Devon + Erin : Calgary Engagement Shoot

The forecast says rain? I shut my computer and looked at it as if it`s prediction had been of it`s own doing, and not just because of Calgary`s famous weather changes. Sitting in our little hotel room in Banff, in the then 17 degree sunny weather, I e-mailed Erin and wrapped my head around a rainy day inspired engagement shoot. Being  a good sport like Erin always is she got excited about a cute pink polka dot umbrella Devon had bought her  (awe).

We arrived in Calgary the next morning and although overcast and a bit brisk,it had not rained yet. Since I had prepared for rain I challenged it to rain and was actually looking forward to the 10mm of rain that had been predicted. It did rain....then it poured... and 2.5 hours later when we drove home we were right in the middle of 8 inches of snow. It was a  blizzard! I have to give props to our cute couple because they were literally soaked through, and freezing by the end. You know that feeling when your are so wet and cold that you can walk through a puddle that is past your ankle and not even notice or care? That`s about where we were. I also must say I love my husband and business partner Kel. He carried all my gear, kept me going, and more importantly kept the camera equipment working! In the end the shoot turned out a little magical. We were inspired by Nicholas Sparks to begin with, and I think we had a few `Notebook` moments ( what girl has not wanted to kiss while completely soaked through in the rain). Here are a few of the shots of Devon and Erin keeping each other warm in Calgary. Can`t wait for your big day guy`s and Congratulations. Devon`s Ryan Gosling esque moment
