June has been an interesting month for Edmonton wedding photographers battling with unpredictable weather and lots of rain. This past Friday I joined Chantel & Matt for their lovely wedding at the Country Lodge which is on the edge of the city in Edmonton.  The Country Lodge has a very warm and rustic feel and is quite cozy inside. There’s a pretty spot for outdoor wedding ceremonies too. It had been a few years since I had photographed a wedding at the Country Lodge (All the way to back to 2009 for Chris & Lexie’s wedding actually!) and boy had things changed around there. The venue used to be surrounded by fields and forests and I had a quite a surprise when I arrived finding it was basically right beside the new highway… although we still managed to find some pretty spots to tuck into for photos even after all that rain earlier in the day. It pretty much poured until about 15 minutes before the ceremony started… whew, we were lucky! It just took a quick wipe down of the chairs and we were set for the outdoor ceremony.

This is one of my favourite photos from Chantel & Matt’s “formal” photo session before we all wilted from the sun that finally came out. It’s just a little trail off of the side of the road with pretty light that was just perfect for this photo. You can’t tell… but at this point Chantel had kicked off her shoes and was going barefoot
