Maryum & Daniel | Just a Peak
This is a couple introduced to me by a great friend of mine that is an incredibly creative lady. It was a pleasure to work with Stefanie.
I love it when a Bride & Groom want to feel the heart of the City on their Wedding Day! That is exactly what Maryum & Daniel had requested we had to take them to Stephen Avenue. What a great Saturday in Summer.........As we exited at Olympic Plaza the amazing Latin Festival vibes added to the atmosphere.

Glitz......Glam......Gianina! I love how much style this Bride has! A Vegas Wedding in the Rocky Mountains was the theme of the day! With Zebra Print, Red Satin, Black Ostrich Feathers to the Rhinestone Flasks, Cigars and Lottery Favors (I hope someone won Big!) setting the scene on Stunning Lake Louise! What a perfectly beautiful day!

Will & Kate: The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge | Part II
TOP SECRET!
Wednesday July5th...........Urgently needed to photograph some flowers before they are to be delivered Friday Morning! Absolutely!
Well what I later came to find out was that I was Photographing the Flowers that would be passed to Katherine that very day! As well as the special Bouquets for Will & Kate's Suite at the Hotel.
I Always love the Arrangements by Twigs & Co. but these were some of the most Stunning. I am sure some of you out there got a glimpse of the flowers passed to her by loving Canadians. I was able to appreciate the beauty of them within inches.....even getting to hold the very same bouquets that Kate would accept.
Here they are....

Product Photography: Twigs & Company
This is one of my most recent Clients that I have had the pleasure of working with.
Twigs & Company
is located in the heart of Calgary on the Historic Stephen Avenue. As you walk through the door into the Heritage Building that houses this amazing company you are greated with the aroma of the most exquisite flowers. Not only flowers but your senses will be mesmerized by their collection of seasonal gifts, Artistic Jewelry, Feminine Silk dresses and so many more items that it is worth just wandering around for a bit before making a selection.
Each of the following arrangements would make anyone smile!
Enjoy some of the Spring Collection! www.2create.ca
