Wedding - Scott & Nikki
This wedding has to rank up there with one of the best weddings I've ever had the pleasure of photographing, for many reasons. Scott and Nikki have got to be two of the most genuine, kind, and wonderful people in the world. I loved hanging out with them the entire day, as did my second shooters that day, Jackie Hutchinson and my brother Brad. This was the first wedding I have been able to shoot with my brother so that was a great experience as well.
Scott is my wife Arlene's cousin so there is the family connection. I got to enjoy the day from both sides...as a shooter and as family. It was pretty cool to be snapping away and look over and see my two daughters smiling from their table as Daddy did his work!
After the girls and guys finished getting ready in the morning, Scott and Nikki chose to see each other before the ceremony and we arranged for Nikki to "sneak up" on Scott in a beautiful pathway that had a great canopy of trees covering the path. We battled the rain a little bit then and for most of the day but it never dampened the fun we all had.
After the ceremony at the Derrick Golf and Winter Club, we got to visit a wonderful downtown restaurant called Characters for drinks and pics. The staff there were very kind in letting us hang out for a little while, even though they were between the lunch and dinner service and not really open for business. They even went so far as to open up their downstairs rooms so we could take some awesome images of Scott and Nikki while the bridal party relaxed upstairs.
Good luck with law school and living in Calgary, Scott and Nikki!
