Canadian Rockies Couples shoot – Sydney & Dan

As a photographer who likes to travel, I am always on the lookout for beautiful and unique locations to capture unforgettable moments. Recently, I had the opportunity to do a series of short couples photoshoots in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, and let me tell you, it was an experience I won’t soon forget!

Canadian Rockies Couples shoot Spots

The Canadian Rockies are full of stunning locations for photoshoots, and we made sure to take advantage of as many as possible. One of the first spots we visited was the Three Sisters mountains. These mountains, located just outside of Canmore, Alberta, are an iconic landmark in the area and provide a breathtaking backdrop for photos. We initially planned on using the Three Sisters as the main focus of the shoot, but unfortunately, the weather wasn’t cooperating that day. Despite this, we were able to use the beautiful nearby lake and surrounding mountains to create some truly stunning images.

Another location we visited was Lake Minnewanka. This glacial lake is located in Banff National Park, and its crystal-clear water and stunning mountain backdrop make it the perfect location for a photoshoot. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather while we were there, which allowed us to capture some truly breathtaking images.

Three Sister’s Photoshoot

When we arrived at the lake in front of the Three Sisters, we were disappointed to find that the weather was too cloudy to see the mountains. However, we didn’t let that stop us from capturing some amazing photos! Instead, we focused on using the lake and surrounding area to create beautiful and unique images.

We captured shots of the couple walking along the shore, traipsing about in the fields, and making sure they were both smiling the entire time! The fog and mist that rolled in during the shoot added a dreamy and romantic feel to the photos, and the couple’s beaming smiles made the images even more beautiful.

Lake Minnewanka Photoshoot

Our Lake Minnewanka photoshoot was truly magical. The weather was perfect, with bright sunshine and clear blue skies. We started the shoot on the shore of the lake, capturing shots of the couple walking hand-in-hand along the rocky beach. As the shoot progressed, we decided to get a little more adventurous and persuaded the couple to wade out to a small island in the middle of the glacier runoff. The couple was a little hesitant at first, but once they saw the amazing views from the island, they were all in!

The photos we captured on the island were some of my favorites from the entire shoot. The couple stood on the rocky shore, surrounded by the stunning blue water and towering mountains in the distance. The contrasting colors of the water and rocks created a beautiful and unique color palette, and the couple’s love for each other was evident in every shot.

I can confidently say that the Canadian Rockies are one of the most stunning locations for couples photoshoots. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to capture some amazing images in this breathtaking part of the world during this Canadian Rockies couples shoot. The Three Sisters and Lake Minnewanka are just two of the countless locations in the area that provide a stunning backdrop for unforgettable memories.

Vancouver’s Capilano River Couple Shoot – Clancy & Rob

I was super lucky to have had the opportunity to head over to Canada for a bit of photo shooting in amongst the incredible scenery on offer in Canmore and Banff! But on the way home I spent a few days in and around North Vancouver with Clancy and Rob!

Most of these photos were taken in and around the Capilano River Regional Park in North Vancouver.

 

Vancouver’s Capilano River Couple Shoot

Clancy and Rob’s Capilano River Couple Shoot began at the top of the canyon area, where we walked over the huge Cleveland Dam. The water was quite low in the gorge below, so we were not only able to make the most of the incredible pine trees on display along the paths, but also the rocky outcrops that would otherwise be under water if it were to be flowing more heavily.

It was a rather hot day for Canada – well from my experience anyway! and as we began at the top,and walked down to the water level – we had to walk all the way to the top again, which was pretty hard going! once we had our fill of photos we head to a local Sushi shop for lunch 🙂

The last few photos in this collection were taken the day after on a short trip up to Whistler, but the majority are from the Capilano River Couple Shoot!

Pt Willunga Proposal – Melissa & Malith

Malith certainly timed his proposal to Melissa perfectly with an incredible sunset on the famed Pt Willunga beach.

His secretive Pt Willunga Proposal was maticulously planned by Malith leading up to the big moment, and oh my goodness, some of the scenes were just incredible!

Pt Willunga Proposal

The biggest concern for any of us leading up to the big moment was the weather – as both leading up to and beyond the day Malith planned his big Pt Willunga Proposal, the weather was pretty bad, and the tides during the winter is often so high that there isn’t much beach to stand on at Pt Willunga. But all that worrying was for nothing as the evening could not have gone any better.

Despite a bit of a hiccup having Melissa and Malith arrive a bit later than expected due to being served a rather late lunch in nearby Mclaren Vale, Malith proposed in front of a delightful little arbour set up put together by a small company sepcialising in this sort of thing – Fox Meets Charlie.

The fun part of the whole set up was trying to keep Melissa in the dark as they walked towards the arbour set up, with the group of us standing nearby ready to pounce and start taking photos/video as the big moment happened. Surpisingly Melissa had no idea until Malith presented the ring and everyone was all smiles :).

After the big moment, then we went off for a lbit of a walk along the beach to take some pretty photos in front of the amazing sunset and what many consider to be the most photographed beach in South Australia!

Congratulations go out to Melissa and Malith!

Recent Southern Adelaide Winter Minishoot Results!

Last weekend, I found myself with no weddings booked so I figured it would be neat to offer my services at a very cheap rate in what’s known as a ‘minishoot’ or mini session. It was one week prior to mother’s day so I figured it might be a fun way to get some nice photos of the family for Mum!

The best thing about a mini shoot is that it’s really geared for people who aren’t overly keen on being in front of a camera, as the session only lasts for 15 minutes – and if the photos dont turn out as expected – ie the little one was upset, or the dog wasn’t looking, etc – then it’s no big deal as it was not that expensive!

It’s also great for people who want some nice family photos done, but don’t want to spend too long getting them!

The mini shoot was an up front cost of $65, which included the shoot and editing of the photos before being supplied via my online store, and each shoot received a $30 credit to spend – making the whole thing effectively only $35 and you get to go home with either some prints, or digital files – however you’d like to spend that $30 credit!

As a result, the sessions booked up fast, with 12 bookings coming in – the majority being young couples, with little kidlets in tow, but also a few couples and whole families. I held the shoot at the Cherry Garden’s Soldier’s Memorial Gardens with the aim of using the autumnal colours from the falling leaves with the park, while also making use of the impressive memorial trees that cast quite a bit of shade.

Each booking received an average of 54 photos in their album to choose from – which surprised myself, as generally I like to have 100 photos done for an hour photo shoot, let alone 15 minutes – but I guess that’s the benefit of a minishoot, it means that i am familiar with the surrounds and know what will work when for each group coming through. I can then use this knowledge to move quickly and get each shot.

All in all, I think the winter minishoot results speak for themselves – the autumnal colours of the leaves, and the happy smiling faces of each group really made for an awesome experience, that I’d be looking forward to doing again in the future – I’m thinking Christmas? Watch this space.

Little Ones

All the little ones who came through were really well behaved and quite enjoyed being in front of the camera! This made things rather easy, as the surrounding autumn leaves did the rest making for some awesome shots!

Family

The autumn leaves also made for some nice family portraits. I had the family groups walking through the trees, sitting on the dry leaves and basically treating their time with me as if it were a quick family outing to a nice park.

I had two sets of couples come through, which was treated as a simple date idea, and they got some nice photos out of it at the end!

As far as winter minishoot results go, I feel as though we got some incredible photos, using the stunning natural light that filtered through the autumn leaves nicely. If there was one thing I would have done differently would be to schedule the last session a biut earlier as the light was fading quite a bit – but we still got some great shots!

Belair Train Station Engagement Shoot – Emma & Stephen

Emma and Stephen wanted to show off their love for one another with a Belair Train Station Engagement Shoot before their big day at Mt Barker’s Auchendarroch House.

With Stephen travelling half away across the world from the US to see Emma after several long years apart due to the dastardly effects of the COVID pandemic, they were finally able to be together so they wanted to celebrate as soon as possible!

Emma was in two minds throughout the day about whether or not to head out that night for their engagement shoot due to the weather in the morning being less than spectacular. Thankfully the weather cleared up during the day and we all head out for what turned out to be a beautiful evening.

Belair Train Station Engagement Shoot

We began Emma and Stephen’s Belair Train Station Engagement shoot in amongst the station’s historic platform and waiting shelter where we made use of the beautiful ‘Belair’ writing on the wooden structure and the delightful parallel lines leading all over the place makeing for some lovely scenes.

As Emma had explained before heading out, she had not seen Stephen for several years prior to their engagement shoot, so these two were full of lovey-dovey hugs and kisses all evening, which made my job that much easier!

As we set out during golden hour, we wanted to make the most of the golden hues of the sun streaming in through the majestic gum trees that make up the Belair National Park. We went for a little walk just behind the Belair Train Station to make use of this amazing setting!

Just as we were wrapping up, and having a chat with a group of joggers who had just finished their excersises, a freight train thundered past the Belair Train Station platform, so we quickly jumped in front of it for a bit of a photo! The train operator obviously had a bit of a ssense of humour and made sure to be seen throughout. 🙂

Looking forward to being your wedding photographer in March Emma and Stephen! Hopefully these photos will tide you over until then!
