No, your eyes don’t deceive you… Theresa had three gorgeous dresses for her wedding day in the Wedgewood Room at Hotel MacDonald. It really could have been more perfect. The decor was amazing and Rob & Theresa, along with friends and family, put it all together themselves… including the focal point of the room, the beautiful big tree! After getting ready, Rob & Theresa had their “First Look” in the middle of the room and then popped out for a few photos before joining their guests for a pre-ceremony mingle (check out Theresa’s hot red dress!). Shortly thereafter, with a costume change, it was ceremony time and it was just beautiful with a pretty sweet moment celebrating their new family unit. After the ceremony Their were family photos and the GiggleBooth kicked off before a fantastic dinner was served. The evening was lively with speeches, a few serenades and, i think, the most surprising wedding first dance I’ve yet to witness! Congratulations Rob & Theresa!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Jenny & Kerrie | Union Bank Inn winter wedding
Sunday, April 14th, 2013Jenny and Kerrie picked an awesome date for their wedding – 12.12.12. Yup, that’s right, December 12, 2012. Pretty cool date! It also happened to be a super chilly day, but that didn’t stop it from being beautiful. I met up with Jenny at the Union Bank Inn for a little Bridal Boudoir before we started getting ready… I’m only going to show one of those boudoir shots… It’s good to be a tease! Jenny was surrounded by some pretty fantastic ladies while she got ready. Once everyone was all dolled up, we went to the ceremony at All Saints Cathedral a few blocks away. After the ceremony we braved the cold to shoot outside near Grant McEwan before going to faBLOOMosity for thei indoor wedding photos (The Wild Orchid did the flowers for the wedding, but faBLOOMosity let us shoot in their beautiful store… Thanks Janine!) After leaving the shop, we stopped to get a few more outside shots before going back to the Union Bank Inn for the reception that was perfectly pink and vintage featuring lace and pearls… gorgeous!! It was a great day! Congratulations Jenny & Kerrie!
Edmonton Wedding Photography | Wendy & Jack | Muttart Conservatory winter wedding
Sunday, April 14th, 2013Winter was in full swing when Jack and Wendy got married in November at the Muttart Conservatory. Luckily they chose the tropical pyramid for their ceremony and formal photos so we got to stay toasty and enjoy all the beautiful greenery before going out into the white wonderland for a few last portraits. Congratulations Wendy & Jack!
Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Theresa & Rob | winter wedding sneak peek
Saturday, January 5th, 2013I 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, 2013Jenny 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!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Wendy & Jack | winter wedding sneak peek
Sunday, November 11th, 2012Yesterday I headed off to the Muttart Conservatory for a beautiful morning winter wedding with Jack and Wendy. We enjoyed the heat of the tropical pyramid for their ceremony and for most of their portrait session before heading out in to -16 degree weather to catch a few snowy portraits. We were in luck this weekend since the heavy snow fall during the week was still clinging to the trees and it made for perfect winter wonderland photos. I just love this snuggly photo of Wendy and Jack! Congratulations you two!

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!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Jaime & Bruce’s winter wedding at the Muttart Conservatory
Monday, February 28th, 2011Jaime and Bruce were married on a chilly evening back in December 2010. It was December 21st, in fact, the winter solstice, and it was co-o-o-o-o-o-ld! Luckily, inside the holiday pyramid at the Muttart Conservatory was nice and toasty where they had their intimate ceremony surrounded by a pretty christmas set. We stayed in the pyramid to do the family and group photos and we even ventuerd out into the -22 night to shoot Jaime and Bruce alone in front of the conservatory. They were so brave and managed to last almost a half an hour in the cold before we ran to the warmth of the Rose & Crown where the reception was being held! It was a beautiful night and I’m so happy we were lucky enough to be able to capture it all! Here are a few of my favourites!
Barrhead Wedding Photographer | Markus and Jen's chilly winter wedding
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind with lots of wedding action for us! On December 11, 2010, Trisha and I zoomed off to Barrhead for Jennifer and Markus’s winter wedding. It was a crazy chilly day with temperatures around -20 degrees. We joined Jen at the salon before heading to her parent’s home to watch the girls get ready and Trisha joined the boys at Jen and Markus’s house. The ceremony was at the Barrhead United Church which was just a minute away from the getting ready frenzy. After the ceremony (which featured Jen singing to her new husband), we headed back to Jen’s parents house for family photos so everyone could keep warm before heading off to the family farm to shoot a few of the bridal party in the freezing cold early evening. I’m amazed that the girls could even stand to be outside for more than a few seconds considering just how cold it was! After the farm, we went to the reception at the Westlock Community Centre and it was just beautifully decorated in a winter wonderland theme (yup, a post on the details and decor is coming shortly)! It was a great day! Congratulations Jen and Markus!
