Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Theresa & Rob | winter wedding sneak peek

Saturday, January 5th, 2013

I ended my wedding season on December 30th this year at Theresa & Rob’s gorgeous Hotel MacDonald wedding. At any given time, the Wedgewood Room is beautiful, but it was the prettiest I’d ever seen for this particular wedding. It must have been the huge tree in the middle of the room that just pushed it over the edge… i’ll show some of those photos a little later on. For now, we’ll step out on to the terrace to for one of my favourite wintery formal photos from the wedding day with Rob & Theresa! Congratulations Theresa & Rob!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers – Jenny & Kerrie – chic downtown winter wedding sneak peek

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

Jenny and Kerrie picked 12/12/12 as their wedding date and it was a fantastic, cold winter day in Edmonton. We started the Day at Union Bank Inn for the getting ready shots before heading to a beautiful ceremony at All Saint’s Cathedral. We braved the cold (-17!!) for a few outdoor photos before heading to the beautiful storefront of faBLOOMosity where we continued the wedding party photos. A huge thank you to Janine for letting us shoot in her beautiful store on that chilly December evening!  The store is just spectacular looking and was the perfect backdrop for Jenny & Kerrie’s wedding photos. This one of my favourite shots of Jenny & Kerrie together!

Red Deer Wedding Photographer | Dan & Danielle | water treatment plant wedding sneak peek

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012

Danielle & Dan had the best luck in having the most amazing weather for their wedding in Red Deer nearing the end of September. It pretty much felt like early August and couldn’t have been any more perfect for such awesome people. For their wedding party photos we hung out at the old water treatment plant and it was just perfect with a mix of brick and decay with gorgeous fall colours overlooking the river. I loved Danielle’s dress, it was slinky and fit her beautifully. Dan looked pretty darn awesome too! This is one of my favourite photos of them, snuggling together, and it’s just perfect in black and white!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Heather & Chad | Snow Valley wedding sneak peek

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

I just love fall weddings! Heather & Chad were married on an absolutely perfect September day. After a gorgeous ceremony at the Winspear (and after watching Chad be the most awesome and emotional groom ever), we took some photos are around the Art Gallery before heading to snow Valley where their reception was taking place. Heather & Chad showed us a gorgeous location near the ski hill that I had never been to before and it was breathtaking! I will definitely be going back there for more photos! This is one of my favourites even though I think Chad is slowly slipping down the bank into the creek!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Marlon & Natalie | Devonian Gardens wedding sneak peek

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

Marlon and Natalie we’re married in a backyard ceremonyon their 10th anniversary. I met up with them and their family afterwards at the Devonian Gardens to do all the fun wedding portraits. They had such an awesome family and we had a great time taking lots of photos. I did, however, get to steal Marlon and Natalie away for a little while to get some photos of just the two of them (although I think they kids were keeping a good eye on us so they had to snuggle with an audience). Marlon absolutely adores Natalie and it’s easy to see! I love how happy they look in this one!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Katie & Richard | Edmonton Hotel & Convention Centre wedding sneak Peek

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

I admit it… I’ve really fallen behind on the blogging this wedding season because it’s been so crazy busy! I’m getting caught up now, at least on the sneak peeks and then we can look forward to the full blog posts later in the fall for all of the fabulous weddings I photographed this year!

Here’s a sneak peek  from Katie & Richard’s wedding at the Edmonton Hotel & Convention Centre back in August. We did all of their photos inside the hotel and it was nice because it was so darn hot out and I didn’t get sunburned! Was a good day!!  Everything happened at the hotel too, so it was nice to have the whole day there and not have to battle traffic on a wedding day too.

If you can’t tell, Katie had an awesome grey wedding dress! She’s the kinda girl who is after my heart… When my husband and I have our vow renewal, I’ll be wearing grey too! I love this shot of a little snuggly action in the hallway with Katie & Richard. We had such a great time at their wedding!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Jennifer & Ryan | motorcycle wedding sneak peek

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012

I finished up my super triple header weekend back  in Edmonton with Jennifer & Ryan’s fabulous daytime wedding at the Hotel MacDonald. I met up with the bride & groom at Ryan’s parents home where Jennifer was getting ready early in the morning. The couple chose to do their first look there with Ryan waiting at the bottom of the stairs as Jennifer came into sight up top where we walked up to greet her. I love when a couple chooses to see each other before the ceremony since that first look at each other seems to be so much sweeter. It was a beautiful moment with all of their close family watching. Shortly thereafter we headed outside to do a few shots before their wedding with their motorcycle in the street in front of the house. I love that a lot of my couples are really into riding motorcycles, and of course, I love the chance to incorporate the bikes into their wedding photos. So much chrome and metal, it’s just perfect for me!

