh and the first photo is me in a stylin’ suit don’t you think!? ;)
