Robin was a friend of mine who I would often photograph while he’s a work. That’s because he was a professional firefighter for the city, and I photographed many fires he attended while working for the local paper. As a bonus, I included a whole bunch of firefighting pictures on the disk.

The ceremony was near the beach at Jackfish Lake.

I like to take a break between the banquet and the dance and go out with the bride and groom to get sunset photos. In this case, the sun was setting nicely over the water. Sunset photos are always the keepers.

Karen and Rene had a cowboy themed wedding. It was held in a old church in a small town west of Battleford. The church was so old, it didn’t have any plumbing for washrooms!

Portraits were shot on a farm nearby with bales of straw.

Rene used his lariat to lasso one of his groomsmen, around the neck, no less.  He also lassoed the girl of his dreams.

I knew Greg’s dad, Wayne, from my work as the city hall reporter in North Battleford. He sat on several committees for the city. Wayne used to be a counter-intelligence RCMP officer and got a degree while doing surveillance on a C

hinese spy who was a professor.

This wedding was done in the georgeous United Church, which had a large pipe organ. It also has nice lighting in the sanctuary.

For fun, I had the bridal party give scores out of 10 for how well the bridal couple kissed, kind of like the judges in figure skating.

The Battlefords bridge and the road near it is one of my favourite spots to shoot. This wedding shows a bit of why.

At the very end of the gallery, you’ll see us at the ambulance base. Joanne was a paramedic, so she got to patch up her new hubby after driving over him with the ambulance!

You sweat a lot taking photos of summer weddings. This was the hottest wedding I’ve ever done. It was +32 C in the shade. I went through no less than five frozen bottles of water. I kept handing the bride and groom bottles of water too to keep them hydrated.

This was the largest wedding party I have ever done, by a long shot. Go ahead – count them!

The bridal procession was all ‘monster trucks’. Every one was a 4×4 with large tires and a serious lift.

Sharisse and Chris got married on Dec. 1. It was a very crisp day in Unity. As such, outdoor photos were out of the question.

I always ask the bride and groom to bring something that they love to do. In this case, it was cooking for Sharisse, computer games for Chris, and board games for both. Note the take-off of the Muppet’s Swedish Chef.

The bride and groom took dance lessons to ensure they could cut a rug properly.

Tina and Shawn had an October wedding. You’ll notice the tractor plays very prominently. Shawn’s grandfather was a John Deere dealer, and that was the first tractor he ever sold. They fixed it up in honour of him. Unfortunately, the grandfather died a few months later. The family asked for some prints of him, which I was happy to furnish.

I first started shooting weddings to pay for my deck. It was old, wrotten and large. My foot fell through it a few times. It took four years to tear down, rebuild and pay for. And when I was completely finished, I got a job offer to move to Estevan not six weeks later.

These weddings are my earliest work. My first was for my next door neighbour’s daughter. A few were family. One was even shot on film! As time went on, my experience and skill improved a great deal.

All these can be found on my galleries page, on the top menu. Here’s the link:
