Erica & Tyler - Engagement Session

With just over a month until their wedding, we went with Erica & Tyler to take some engagement photos. We took them to the base of the High Level Bridge at the edge of Kinsmen Park and wandered around finding a ton of interesting little pockets for photos.  

 It was supposed to rain but it turned out to be a very hot day! We had a ton of fun rooting around the bushes and climbing on bridges again. Erica & Tyler were definitely up for whatever crazy suggestion we put to them. It is going to be a great wedding day for sure!!!

 Here are some of our favourites from the engagement session:

Ruth & Justin

There's a train over head!

One of the things we love about engagement shoots is getting to know the couples of whom we will be taking photos of on their BIG DAY. It lets them get to see how Brad and I work without the stressful time crunch of getting the photo session done in the limited amount of time between the wedding ceremony and the reception.

Brad and I also get to see what the couple is like. What they find funny. The limits they will go to get the shot.

Ruth and Justin are fearless! 

We took them to an active, iron railway bridge, had them climb up on the girders and THEN a train came over their heads! It was intense! But the shots speak for themselves. These two are a blast and we are really looking forward to September when we get to spend the whole day with them.

Check out the shots from that day and others like this in the Portraits section of the site.

cat & chris & slurpees

Cat & Chris know us through our other place of business. In case people don't know, Brad and I have a common day job as well as our photography.

These two awesome people are getting married out east this summer, but wanted us to do their session so they could show their Edmonton side off to their family and friends back home.

We started early at the Bunches in Parkallen where Cat workls part time. I'm glad I took my allergy pills!

We then moved into where Brad and I thrive. ALLEYS!

Behind Whyte Avenue on a Sunday morning, we found some new spots and Cat & Chris were more than game to let us try some stuff out.

Here is what we got. Check out similar shoots in the Portraits section of our page.

Enjoy!

Alex & Frank - Engagement Shoot

It seems only fitting on this day when everyone is reflecting about the sacrifices of our brave men and women in the armed services, that we get to highlight an engagement shoot we did for Alex & Frank.

Alex is a school teacher. Frank serves in the military. They met with us in August excited for their New Years Eve wedding and wanted dbphotograohics involved. In that meeting, they mentioned that they would love to have pictures of Frank in his dress uniform and that they wanted to do a nostalgic, 1940s photoshoot as their engagement session.

Brad & I lit up at the idea!

On a cold October day, we met at the Alberta Aviation Museum. Alex looked stunning. Frank very sharp. We had such a blast and I really think it came through in the photos.

I can't wait for their snowy, December wedding. Check out the Portraits section of the page for other sessions we have done.

Candace & Tony - One Year Before...

On August 18, 2012, Candace and Tony are getting married. For fun, we did their engagement shoot exactly one year to the day.

They were troopers. Brad and I took them up and down Whyte Ave. We went to some alleys and caught a beautiful post rain sunset.

The real fun was working with the great staff at Bistro La Persaud, Coney Island Candy and the Red Square Vodka House. We got to take over certain sections to get some cool photos.

Head over to the Portraits section of the site to see other shots from this session.

See you in a year, Candace & Tony!- dave
