Bebb Studios

While we were in Banff last month, photographing Sandy & Mark’s wedding, we had the chance to meet, and shoot, Stephanie & Michael. With their wedding taking place in Calgary, we didn’t have the chance to meet them before this session, and it was fantastic the way the four of us just clicked! Being able to sit and chat with clients, just like they are friends, is the best part of what we do.

After getting to know each other and chatting a bit about the wedding, we took Steph and Mike to a place we had discovered just that morning. Being able to work in different cities is so wonderful, because it forces us to find new locations, use different kinds of light, and challenge ourselves. And, in listening to Steph and Mike, we knew this location would be perfect for a low-key, down-to-earth style session.

Like many people, these two don’t love being in front of the camera (something I can relate to). So it was our job to help them relax and simply enjoy the moment, forgetting we were even there. I know that Steph and Mike want really natural and relaxed images on their wedding day, so their lifestyle session was all about helping them get comfortable with us, and it was more “directed” than their wedding day will be.

We love their images so much that we wanted to share them all with you. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show we put together. The music is one of our favorite tracks by Daniel Ho, and you can find it at Triple Scoop Music. Use the code bebbmusic and you will get a discount too!

Stef & Mike – I can’t wait for your wedding day! I know it’s going to be amazing and I am so excited to be able to be there with you both!

If you are staring at your screen right now, a confused look on your face, that’s ok.  Things look a little different than they did, just a few days ago. We’ve had a facelift  and the blog is the first part of the more comprehensive change we’re making.

It’s still a blog, a place where we will share all the things we are up to, all the weddings we photograph, and more. You can follow us on twitter and join our facebook page by clicking on the tabs to the left of the screen. Feel free to check all the links out – we’ll be adding more as time goes on.

Our contact page is now fully integrated with our studio management software, which we are really excited about. We’re still building a few things, and finalizing our overall look.  And the old blog, which we loved, is not gone, simply relocated. You can find it here: www.bebbblog.com/blog We moved over a lot of information and posts, but we weren’t able to move them all, or all of your wonderful comments. So we decided to ensure the old blog is still accessible, at least for the next while. Of course, you can always leave new comments on this blog – we do love getting comments!

Now that the blog is almost done, we’re setting our sites on a brand new website. We’ve been working on a new site for a while, and we’re finally getting closer to what we want. As soon as it is live, you’ll be the first to know!

Most importantly, we want you to sit back, relax and enjoy yourself while you’re here! And come back often too!

I know I say this every year, but we have the most fantastic, funky, and fun loving clients ever! And Kathlene and RJ are definitely all three of those – especially fantastic!

With their wedding coming up at the end of this month, we are so excited to share their Lifestyle Session with you all. Or at least, a very small portion of it! Steve took Kathlene and RJ to a couple of very special locations, including the very bench where they got engaged!

Rather than keep you waiting, let’s just show you how fantastic these two are:

Our Lifestyle sessions have long been associated with newly engaged couples and, in fact, until last fall, nearly all our sessions had been done in that vein. But then we started to notice a new trend, one that seems to be growing quickly: Lifestyle Sessions are not just for the newly engaged, but are for any couple that just wants incredible imagery of themselves, as they are, right now.

Almost everyone has someone there to photograph their wedding, but how many of us actually take the time to have professional photos made of just ourselves, as a couple? Steve and I have had the good fortune to be photographed by some of the industrys’ best, as we treasure those images. And we believe, that the time for photos of a couple should never be just around a wedding day, but at anytime.

So when Kirstie (of Orange Girl Photographs) gave us a call, I was so excited to work with her and Kevin.

Kirstie and Kevin have an exceptional story, which is not mine to tell, but which would bring you to tears. Suffice to say that they are both artists and they come to us with open hearts and the desire for photography that was uniquely them. And, most importantly, they understand the value of having these photos made!

Coming to Vancouver in our unpredictable winter is brave enough, but to then ask for images in the forest – well that’s plain crazy. Not to mention cold and wet! But forest was what they wanted and forest is what we gave them. It was off to a magical location to spend some time looking into their hearts.

Steve shot this session and we are both so proud to have it come from our studio! When given the freedom to explore who are couples are and how we relate to them, that is when the magic really begins. It was a trio, working together, as client and photographer, to move outside the norm and into the place where art truly starts. And for that experience, Steve is immensely grateful to Kirstie and Kevin.

Here are just a few of the images that moved us:

Kirstie and Kevin, your open hearts and sincerity truly touched us both. We hope that we were able to give you everything you wanted and more. You are both a gift to us, and we are grateful for your friendship and support.

Our thanks and our love…

In just 10 days, we are going to be working with Alicia and Alex on their wedding day. There are so many things we want to tell you all about their wedding, but we’re going to wait and surprise you once it’s over. Let’s just say that we’ve seen the itinerary, and this wedding is going to ROCK!

A few weeks ago, Steve took Alicia and Alex out for their Lifestyle Session. One of the things we like to do is really get a sense of each couple’s personality during these sessions…well, wait until you see this! We have been blessed this year, with clients who place their total trust in Steve and I, and we can’t thank them all enough for allowing us to make images that surprise and captivate them.
Here are just a few…
