A Stunning wedding day at Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden : Tatum and Tyson
Tatum & Tyson’s Gorgeous Wedding at Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden
Tatum and Tyson’s wedding day was nothing short of magical! The ladies kicked things off at the couple’s beautiful home, a plant-filled oasis that made the perfect backdrop for Tatum to get ready. Natural light poured in, and every corner felt warm and welcoming.
From there, we made our way to the Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden in Lethbridge, Alberta. The sun was shining, the blooms were vibrant, and the air was full of love. Surrounded by family and friends, Tatum and Tyson said “I do” in one of the most stunning settings imaginable.
Tatum and Tysons portraits were smooth like butter. For a couple who doesn’t love taking photo’s, I think we can all attest that they couldn’t have been more perfect. We shot these at the Garden before heading to a family friend’s property for some magic. We shot with their dogs, a Vintage Camaro, and then I saw the flowers… and the way the sun came out and kissed everything. I was screaming both internally and externally.
After that, it was time to celebrate! The reception was everything a wedding party should be — delicious food, heartfelt speeches, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night. Tatum and Tyson’s crew knows how to have a good time, and they brought all the energy.
I’m beyond grateful to have captured these moments for them. Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness!
And to think this is just hardly a sneak into this incredible day.
Hope to photograph YOU next!

A Fairy Tale Wedding at The Norland Historic Estate: Rebecca & Carter
A Fairy Tale Wedding at The Norland Historic Estate: Rebecca & Carter
There are weddings that leave an imprint on your heart, and Rebecca and Carter’s celebration at The Norland Historic Estate in Lethbridge, Alberta, was undoubtedly one of them. Their love is infectious, and they are surrounded by an incredible community of family and friends who made the day even more special.
From the moment you stepped onto the grounds of The Norland, you could feel the magic in the air. This historic estate, with its timeless charm and picturesque scenery, was the perfect setting for Rebecca and Carter to say "I do." The grandeur of the estate, paired with the warmth and joy of the couple and their loved ones, made for a wedding day filled with everything a wedding should be: love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Rebecca was a vision in her wedding gown, radiating happiness and elegance. Her bridesmaids, just as vibrant and supportive, stood by her side, adding a pop of color and joy to the day. Carter, dashing in his suit, couldn’t take his eyes off his bride, his love and admiration for her evident in every glance. His groomsmen, equally charming and full of personality, kept the day lighthearted and fun.
The ceremony was held under a canopy of trees on the estate’s grounds, with a backdrop that looked straight out of a fairytale. As Rebecca walked down the aisle, arm in arm with her father, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. The vows they exchanged were heartfelt and genuine, capturing the essence of their relationship: a perfect blend of deep connection and shared joy.
The reception that followed was nothing short of spectacular. From the heartfelt speeches that brought tears and laughter to the lively dance floor where everyone let loose, the celebration was a true testament to the love Rebecca and Carter share and the support they have from their community. The Norland’s historic charm provided a stunning backdrop for every moment, from the couple’s first dance to the cutting of the cake.
One of the most memorable parts of the day was seeing how Rebecca and Carter’s personalities shone through in every detail. From the decor to the music, every element reflected their unique love story and their appreciation for those who have supported them along the way.
As the sun set over The Norland Historic Estate, the newlyweds stole a quiet moment together, basking in the glow of their perfect day. It was a beautiful reminder that amidst the laughter, dancing, and celebration, the heart of a wedding is the union of two people deeply in love.
Rebecca and Carter, thank you for allowing me to capture your incredible day. Your love story is truly inspiring, and I feel so honored to have witnessed such a joyful and heartfelt celebration. May your lives together be as beautiful and full of love as your wedding day.

A Golden Fall Elopement in Calgary
A Golden Fall Elopement in Calgary
The sun set the tone for this enchanting evening elopement at Pearce Park in Calgary Alberta, and I was privileged enough to capture the love and magic through my lens.
As a photographer, I am trusted with the opportunity to witness and capture life's most beautiful moments. This fall elopement was nothing short of a love-infused spectacle, awash in hues of red gold orange and green.
Pearce Park, with its simple beauty, was the chosen locale. With a palette that transforms dramatically, especially during fall. The golden leaves provided a backdrop that was nothing short of a painter’s dream, lending every picture a touch of warmth and depth that made the day even more magical.
The setting sun draped everything in its golden radiance. Each shot seemed to be lifted straight out of a fairy tale. From the laughter that echoed through the trees, to the intimate whispers and shared glances, each moment was soaked in, and immortalized in time.
However, such an enchanting evening could not have come to life without the hard work and dedication of an incredible team of vendors. The beautiful floral arrangements added a touch of elegance, while the delicately crafted cake and champagne tower had us swooning. Each vendor contributed their individual talents to create a symphony of visual delight.
In conclusion, this fall styled elopement in Calgary was more than an assignment. It was an intimate celebration of love, a testament to the harmony between humans and nature, and a showcase of collective creativity. As I share these radiant and golden images with you, I hope you feel the love, warmth, and joy.
I am incredibly grateful to be part of such an extraordinary event and hope to continue capturing the magic and beauty of life's most precious moments. As always, I am excited to share more stories and experiences with you. Keep watching this space for more of my journeys through the lens. Until then, keep the love flowing.

Jordan + Corey Bryan // An Intimate Wedding Story
Covid can’t stop love.
On March 28th Jordan and Corey said their I do’s surrounded by just a handful of their family in Lethbridge, Alberta. It was a surreal moment when the government started announcing gathering limits in the weeks before their big day, and even more so when the day before their wedding the person limit changed from 50 to 15. But their love pushed on. Behind Jordan and Corey’s back the guests and family were plotting.
Immediately following the ceremony we went outside to see SO many people lining the streets with their cars, signs, music playing, horns honking and cheering. The love that was sent out in this moment brought everyone to instant tears.
The rest of the day we drove to beautiful places throughout the city capturing their love.
I hope you enjoy this love story.
