Congrats to Cameron and Bobbi, who were married in Lethbridge down among all the trees in the river valley. I just photographed their engagement session only one week before their wedding and that was a really cold day. Oh, actually, it was more of a family session, since they brought along their son Laylin, whom I accidentally called Lilly, the poor guy. Hopefully he’ll forgive me one day. 
Fortunately, on their wedding day the weather was so much nicer! It wasn’t even windy!
We were there for the whole day for this wedding, from the time the dresses went on for the bride and groom, to the dancing. (Sorry, bad kilt joke). 
I loved the colours in their house! Check out the red! When I first started I noticed that one of Bobbi’s bridesmaids was really avoiding the camera. So I said, “Trust me! It’s my job to make you look good.” And then I took the overlapped-face image (third down) and showed it to them. I don’t think she trusted me for the rest of the day after that. Lol! But it was too cool a shot to pass up. 
But everyone was very easy to get along with. Cameron and Bobbi were definitely one of our most laid-back couples we’ve ever had—not stressing about anything and just trusting me to do whatever I liked for the portraits. The one thing they asked for was a photo with the VW Beetle, which was a good idea anyways.
The sun was starting to set when we went into the family portraits, but just after we finished it popped out of the clouds for a spectacular last show of golden light and I jumped at the chance to get a few romantic portraits of Cameron and Bobbi before it dropped behind the horizon.
Their reception was held in Coalhurst and after several moving speeches and the formal dances the kids rushed out onto the dance floor and we there for the rest of the night. I love weddings where people get up and dance. Oh, and check out the photo of Bobbi teaching her bridesmaids how to do the YMCA. 
Enjoy your blog preview, guys. All the best.
P.S. Thanks to Trent Ernst for being my second photographer! Three of the below images are his. You’ll have to guess which ones.
