Oh, what a cutie! I love it when my clients call me right away within the first two weeks of babies being born... They never look like this again, so it's so good to capture it all.

Sydney (the dog) couldn't come to the studio today, so baby got all the attention.  And what a cutie he is!  Rob says he'll get into soccer lessons as soon as he can walk!  Right Rob?

Here's some cute images of the little guy and his family...

No better place to be, eh Grayson?

I love these:

We were trying to get him with his eyes open and this was all we could do for a while...

Thank you for bringing by this wonderful little guy.  I look forward to getting to know him over the next few years.

This past week was one of those weeks where I got to reconnect with a lot of my past wedding clients.  I love it when that happens... Babies, babies everywhere!

Here's my beautiful Melodie and TJ with sweet little Kylie...

Hot stuff, Melodie!

I love these next few...

 I simply love these next few too...

Thanks for keeping in touch, guys!  Let's do this again!

Jen emailed me a few weeks ago asking if we could put our differences aside no that the World Cup is over and get together to do their engagement pictures.  You see, it's not that we ever HAD differences, but the World Cup brings out the patriotic in all of us, immigrants or sons and daughters of immigrants... And the Portugal and Brazil game was just... well, never mind.

 

It's ok though, I love Jen, so it wasn't really that hard to put our differences aside...

 

We headed out to Lilac Resort which is where Joel and Jen met - they used to spend their summers there as kids and it brings back good memories.

 

Here's some of the images.  I'll just say that we had some sweeeeet light around 7:30pm and here's the images to prove it!

Here's Katie & Anthony's Video Fusion:

Katie & Anthony from Patty Boge on Vimeo.

Thanks to Natalie for the fabulous job on the video snippets!

What a day!  I woke up to thunderstorms, lightning, drizzle, sunshine - just a good old Summer Weather mix-bag...  The thing is, I didn't worry one bit... Katie is possibly the most organized person - and had the Conservatory booked ahead of time, because she knows that you just can't trust the weather in Manitoba.  I love that! 

Katie and Anthony are absolutely beautiful inside and out.  I met Katie first and fell in love with her instantly. And you will too.  

Here's her beautiful bouquet:

And here she is... Seriously...

 I love their expressions here:

 The guys really wanted to do this, as you can see:

 This was one very excitable bunch:

 Apparently Jenn likes making funny faces!

Look at these eyes:

Katie's make-up by Two Chicks and a Bag of Make-Up 

Anthony likes jungles...

Katie and Anthony really enjoyed the Thunderstorm that raged above us during the shoot while inside The Conservatory, we were nice and dry.

Then the sky cleared out just long enough for us to get some more fabulous-ity (I just made up a new word). 

Isn't this just the cutest thing?

Then the rain came again:

Well, wouldn't you know that Katie has the same chandelier obsession that I have?

And Paul Haverstock from The Hotel Fort Garry let us in the Atrium for a few quick minutes... and that's all I needed:

Sam (the ring bearer) loves playing guitar.  Can you tell?

Some more details of the Reception Venue:

And Katie, this one is for you and also for me:

Dan, Anthony's brother, was dying to have this shot... He kept asking me all day... There you go, Dan!  I should let you all know that Dan is a photographer in Calgary (www.crimsontreephoto.com) and possibly the politest professional photographer I've ever had in a wedding party.  He kept his camera tucked away all day long - knowing it's just not cool to shoot alongside the hired professional.  Dan, you're definitely one of a kind and I thank you profusely!

Katie and Anthony, you're so in love and it shows... I'm just lucky I got to be there capturing it all for posterity.

Many many blessings and immense joy forever!

My friend Sam - whom I've known forever (we were roommates back when we lived in Toronto) asked me to try this new thing... a photo shoot with her friend Justine for The Lifestyle Pass.  If you don't have the Lifestyle pass, you need one!  It's the reason I try out so many healthy living choices in Winnipeg for free! Check it out here.

This is a quick video of some of the images we got.  Sam directed the shoot, Justine acted it out beautifully and all I had to do was point my camera at her... I kid you not!  The idea was to portray someone living life to the fullest.  I think the song is just perfect!

Here's Leanora and Jared's Video Fusion.  Thank you so much to my fabulous friend, Jeremy Dueck, for taking a perfectly good Saturday and making it even more perfect!  Jeremy took the day off to spend it shooting Leanora & Jared's wedding with me.  He did all of the video snippets and some candid portraits as well.  Thank you thank you thank you, my friend!

 

Onto the video!

Leanora & Jared from Patty Boge on Vimeo.

 

 

 

Leanora is one of those women that could have walked out of a movie set any day of the week.  She has this walk, this look, this talk... Now imagine that on a wedding day! Yep, here she is!

 

 

The whole day had this feeling about it... Romantic...

 

 

 

 

And when Jared saw her for the first time, I'm thinking he felt the same way:

 

 

 

Breezy Bend was the venue  and they did a fabulous job decorating the place where the ceremony would take place, outside.  So fabulous in fact, we couldn't resist doing some relaxed portraits there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The greatest thing about seeing each other before the ceremony, is that the couple gets a whole hour on their wedding day, all by themselves... I think that's absolutely priceless!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And in case you were wondering, this is what I look like on a good day!

 

 

 

 

To get this shot:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Girls are girls...  These ones were a LOT of fun!

 

 

 

The boys were also having just a little bit of fun...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this following shot:

 

 

 

 

And this is me, being very very helpful on the wedding day...

 

 

 

Then, we went off to the canola fields but the rain had just started and someone thought this was a very bad idea, right Matt?

 

 

 

Jeremy caught this sweet moment:

 

 

The staff at Breezy Bend, again, amazing.

 

 

 

 

I love this part.  I always say that the speeches is where it's at.  This is where all the good, the bad and the ugly comes out and the true emotion shows.  My couples rarely even notice that I'm firing away, capturing every emotion.

 

 

 

 

 

Matt's Best Man speech was one of the best Best Man speeches that I've ever heard.   And most agreed, as you can see...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dance was so beautiful...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then Christian tore up the dance floor, almost literally... 

 

 

 

I just love this next shot of Leanora...

 

 

 

 

 

What a marvelous day this was, Leanora and Jared.  Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of it.

 

I feel like I made friends that day, that will forever be a part of my life.

The only thing better than photographing someone's wedding, is becoming their lifelong photographer.  Though this hardly qualifies as life-long (only 3 years after their wedding), I'm honoured that when it came time to record life as it is, before their first baby, Natalie and Rob asked me to be the one to do that.

They brought Sidney along and we had a lovely morning at the park - plus or minus a few hundred mosquitoes. 

Natalie, you look beautiful!  Your child will be happy you recorded this moment.

We tried to keep things very casual as rule #1 for Natalie and Rob is NO POSING!  I love it!

Thank you Natalie and Rob for the call.  I'll be seeing you all plus one in a few weeks.  Can't wait!

Ok, not Gaga, but Gorgeous!  You're not so bad yourself, Greg!

 I love it when I get the annual call from the Rock'n Roll preacha and his very gorgeous sidekick, Marlo (who's the sidekick, actually?) from The Greg and Marlo show on CJOB every Saturday and Sunday.

 This time we did an Urban theme, at sunset.  Just beautiful!  Well, see it for yourself.

Sir, you clean up quite nicely!

Tools of the trade:

 I get great reactions from these guys... I guess this is what it looks like in the studio too!

LIke this:

Vanna White you say?  Nah, way cuter!

 Ooooh, hello!

Thanks guys, let's do this more than once a year!
