Keisha & Neil | Wedding (Part 2)

The last day of Keisha & Neil’s wedding is very westernized. Today’s event is the reception and dinner, followed by lots of dancing. We stopped off at an Indian temple first to grab a few shots of Keisha and Neil before heading back to the reception hall.

Feels like we’re in India

Keisha & Neil | Wedding (Part 1)

I’ve always known that Indian weddings are a big affair, but when Serendipity-Photography asked me to join them on Keisha and Neil’s 3 day event, I was pretty surprised that 3 day weddings even exist. I started my shooting on day 2 of their grand wedding, which was filled with a horse, men carrying in the bride, and a beautiful yet elaborate ceremony. Here are some pictures:

Mei & Jason – Formal Session

I joined Serendipity Photography to shoot Mei & Jason’s Formal Session. The location was at Mei & Jason’s apartment complex. I was very surprised at how incredibly nice their apartment office was! Below are some of my favorite images from our session.

The Canadian Rockies

Regine has put Banff National Park on our to-do list for a while now. So we finally decided on visiting Banff as well as Jasper National Park this September. Banff and Jasper is probably one of the prettiest places that I’ve visited. Here are some of my favorite images from our trip.

Moraine Lake is my favorite place out of the trip.
