Shaun & Mariana - The Ceremony, Bridal Party & Reception

I'm sorry. I'm being lame with the blogging. In all fairness, Christmas came fast and I wanted to spend every second with my family. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all the best in the New Year!

I want to thank you all for such a wonderful year. I've had the most amazing clients and sessions, and I can't wait to see what 2011 will bring.

Now, on to Shaun & Mariana's wedding...

Marriage made legal & lei exchange ceremony by Reverend Jill Carl

Matt, Shelby & the girls

Shelby and her family braved the cold with me a few weeks ago for their family photos, and it's a good thing we went when we did. We're now sitting at a balmy -35C (that's -31F, if you were wondering). It's amazing how Calgary can go from 5C to -35C back up to the +s (well, at least the forecast SAYS back to the +s) in a matter of weeks. Anyhow, thanks for braving the cold with me. Such a great family!!

Shaun & Mariana - Maui Wedding Part I {Getting Ready)

Everything about Shaun and Mariana's wedding was simply perfect.
I tried to narrow down the photos to a select few, but it just wouldn't do their wedding justice. So instead I'm going to break it up into parts.

Let's start with the wedding day preparations!
