Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Chic Shades of Grey tablescape in Edmonton

Saturday, June 2nd, 2012

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.

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Wintery vintage-inspired tablescape in the Edmonton river valley

Saturday, June 2nd, 2012

The winter tends to be a bit slow for Edmonton wedding photographers so that’s the time we get to have lots of fun and create inspiration shoots. Let’s rewind a few months to February for this wintery vintage-inspired tablescape designed by Edmonton Wedding Planner Julia Pringle from Once Upon Your Day. We had waited until February in hopes of having lots of snow… no such luck there! At least there as little bit of snow so things weren’t barren, but we were hoping for piles of the white stuff to complement this white and creme table set up with hints of red from the surrounding cherry trees. The fabulous rosette table linen and beaded chargers were from Elegant Touches, the chair covers and jewelled accents were from A Chair to Remember and the gorgeous cameo-inspired cakes were made by Style Cakes. The vintage-inspired brooch bouquet was by by the Wild Orchid Flower Shop. The retro chandelier was from my studio (originally purchased from Urban Barn). The menu card was from PinkPolka Design.

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Aqua, Yellow & Grey Tablescape at the Delta South Crystal Gallery

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

I was pretty excited to shoot this gorgeous tablescape and sweet table design by Edmonton wedding planner Juli Cragg of A Modern Proposal Event Planning. The colour scheme is just WOW! with bold yellow, pretty aqua and modern grey. I love the paper-flower inspiration for the cake, cupcakes and backdrop. The overall design is fun and whimsical with the stripes mixed in.

The Crystal Gallery at the Delta South Hotel in Edmonton is a beautiful modern venue and I love the unique chandeliers in the room. It made for the perfect backdrop to the table setting which featured clear acrylic Chivari chairs, chargers and pretty satin linens from Special Event Rentals (swoon), gorgeous flowers from Akkiko Floral Artistry, awesome stationary by PinkPolka Design and a beautiful table runner and backdrop from A Chair to Remember.

And let’s not forget the amazing sweet table featuring a gorgeous cake, cupcakes, cake pops, macarons and sugar cookies by Bluebird Cakes! And the best thing to compliment the sweets? The signature Blue Lagoon and Hard Lemonade cocktails that matched the design perfectly.

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Winter Wedding sneak peek in the River Valley

Sunday, February 19th, 2012

Yesterday I photographed a beautiful tablescape for a winter stylized wedding shoot. You might remember our lovely bride from a wedding I photographed a few months ago in Edmonton. Chrissy was awesome and did so well during our shoot in the little bit of snow we still have this winter. When Julia (an Edmonton wedding planner with Once Upon Your Day) and I started planning this shoot back in November, we were envisioning piles of snow… well, can I say that I’ve been happy about the lack of real Edmonton winter this year? The photos still turned out great. Here’s one of my favourite shots from the portrait session of the shoot. Stay tuned for a post on the full shoot with lots of pretty wedding decor inspiration!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Robyn & Tom | Modern Airplane wedding in Edmonton

Friday, February 17th, 2012

It seems like forever ago since Robyn & Tom’s wedding at the end of August. I’ve been saving this gem of a wedding, and well, I just couldn’t wait any longer! It’s not that often (at all???) that you get to see a wedding that took place on an airplane. Yup! That’s right! Their ceremony was ON AN AIRPLANE!! Robyn and Tom are darn cool people, so it makes sense that they’d have a super cool wedding that was partially planned by my friend Juli at A Modern Proposal. Ok, are you ready for the awesomeness?

I loved Robyn’s yellow pendant.

The airplane hankie was a gift from her grandmother nd was just the perfect touch for the wedding theme!

Pretty dress, but it put up a good fight when it came to putting it on… probably should have taken the hanger out ;)

A little SEO love for some Edmonton Wedding Planners

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

In addition to photography, I have a pretty keen interest in SEO and do some work, time to time, for other vendors in the wedding industry to help them increase their web presence. I have pretty much maxed out the number of wedding photographers in Edmonton that I am able to help since I don’t want any more competition on that end. ;) Wedding planners, florists, bakers, etc… they’re all fair game. And well, photographers anywhere other than Edmonton, I’m ok with that too. I have been working with two Edmonton wedding planners recently and I’m totally happy with the progress their websites have seen in such a short period of time. Also helps that they are good people too, so I”m more than happy to do my best to help them get ahead. So, if you are in the market for a wedding planner, please check them out.

Photo shoot with Edmonton Wedding Planner Monica Hill of Aisle Plan Your Day

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Yesterday afternoon I met up with Monica on the chilly streets of Edmonton outside of La Piazza Dasee near Whyte Ave. to take some photos for her newly revamped website. Monica is a WPIC certified wedding and event planner, check out her site if you are in the market for an awesome wedding planner. We’d been chatting over e-mail for the past few weeks prior to the shoot, but yesterday was the first day we met and I liked her right away! She was so much fun and very easy going, not to mention gosh darned adorable as you can see from her photos! We spent a little time outside catching the last remaining rays of the day before ducking into La Piazza Dasee to warm up. They have an awesome cafe area that I didn’t know about, and I just may deviate from Starbucks every so often to go back there!

Here’s a few of images Monica and be sure to go check out her website at www.aisleplanyourday.com!

Jenni and Travis got married – Wedding at the Winspear Centre in Edmonton!

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

When I woke up yesterday, it was cold and cloudy, and I was ok with that… but it ended up being a gorgeous sunny day for Jenni and Travis’s wedding in Edmonton. Jenni got ready at her parent’s house, sourounded by a small army of bridesmaids and family, and Travis got ready at his and Jenni’s home, and from what I hear, were being just a little goofy. The ceremony was in the lobby of the Winspear Centre and was just beautiful. I actually started to get a bit misty-eyed during the vows!

After the ceremony, we shot the “formals” by the Citadel Theatre, the High Level bridge (we had to drive through the Legislature grounds to get good parking – what a circus that place is for weddings! I’m glad we used more interesting and less populated areas for our photos), had the family shots at jackie Parker Park and finished with night shots at Woodvale.

The reception at Woodvale was lovely! The food, as always, was spectacular! The golf course had the softest grass and boy was I happy to just take my shoes off and wander around out there after a long day!

Congratulations to the fabulous bride and groom!
