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!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Wintery vintage-inspired tablescape in the Edmonton river valley
Saturday, June 2nd, 2012The 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 Photographers | Winter Wedding sneak peek in the River Valley
Sunday, February 19th, 2012Yesterday 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!
