Late afternoon sessions have a good chance of dramatic skies or lighting, and this time we got snow. A lot of it. ALOT! This engagement session was shot around the Alberta Legislative grounds, and High Level bridge. There are alot of great locations in that area, these two braved the snow, and we worked until it was hard for me to see them through the weather.

The beautiful wedding of Dallas and Nicole was another day where I was pretty sure when I woke up that it was going to rain–but Mother Nature proved me wrong and held off her showers for them. My brides had alot of luck this year, considering it was a very weak and late summer.

Their wedding was held at the beautiful family acreage, a gorgeous landscaped and gardened property decked out for the day. Canola fields neighboured it, and giant trees were the most amazing place to offer a backdrop to the couples formal photography. The casual hawaiian themed atmosphere was complete with a bbq roast, and tons of their close family and friends.

Congratulations to Dallas and Nicole, wishing them lifetimes of joy and happiness together!

Amanda and Dustins Wedding (Edmonton wedding photographer)

When July is supposed to be hot and sunny, this wedding was slammed during a suprise week of rain. No worries, the ceremony was held indoors! The Next Christian Community Church, St. Albert, had been a movie theatre in its past life, with a dramatic stage-like atmosphere where the ceremony was held.

After family formals inside the venue, we explored the surrounding area for the unique nooks and crannies for photography while the rain held off. In fact, it held off long enough for us to travel to a beautiful park location and visit St. Alberts downtown.

Amanda and Dustin are all about friends and family, and they had over 150 of their closest crammed into their reception hall. This bold bride was a serious fan of lilies, had decorated with black, lime green and stunning orange. Filled with love, laughter and friendship, the reception was a wonderful celebration. PS: You’ll notice there is ALOT of kissing photos…… what can I say? Dustin had fun!

Sarah & Ryan, the wedding (Edmonton wedding photographer)

I first met Sarah a few years ago, she modeled for me as a pirate. This girl just has a fabulous set of eyes. So when I heard I was going to photograph her wedding, I was really excited.

Her and her husband Ryan are so sweet together, and I knew their wedding was going to be fun. The whole event was held at the amazing Oasis Conference Centre, with an outdoor ceremony by the picturesque garden & mini waterfall. Ryan and Sarah said their own vows, starting with Ryans heartfelt speach. Sarah was so overcome by emotion, she threw her speech to the wind and said “I do.”

Tons of their quirky personality shone through in the little details, such as lime green monster heels, oreo cupcakes and the Star Wars score for the recessional. Congratulations you two, I wish you a long life of love and laughter as you grow old together.

Diana and Glen are two amazing people, and the cutest couple. Here are some of my favorite shots from our downtown adventure. It was such a gorgeous day, and we took advantage of the snow while we had it, while it was warm enough to be outside! Diana has such an incredible smile and laugh, it spreads to everyone around her. Thank you to both of you for allowing me to photograph you!

Winter Wedding sneak peak: Nick and Stephanie (Edmonton wedding photography)

Stephanie and Nicks weddings was on one of those cold January days at the start of a ten day snowfall and super low temperatures. So much snow, like magical little floating chicken feathers everywhere. Slippery roads had the wedding running a late, but I was able to get magical images of the bride arriving through a small blizzard. After the rush of removing the snowboots and getting Stephanie into her slippers, she joined Nick at the alter for a darling ceremony. Formals were at the Citadel Theatre, Lee Pavillion, where they had amazing dramatic evening lighting.
Congratulations to them both!

Laura and Dave (Edmonton and Stony Plain Wedding Photographer)

Will it rain? Is it going to rain? The rain stopped just in time for Dave and Laura’s ceremony in Stony Plain, and held off through the formals afterwards. With lingering grey skies that have the most beautiful light and spots of sun shining through. ……now, enough about the weather! Its winter now and I am missing all the greenery.

Laura and Dave are a SUCH a sweet and vibrant couple, (Laura is the sweet one, Dave is the vibrant), full of smiles and laughs from both of them. You can tell their wedding party was a close bunch of friends who loved them. Everything was kept close to the church in Stony Plain. Family formals nearby at a Shikaoi Park, and formals with the bridal party at Dog Rump Park. OK, I get a serious giggle typing that, (truly the funniest named park ever!).

But, Dog Rump Park is a great little walkaround with a ton of places for photography spots. And the playground matched the bridesmaids dresses and Laura’s HOT orange shoes.

Congratulations to Laura and Dave, and thank you so much for having me be part of your day, it was truly beautiful.

When I first met B & K, they were attending a charity event that the wonderful Sonya had created to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation, for her program People for Pink. This adorable couple bid for a Photography Session gift certificate that I donated to the cause. I am so happy they won, these two are so cute together, and so fun to photograph.

We met at Louise McKinney park, which overlooks the rivervalley, and braved the crisp early fall air. The light was just amazing.
