John & Laurie

23 Jun 2008

I think almost everyone has either seen the Banff Springs Hotel on the travel programs, or visited it themselves, and stood in awe of the majestic building and grounds. Well yesterday I was lucky enough to be photographing a wedding there for John & Laurie! Perry & I pulled up at the front of the building, and quite seriously, my heart was pounding.. it was a dream of mine to photograph a wedding there.. and it’s also attached to another dream of mine.. which I won’t share on here, LOL!

We took photos around the Banff Springs Hotel, as well as the old parks Canada building. There was a young female photographer who was in the same grounds taking some photos… and we were rather close by, and for her next shot, she asked if the couple could walk away from her, quite a distance, and she was just standing there, so I went up near to her (about 2 metres away) and said, “you couldn’t ask for a more beautiful place to take photos could you?”. She just stood there and pretended I wasn’t there. I couldn’t believe it. I know that photographers get funny about people shooting in their territory, but that was just absurd. Photographers - look after other photographers!

I will tell a bit more about the day with the photos…

enjoy the photos!

Well folks, as usual, there are so many more that I could have shared. I am thinking about getting that show it web program that allows you to run short slideshows on your blog. What do you think?

Remember to add me to your facebook to see more photos!

Where is your dream location to be married?

  • An absolutely stunning dress
  • The shoes on the Ice holder. Find out what the rules are, then break them!
  • John & Laurie saw each other before the ceremony, and this is when we did our photos! Such a wonderful idea if you are getting married later in the evening and want to party!
  • I love photographing in the mountains
  • I want one - a banff springs hotel that is...
  • This guy was such a character!
  • This kid was awesome.. the girls were getting him to dance like this..and he just kept doing it.. I was in hysterics behind my camera.
