The Coles'
Story
Sean & Kyle came to me before they were even engaged and placed a large emphasis on authenticity and intimacy.
Engagement Photoshoot
Their newly built home in Calgary
Sean is the type of girl that knows exactly what she wants. When she came across my work, she wasted no time letting me know that I was going to be her wedding photographer. The plot twist: her then-boyfriend Kyle hadn’t even proposed yet (but we all knew it was coming). By the time Kyle proposed, she had already basically planned out their entire wedding - photography included.
As someone with an online presence, Sean wasn’t particularly nervous about being on camera on her wedding day, but she mentioned that Kyle, like most men, was a little camera shy, and would really benefit from experiencing a professional photoshoot before their wedding.
The biggest compliment I can get is when a self-proclaimed camera shy client later says that the engagement photoshoot was enjoyable, so Kyle - thank you for that!
Sean and Kyle wanted to capture a cozy in home engagement photoshoot in the first home that they bought and built together in Calgary. Even in the previews that were sent same-day, they both made sure to let me know how much they found that the photos represented their true relationship. <3
If we could give Noam more than 5 stars, we would.
When we first hired her, we thought we were getting an incredible photographer. What we didn't expect was to gain a friend.
From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Noam made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She has this rare ability to make you forget you're being photographed while somehow capturing every emotion, every little glance, every in-between moment that matters most.
When we received our gallery, we were just in awe and spent two hours of our Saturday morning just reliving the entire day all over again. The photos are stunning, but what makes them so special is how they feel. Looking through them brings us right back to those moments. P.S. The gallery delivery was FAST!
Beyond her talent, Noam is simply an incredible human. She's warm, thoughtful, calming, and genuinely cares about the people she works with. By the end of this experience, she felt less like a vendor and more like someone we were genuinely excited to have celebrate alongside us.
Noam, thank you for documenting one of the most important days of our lives so beautifully. These photos will be treasured for decades, and we're so grateful our paths crossed.
Here's to helping other brides and couple mark their moments.
Sean, Kyle & Bentley 🤍
Wedding Day Overview
At The Fairmont Palliser in Calgary
Sean and Kyle were married at The Fairmont Palliser Hotel in Downtown Calgary.
They didn’t want to compromise the big altar reveal and do a first look, but still wanted their wedding photographer to capture portraits early on so that they could spend their wedding day together with guests and family. By photographing many portraits prior to the wedding ceremony (while keeping the two of them separated) I was able to spend most of the day being the fly-on-the-wall documentary style wedding photographer that they desired.
The day was filled with truly beautiful and emotional storytelling. The biggest obstacle of my day was wiping my eyes of tears so that I could see the photos I was taking while they exchanged the most beautiful vows I have ever heard.
