Jack and Ruby Photography by Kara Wieler and Becky Radtke

Well 2011 has come and gone…Kara ushered in the new year with sweet little Sarah and in typical Becky fashion, she didn’t even make it to midnight before she was snugly tucked in bed.  2011 was an amazing year for Jack and Ruby Photography, it was our first full wedding season working together on each and every shoot and we loved every minute of it!  Looking back on everything we shot in 2011 only one thing comes to mind “wow, are we lucky”.  Lucky to work with such amazing clients who trust our photographic vision enough to hire us for their most important day!

Over the next week we will take a look back at some of our faves from our 2011 shoots, starting with our special “anytime” shoots!  It was torturous trying to only pick one favourite from each shoot…but we forced ourselves to stick with one!

C’est L’amour – Cole and Des

Our first shoot of 2011 was probably one of our favorites and definitely the most anticipated!

Dove Tree

We were so excited to work with the lovely and talented Kari of Dove Tree Designs and the fellows of Paperback Films for this shoot….the results were breathtaking!  This goody hasn’t make it to the blog yet, but expect it early in 2012!

Up, Up and away – Krysten and Luke

What a work of heart this shoot was! Kara’s sister helped with our DIY hot air balloon, Krysten planned out the wardrobe so carefully and Kara and I slaved over getting that hot air balloon up a hill on one of the hottest days of the summer!  The results?  A favorite shoot from the summer of 2011.

A Family Affair – James, Kim & Co.

While we are normally not family photographers Kara’s sisters’s 10 year anniversary called for something VERY special!  We hit the road to Grand Beach and had a grand ole time with the Driedger family!

Back to School in Style!

Another shoot that came from lots of dreaming, scheming and hauling a whole truck load of pretty props out to the field!  We loved this back to school themed shoot with three very lovely girls!

It’s no wonder he fell in love with her.  She has a mega watt smile, an infectious laugh and she also has this way of making anyone feel comfortable spilling their dreams and troubles to her after meeting her for only a moment.

It’s no wonder she fell in love with him.  Those boyish good looks and his passion and excitement for life that makes it impossible not to have a good time when you’re around him!

Danielle and David’s love story has been unfolding for many years already and we were so honored to be the ones to capture this special day for them.  There were so many moments during the day that were so full of emotion – the few tears that escaped as David watched Danielle walk down the aisle with her mom and dad, the vows – which brought a few sweet tears and pauses from Danielle, the excitement as David and Danielle walked into the reception as husband and wife and the special father daughter dance that ended with a hug so powerful if you were watching you almost felt like you were being hugged!

It’s hard to believe there was more snow on the ground on the day of this November wedding than there is on the ground today!  With that fresh blanket of snow covering the city we just had to take advantage!  We ended off the photo session on the top of a downtown parkade with the lights of downtown sparkling behind us and the cheers of a Jets win coming from below!  Huge thanks to the awesome wedding party for braving the cold with us!

As always, it was a joy to work with the crew from Paperback Films again!  The excitement around the Same Day Edit they played at the reception was AMAZING!  Check out their blog to see it!