We set up up the bike in the middle of the street, and luckily, since it was a quiet Sunday morning, we didn’t have a lot of traffic to deal with. Jennifer & Ryan snuggled close and I got this fabulous shot of the in the mirror. I love it! It shows of the bike beautifully and it’s a sweet, intimate moment between awesome people. I love it even more since it’s in black and white, it’s easily my favourite photo from the day! Shortly after, they hopped in the limo and were whisked off to the Hotel MacDonald where we did more of their formal portraits and photos with family and friends before the wedding ceremony in the Jasper Room.

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Sharla & Will | Devon River sneak peek

Saturday, September 1st, 2012

We’re going back a couple weeks here (I was doing so well with staying on top of blogging some of the sneak peeks for a little while earlier in the summer but things had gotten a little busy for this Edmonton wedding photographer!) to the 2nd fabulous wedding I had that weekend (a triple header weekend, kinda crazy, but was awesome!) with Sharla and Will. Their fabulous wedding was on Sharla’s parents’ acreage just south of Edmonton. It’s the kinda spot that I dream about for weddings and it was spectacular! It’s so amazing that I was trying to talk them into renting out their backyard for future weddings, it’s just perfect! You’ll get to see lots more of it later on when the full wedding post is ready to go.

After the ceremony, we headed off to the south side of the bridge where the North Saskatchewan River goes through Devon for the first round of the formal photos. Ok, i’m not even going to talk about the mosquitos we battled up until this point… So I had Sharla & Will hop the guardrail and wander down to perch on top of the big rocks on the bank of the river to snuggle amongst the weeds and wildflowers. I love how they are so intent on each other and were able to enjoy a few minutes ”alone” to get beautiful, candid couple’s photos. At this point, they were the only two people in the world and it’s just beautiful! Of course, this sweet, intimate moment was witnessed by me, Corry-lyn and the rest of the wedding party, but I kinda think they forgot we were even there!

Plamondon Wedding Photographers – Shanon & Allan – Lac La Biche wedding sneak peek

Monday, August 13th, 2012

I don’t know if there are many Plamondon wedding photographers, I’m kinda hoping not, since I’d like to go back there again for a little wedding photo action. It was my first time venturing further north than Westlock for a wedding and I kept finding such great photo locations all along the highway on my drive up for Shanon & Allan’s wedding which was outside near the beach in Plamondon. Plamondon was such a pretty little town, but boy, that lake… just wow! It was so big it kinda looks like the ocean in photos! I admit I swooned a little bit when I wandered in to scope things out before the ceremony started and saw the dock and the rustic buildings on the adjoining property. It was the perfect spot to have and outdoor wedding and reception to have that gorgeous view all night and to enjoy the breeze off the water.

Since I don’t get to photograph blue-looking water very often, we stuck pretty close to the beach for most of the photos (I might have been a little obsessed with water shots) and I just love this image of Shanon & Allan on the dock snuggled together. The sky was just perfect with a few puffy white clouds breaking up that big expanse of blue and allowing a little reflection in the ripple of the water. The water looked so enticing and it was a pretty toasty day, so I was tempted to wade in a little but it was full of blue algae so I had to stay out (and perhaps pouted about that a little bit!). I’m looking forward to going back to go for a swim and hopefully photograph some more weddings!

Congratulations Shanon & Allan, it was a beautiful day and I’m lucky I got to be there to photograph it all!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Nathan & Katrina | Enjoy Centre Wedding sneak peek

Sunday, August 5th, 2012

It’s been a really tough summer for Edmonton wedding photographers with really unpredictable weather bringing crazy rain and thunderstorms all the time it seems. It rained for a few hours before Nathan and Katrina’s wedding ceremony and for a little while there, we were all afraid that it wouldn’t stop! Luckily the rain subsided and the sun started to peek out just before the ceremony at Robertson Wesley United Church near downtown Edmonton. After the lovely ceremony we headed off to the High Level Bridge to get wedding party photos and to give Nathan & Katrina a little alone time in front of the camera (I know, not really alone since I was there, but good enough!) with a pretty cool industrial background. We left downtown and headed north to St. Albert in hopes of catching a little bit of the canola fields before it was done for the summer but we were a bit too late… we just caught a little bit of yellow but we were swarmed by the mosquitos so badly that we just opted leave the fields and to finish up at the Enjoy Centre (one of my favourite wedding venues in the Edmonton area) before the reception and we managed to get our yellow on the moving sidewalk which is one of my favourite spots at the Enjoy Centre. The combination of the bright yellow, silvery metal and all that gorgeous light coming through through the glass ceiling just makes this location magical! I also love Katrina’s amazing Badgely Mischka shoes poking out in this shot too!
