If you have purple in mind for your wedding colours this year, this is the bouquet for you! It has thistles too, which are my favourite!! Actually, I guess this is purple, pink and a hint of blue. Either way, it’s gorgeous and I love it!

This is a bouquet after my own heart – it’s bold and glamorous and just a little bit dark with the dark red roses and swishy black ostrich feathers. It’s darn near perfect. Maybe it’s the crystals wrapping the handle that make it perfect. It’s the sort of bouquet that is guaranteed to grab attention on your wedding day!

This past summer we were inspired by a shallow lake in Jasper National Park and decided to make it the location for an edgy wedding shoot featuring an awesome black wedding dress and amazing floral jewellery. Edmonton wedding planner Julia Pringle from Once Upon Your Day put together a spectacular tablescape in the middle of the shallow lake with beautiful chairs, plates and linens from Special Event Rentals combined with stunning florals from faBLOOMosity to make this one of my favourite stylized shoots I’d done to date. You just can’t go wring with the stunning natural beauty in Jasper National Park and with the romantic table for two set in the middle of the lake, we sure garnered a lot attention from park visitors travelling by. This shoot wouldn’t have been complete without the amazing florals… let me gush about them for a moment! The floral jewellery was spectacular and so intricate… amazing! I loved the living ring! The centrepiece and the bouquet were just fabulous too. Krystal and Mike made great models and didn’t mind getting soaked and rolling around in the semi-chilly lake to get some great photos. Krystal’s hair and make-up by Erin Regis was beautiful and didn’t budget, even with all that splashing and rolling around in the water! So here’s some of my favourites from this awesome shoot! I can’t wait to go back to Jasper to photograph more weddings and portraits too, so if you’d like to photographed in Jasper, get in touch!
This simple bouquet of yellow callas is sure to brighten your wedding day! You can’t help but look at this bouquet and feel cheerful! Add a little dusty Miller to this bouquet and it would be perfect for a yellow and grey wedding theme!

Here’s a bright and lively bouquet that is perfect for a funky wedding with lime green spider mums and blue orchids. The white mums balance all the bright colours in this bouquet. Definitely a bouquet that will garner attention!

Here’s a bouquet that will catch your attention! It’s bold with colour-popping red roses and fuchsia and purple orchids. This bouquet isn’t content to sit on the sidelines, it wants to take centre stage on your wedding day! Imagine the possibilities for your bridesmaids having complimentary bouquets in red, fuchsia and purple as well!

When I first got to the shop to photograph the flowers, this is the bouquet that caught my attention. I just love it! It’s got a vintage, rustic feel but is still totally modern with the type of flowers and the overall design.

I think Baby’s Breath is going to make a comeback for 2013! It’s a simple flower but it’s just beautiful in a bouquet all on it’s own! It would make a great bouquet for the bride (just make it three times bigger!) or it would be perfect for your bridesmaids to carry! Not to mention vases full of Baby’s breath on your tables and for the aisle, perfect!!

So, we’re going back to the past summer for this shoot that I did for the Ramada Kingsway in Edmonton for their ad in Weddings in Alberta. I’d never been in the Ramada in Edmonton and I was surprised at how big the ballroom was and how pretty it could be decorated. I really loved the aqua, grey and yellow theme with the white accents with linens and the centrepiece from Special Event Rentals. We called in Edmonton Wedding Planner Julianne Cragg of A Modern Proposal Event Planning to help complete the tables with some favours and table numbers she had on hand that went perfect with the colour scheme. There were lots of pretty wedding details to photograph… and then came the food!!
The food looked GOOD but it TASTED even better! Of course we got to sample everything after it was photographed and it was delicious. The Ramada can handle large weddings (up to 700 people i Think) in their spacious ballroom and it can also do smaller weddings as well and makes for a great wedding venue not far out of downtown Edmonton.
This whole shoot centered around the dress… the fabulous charcoal grey dress I found on eBay that I HAD to have for a photo shoot. Once we had the dress, the beautiful table featuring shades of grey and cream just fell together. Although, last minute, we had to change our location and I decided the super-industrial metal siding at Superstore was just the perfect backdrop for this set up adding another layer of metallic grey to the setting. I think it was quite the interesting sight for the people off to do their grocery shopping to see this gorgeous tablescape set up in the parking lot.
This vision of grey loveliness was excuted by Edmonton Wedding Planner Julianne Cragg of A Modern Proposal Event Planning. The gorgeous linens are from Elegant Touches (boy, they do have amazing options for table linens!) as well as the place settings. The stationary was a template purchased from Etsy and the amazing bouquet, boutonniere (with pheasant feathers!!) and centrepiece are from Akiko Floral Artistry.
Our bride’s gorgeous earrings are from BHLDN and her hair flowers and necklaces are from Claire’s. The groom fabulous tie is from Burberry. Our bride’s hair and make-up was styled by Jenn Waterfield.
