Wedding Photo Locations in Winnipeg: Part 2

Gabrielle — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:13:03 +0000

As part of my blog series on photo locations for weddings in Winnipeg, I’ve been featuring a location at a time in different posts. Today’s feature location is my photo studio in the heart of the Exchange District. Hardwood floors, tons of studio lights, backdrops, furniture and props, plus my favourite: great big windows with white sheer curtains facing South/East. What’s even better for my wedding clients is that it’s a free location when booking with me – a great spot to go in case of rain, or just for a different look. It’s centrally located, and usually a short stop on the way to or from other locations.

If you aren’t a wedding client of mine, but are still getting married and would like the option of booking the studio, just give me a call or send me an e-mail. (204.998.6603 or studio @ egabrielle.com)

Here are some highlights from recent weddings & an engagement session…

Impromptu Portrait Photography

Yesterday I took the morning off from editing and met up with my friend (and fellow photographer) Kristina for breakfast at the Black Sheep Diner (my favourite breakfast place in Winnipeg!) followed by some fun portrait shooting in my studio. Both being Nikon shooters, we shared lenses and took portraits of each other in window light and with the studio lights as well. It was pretty much the best way to take a day away from the computer screen! Here are some of my favourite snapshots of Kristina from the shoot.

Natural Window Light Portraits

Here are a few more shots from a session in my new studio back in January with my brother and his friends. This collection of photos is with natural light – the windows and space in that studio creates wonders. Can’t wait to do more window-light shooting!

Family Photography – Candid Shots with the Pletts

On Sunday I had the pleasure of shooting family photos for my cousins-in-law and their adorable family. After postponing the shoot several times due to the weather, we finally got a gorgeous day with plenty of sun and warmth. I met them at their new house, and did a quick shoot in their backyard. Andrew was as adventurous and excited as a 2-year old can be and Corrie was an adorable new addition to their cute family. After getting the standard family pose, I let them run around and just be themselves to catch some candid photos of the family. Here are some of my favourites. Congratulations guys on your new house! It was nice to see you guys and to meet Corrie!

Cute little Théo – Newborn Photography

Danielle & Joël got married last year on August 9, and this year on August 15 little Théo made his appearance after 9 months of expectancy. I’ve had a lot of fun photographing Danielle and Joël over the past 3 years (from fun girly portrait shoots with Danielle, to their engagement session, then their wedding…) and now it was my absolute joy to photograph their new son. WHAT AN ADORABLE NEWBORN!! This little guy has some serious good looks (not surprised, his parents have always made great models for my camera!). And for being only 13 days old yesterday, I was so ecstatic to be able to capture so many attentive looks. He loves looking at bright windows (perfect for me!) and seemed to enjoy the click of my shutter. I’ve been glued to my computer since the shoot yesterday, and I finally have photos to post. I’ve heard from my sister that Danielle keeps checking my blog for an update… I usually don’t blog photos before handing the digital negatives to my clients, but this one’s an exception! (Je sais que t’attends pour les photos, Danielle) :)

These photos were all taken at my house yesterday, and I’ve got to say that, being a natural light photographer, I’m pretty happy about my porch and dining room. I’m definitely investing in a space heater so that I can use the porch for shoots in the winter!

Félicitations Danielle et Joël, votre petit gars est adorable !!
