Lauren + Josh are all kinds of awesome. After we got together for their engagement session, I had a feeling that their wedding at the Red Deer Golf & Country Club was going to be amazing. And, I was right.

I had a great time at Danica + Kenny’s wedding back in July. My favourite part was when Danica (a hairstylist herself) took over cutting her little nephew’s hair, even though she was busy getting ready.

Back in April, I held a birthday contest to celebrate my company turning 2. I invited readers to tell me what they were most excited about for the upcoming summer and dropped everyone who entered into a hat and Stephanie was the lucky winner of a session with me and a product credit.

I got to meet her super cute little family back in July and we had lots of fun hanging out together, despite the mosquitoes.

There is no fighting it, Fall is coming upon us. Last week it was so hot, we were soaking up the last bit of sprinkler weather and today I woke up to take my boy to school and it was cold.

In celebration of this pretty season, I’m having a Fall Sale.

Jenny + Sheldon + Pavel have graced the front of my camera before, a year ago. This time, Pavel was more mobile, and definitely not afraid to exercise his right to move in an open field.

And, he brought his grandma + grandpa along. Not sure what could make for a happier little boy

Time off isn’t always a good thing for productivity.

Last year, I had a system.

Last year, I was on top of things.

Like my blog.

This year, I got to enjoy the limited summer we had. I took my family camping every chance I got. I didn’t have a wedding every single weekend (sometimes two), and yet, my poor little corner of the blogiverse is being sadly neglected. I have so much to share, so I am taking some time to get it out there

Natasha + Keith were my only destination wedding of the year, back in May, and I had never actually been to Valleyview before. Both of their families were so nice and welcoming and I had a great time with both of them

I’m totally breaking from my regular blogging queue to post these pics, because this super cute couple is getting married tomorrow!! We couldn’t get out to do their engagement session until last Friday, and I wanted to have the pictures up while they are still engaged I promise to get back in order after this, I have a lot still to post

Despite getting swarmed with mosquitoes, Lauren + Josh had no problems snuggling. They wanted a picnic theme, and when I pulled up to our spot, they were inflating balloons. They make me happy

I bet Lauren + Josh would love some blog love before they tie the knot, and lets all hope that Mother Nature helps out all of tomorrows weddings with some beautiful weather and no bugs

This summer has been crazy for weather. Our choices have been rainy, cloudy or chilly. We don’t seem to catch too many breaks. We had had to reschedule this engagement session once before, and almost had to again, but Melanie decided we should take our chances, and I am so glad we did. They are super cute together, and I am in love with the pictures we got.

Kristi + Andrew are a pretty awesome couple, who had an equally awesome wedding with some amazing friends and family at their side, at the U of A’s Faculty Club back in May.

Katherine and Rob had a pretty awesome wedding. They did all of their portraits before the ceremony, they played mini golf and football after the portraits, she wore a football garter and blue shoes (boy, I love to see non-white shoes on a wedding day) and despite the threat of rain all day, this wedding couldn’t of turned out more perfect for everyone. It also reminded me why I almost always bring a second pair of shoes (sadly, this time I didn’t).

I had a hard time narrowing down my favourites, so this is a long post
