Lethbridge Portrait & Wedding Photography & Design by Tanya Plonka

I want to make a large post with my favorite Litwin shots of the year, but I couldn’t wait to do the one I shot today. It was my first time taking bridals at night (and Jan actually did it for the first time last night!), and it was so much fun! We only had 20 minutes of sunlight after their ceremony, which we worked quickly for, and the rest was done in the studio and outdoors. Thankfully it didn’t rain or snow, and we managed to avoid the wind. And what a gorgeous couple!

As you can tell, I’m trying to catch up on photos before I leave!

On Saturday Hope sent Sarah and I out to do aerial shots of a few branches throughout Alberta. It was the first time for both Sarah and me to do aerial photography and fly in a small plane, so what an experience! Hope’s cousin Josh was the pilot, and he was awesome to fly with. He was fun to be around and really good at what he does (oh it made the day less painful).

I was worried about motion sickness, so Hope got me sea-bands to wear. She tried to talk me into Gravol (it`s an anti-nauseant for those of you in the US), but that stuff knocks me out; Sarah has learnt it is very chemically similar to sleeping pills, which ironically don`t work for me!

Hope, James, and Jaxen saw us off. Jaxen was the only one okay with being up that early.

I haven’t put any photos in here in a while, and I need to do that… but for now, one from this weekend! It rained so much, and actually wasn’t raining at this particular moment, but I am so happy with the results:
