Mr and Mrs Smith...(But more rad than the movie)

As many of you know, we've had a whirlwind summer wedding season...

So today we wanted to feature another one of our awesome wedding couples and give a shout out to them for being so much fun to work with.  

How could you not have fun when the day includes:

-A morning 5km run (on the ladies side)...and no Gary did not participate...tsk tsk.

-A morning of story telling and beer drinking (on the guys side)

-Vows filled with laughs and tears...but more laughs than anything

-A little bit of pool and rounds of drinks

-And one of the most epic first dances we've seen yet...the bride was flipped 3 times...THREE TIMES!!! 

Well played Mr and Mrs Smith...well played...

Congratulations on one amazing wedding! Stoked we could be a part of it... 

How the girls get ready...

How the guys get ready...

Runaway Bride AND Groom...

As we're deep in the midst of a crazy busy wedding season, we thought it would be appropriate to update you on one of our most recent, and most memorable shoots....

Words cannot express how stoked we were when we got an email a few weeks ago from a couple who were packing up their truck and heading up north to elope on their way to Inuvik! They liked our style of work, and wanted to know if they could book with us on a not-yet-decided date and time during their travels...We absolutely loved these guy's sense of adventure, and so made sure to find a time during their brief stay in Whitehorse to make it happen...

So one late Friday night in June, we headed up to the top of grey mountain to be part of a beautiful, simple, and adventurous ceremony.  They had 4 friends/witnesses, including a fiddle player who got the call to come perform 20 min before the ceremony started, and with a bouquet of 'borrowed' flowers one of the witnesses grabbed on the way up the hill, they stood at the top of grey mountain and said their vows.

It was so great to be part of such a unique experience for these guys.  It was so apparent how happy they were to just be on the road together, starting their adventure off with such an incredible day.

We want to thank you Sally and Adam for having us be a part of it-it was refreshing and touching to be a part of such an intimate event, and we wish you all the best in the many adventures we're sure you'll share over the years! (We also hope there were no flat tires on your drive to Inuvik...)  ;)

Two Newfoundlanders walk into a studio...

Don't worry this isn't the beginning of a really bad joke...and technically both of them didn't actually 'walk' into the studio...

Today we've decided to share some images from a recent shoot we did with our niece Anna taken during her trip to the Yukon last month.  Normally she lives in Newfoundland, but she was up visiting family with my sister and brother in law for a few weeks.

So, my sister wanted some nice simple shots that really just focussed on Anna's expressions which as you'll notice, she has a lot of.  As with any baby shoot, we work on a time line, trying to get as many shots as possible in before there are any meltdowns.  For any of you out there with kids, you know that when they're this small (hey maybe even when they're older-who knows), their moods can change in an instant which can put a quick end to their 'modelling gig'.

On this day, however, Anna decided to surprise us all...she was full of smiles and more than happy to just check out the lights and laugh at her Grandpa. That was until we decided that we should introduce her to Bill Murray.  Now, Bill Murray is a 2 year old Newfoundlander, and although he's completely harmless, (one might even say 'lazy' or probably a better term would be 'extremely zen'), someone as tiny as Anna probably looks at him and sees a giant, hairy, baby eating monster....

Needless to say, we got Murray to lay down on our white seamless (which after the shoot was no longer white...this spring weather does not get along with long dog hair), and sat Anna down beside him. At first (as you'll notice from the shot), she was simply intrigued by the size of his giant head and the bone he was chewing on...but then it was as if she suddenly realized that due to her lack of ability to walk, she was trapped there beside the 'beast'! Sooo the tears began, parents tried to calm her, and Murray just kept on chewin'...

Alas, the photoshoot was indeed over.

The interesting note is that she's hung out with Bill Murray many times since and never has a problem with him-even when he 'sneakily' jogs by her and gives her a full head lick in one swoop...so i have my doubts that it was fear after all and instead more of a trick to get her mom to feed her. She's sneaky like that...

The only question we were left with was who drooled more on our white seamless...
