Personally, I don't think he takes after either of them. :)

Mark and Melissa are a really sweet couple who wanted to record the newest phase of their lives together; their new young puppy called Luke. He is such a good-natured dog, one of those big, bouncing, happy dogs that almost seem to be smiling all the time, if you know what I mean. He is also quite obedient for his age, too.

Melissa and Mark live in Calgary and we did the photo session at Fish Creek park in the south side of the city. It's quite a nice area, with a couple of quaint restaurants and what looked like a few walking trails, though I didn't have a chance to explore the place. But we did take photos, though!

I had my friend James Day from Australia helping me out with my lights and taking a few photos. He's actually a very accomplished photographer in his own right and although I loved the fact that he came along it was an odd feeling to be working with another photographer (other than my wife, Sherri). I think it would be cool to do again though.

Anyways, I am super busy editing weddings and helping people out with my new Photoshop actions, so the whole session is not yet completely edited, but I wanted to put up a teaser image and this little write-up just for now. :) We took quite a few images with several different looks, but here's just one for now.

I'll be back with more in a few days.

I promised to return with a slideshow and here it is! It will give you a brief glimpse into how awesome Mike and Coralie are. :) Oh, I should mention that we weren't contracted to cover their whole day—and not the reception at all, though we attended as guests, so there are hardly any images from that time.

It might take a few moments to load.

I'll be back in the next few days with photos from a family session with a big black dog and a model shoot as well. I'm also going to be launching a new blog sometime for all you Photoshoppers out there, with video tutorials, tips, actions, and all kinds of cool things. Stay tuned.

Dan and Kelly-Lynn are a lovely couple and they were married at the Westside Community Church in Lethbridge on the 10th of May this year—and, yes, I'm that behind in updating the blog!

It's kind of not fair that Kelly gets two first names and Dan only gets half of one, but I guess now that they're married maybe they can share one.

Anyway. :) It was a heart-warming and emotional day, with both Dan and Kelly needing tissues for their tears more than once. I love it when the wedding is so meaningful for the couple and their love is so evident. It's truly one of the most rewarding times as a photographer to be there to record such special moments.

We wish them all the best and here are some of their pictures.
