Changing Focus

Hey all,
As you can see, things have slowed down with regards to my regularity of postings on this blog.  I'm having difficulties keeping on top of all of the various social media outlets, and as such, have made the decision to put on hold any further blog postings in order to focus on Facebook and other social media.  So, until further notice, please like my Facebook page to the right so that you can keep posted any wedding photography, engagement photography, or family portraits I may be doing.  Also, I'll be posting images of any event photography I do, and also of course, throwing a couple images of action sports photography once in a while.

I am in the process of creating a new "division" within the Kyle Hamilton Photography umbrella, and that is custom framing.  I will be posting news and specials for the custom framing on the Kyle Hamilton Photography facebook page as well, so be sure to follow along for any awesome deals!

Sincerely,
Kyle

Keith & L'Wren- Fernie Engagement Photography

Keith and L'Wren are super troopers.  We had a bit of deadline to get these images done; they both needed to get to work, and they needed the photos done so that they could send out their invitations.  There was not going to be any chance for rescheduling.  We were shooting these images, rain or shine.  Or snow.  Yes, its the end of April, but that didn't stop Mother Nature from deciding it was a great day for a blizzard to blow through Fernie!  With towels and tissues to keep make-up, camera's, lenses, and flashes dry, we plowed through this session.  At times, the snow was coming down so hard, I could barely see them through my camera lens.  

Engagement Photos: Sherry and Daniel

The world is a small place.  This spring I got a call from Sherry, she is getting married in Fernie at the end of the summer, and needs a wedding photographer.  I still hadn't booked the date, so I offered to meet with them and discuss how I might be of service.  We met at Picnic Restaurant in Fernie, and after getting through some of the wedding day details, I asked how they met.  Well, she moved to New Zealand for 6 months of study, and met a boy, and finally left 5 years later.  I've been to N.Z. so I asked them where they were.  They were in Hamilton.  I too lived just outside of Hamilton for awhile, so we chatted about this and that, and Daniel mentioned that he worked at an apiary, and said I did too for awhile.  The conversation kind of drifted a bit, and Sherry suddenly asked where I lived exactly.  I said with my dad's cousin, and her husband.  They lived on one side of Lake Karapiro, but were building a house on the other side, they had bought some land, and were moving house... she interrupted and asked what I did for work while I was there.  I explained that my dad's cousin's husband ran an apiary (bee farm), and worked for him.  Sherry and Daniel looked at each other, and Daniel asked, "Your nickname isn't Milky is it?"  Floored, I said no, but that is what they named my buddy that I went over there with!  Apparently Daniel had worked for my dad's cousin for 2 years!

Well, that pretty much sealed the deal, and so here are some images from our engagement session.

Enjoy!
