Lloydminster Wedding Photographer | Kelsey & Jeff | Lakeland College wedding

January 21st, 2012

The day after Evette & Arthur’s wedding, I hit the road to Lloydminster (who knew it was only a 2.5 hour drive??) for Kelsey and Jeff’s fabulous wedding. I joined Kelsey at her parent’s home for the girls getting ready before we headed off to St Anthony’s Church for the ceremony. Following the ceremony, we went to Kelsey’s cousin’s store, Socko, to do some of the formal photos before heading over to Lakeland college to for more photos and the reception. Kelsey and Jeff met at the Lakeland College gym because they both played basketball, so it just made sense for them to get married there. It was a fantastic day and we had such a great time in Lloydminster… I can’t wait to go back!

Kelsey had such and awesome dress… it had pockets! Loved it!

I can’t help but laugh at how expressive Kelsey was… and her look of panic… awesome!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Evette & Arthur | U of A Faculty Club wedding

January 21st, 2012

We’re heading back to August for Evette & Arthur’s wedding at the U of A Faculty Club here in Edmonton. It was a gorgeous Friday wedding surrounded by friends and family and Evette looked amazing with lots of purple details. I loved the black callas in here bouquet, but I think, what I loved even more, was the photos of family tucked into the bouquet so that they were there with her too. Arthur was so sweet and I loved his tears, looking at those photos now, still makes me a little misty-eyed! The ceremony and reception were at the U of A Faculty Club and we did all of the “formals” outside on the grounds after the ceremony before going back inside for the reception. It was a beautiful wedding with two amazing people that I’m so happy I was there to witness it all!

A few last minute adjustments before the ceremony starts.

Such a beautiful way to have loved ones who are no longer with us close by on the wedding day.

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Nicole & Nicholas | Enjoy Centre wedding in St Albert

January 16th, 2012

Yesterday I blogged Leanne & Tyler’s wedding, so it just made sense to blog Nicole & Nicholas’ wedding the day after since their weddings were back to back this past August. I started out with the ladies at Nicole’s parents home where I got to photograph lots of shoes (my favourite!!) while the girls were getting ready. We headed off to the church for the ceremony where I cught my first glimpse of Nicholas that day. He was so sweet watching Nicole come down the aisle with tears welling in his eyes. After the ceremony we headed to the U of A campus for family photos and a few with the wedding party before hitting the Royal Alberta Museum for a few more. The reception was at the Enjoy Centre, a fabulous new facility in St Albert, so we took a few more photos around there before heading into the gorgeous reception in the Moonflower Room. It was a gorgeous day and I just love looking back at the photos and remembering the fun we had!

Look at all those pretty shoes!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Leanne & Tyler | Union Bank Inn wedding

January 15th, 2012

I can’t believe it’s been more than five months since Leanne & Tyler’s fabulous wedding at the Union Bank Inn! I started the day at Leanne’s Parents home for the girls getting ready before heading downtown to the Union Bank Inn for the ceremony. I love looking back at these photos and just watching Tyler’s face light up every time he looked at Leanne! It was so sweet! After the ceremony we headed off to the High Level bridge and to my favourite parkade for the “formal” photos. They had such a great wedding party too! We finished up the night back at the the Union Bank Inn where there were lots of laughs and lots of tears (my favourite!). We had such a great time and I”m so happy I was able to witness a celebration of so much love!!

Leanne had such a pretty dress!

Edmonton Lifestyle Photographer | urban portrait shoot with Amy

January 9th, 2012

I know, I know, I still have a TON of weddings and portraits left to blog from the summer, but I just could resist posting a few from this mini session with Amy in a spot that I’ve been dying to photograph for ages. I have to admit, I really missed photography in edgier and grittier spots around the city and hope to get back to my old edgy style! This session with Amy totally reminded me why I love shooting in the city! Here’s a few of my favourites! Oh, and have I mentioned I’ve fallen back in love with black and white photos!!
