Bunch of Canon lenses for sale to finance new Canon toys…

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I have 4 Canon lenses for sale (price is for local pickup and payment by cash/cheque/e-mail money transfer, if you need to do paypal, add 2.9% to cover and you cover the shipping if outside of Edmonton.)

1 – Canon EF 17-35mm 2.8L USM – purchased used from another Edmonton photographer about a year ago. In good shape with front and rear caps. SOLD

2 – Canon EF 28-70mm 2.8L USM - purchased used from another Edmonton photographer about a year ago. In good shape with front and rear caps. $900

3 – Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM – Purchased new over a year ago – just lost the front lens cap a few weeks ago but has been covered, otherwise in great  shape - $375 if I buy the new lens cap, or $355 if you have your own. (PENDING)

4. Canon EF 85mm 1.8 USM – Purchased new over a year ago – barely used, so just about brand new. $450

Please buy my lenses so I can buy my dream 50mm 1.2L and the 24-70 2.8L and help me make a little more space in my camera bags!!

A new project! www.edmonton-wedding-photographers.com

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

I have started a fun new project that will be quite helpful for all those Edmonton brides and grooms out there! I am currently working on Edmonton Wedding Photographers – A Directory and it will build an extensive list of wedding photographers in the Edmonton area, will feature Edmonton weddings, will feauture local photographers and will be a visual database of lots of great ceremony and receptions venues in the area! There will also be a section showing locations used for engagement sessions and formals to help you get more creative!

So, tell your friends to check it out, tell your photographer to get listed, and go take a look at some awesome weddings and engagement sessions in your city, Edmontonians!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers – A Directory

ENV weddings posted on a few blogs this week!

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

This has been a good week for seeing ENV weddings posted on other wedding blogs. Check them out!

Erin and Tyler’s September wedding on Home Made Bride showing off the cool vintage feel to the wedding.

Chris and Lexie’s chilly October wedding on Wedding Obsession with them dancing the night away! (there’s 2 parts to their post!)

Shane and Colinne’s Halloween wedding on Rock ‘N Roll Bride with the spooky details and their awesome Corpse Bride vows.

I love Rock ‘N Roll Bride!

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Ok, I really love this blog! If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, go right now to Rock ‘N Roll Bride! Go, look at all the wedding awesomeness, find great new ideas… and then come back here and have me photograph your Rock ‘N Roll wedding! This site has hours of inspiration. Vintage styles, quirky details and tattooed couples… *le sigh*

Lots of awesome ways to sneak in subcultural details into your wedding and still keep the parents happy. Derek and I had a pretty traditional wedding, but we managed to sneak a few details like a certain Bad Manners song during our slideshow (does anyone want to guess which one??), Derek sporting Ben Sherman and Grinders with his black suit and skinny black tie, and my lovely leopard print creeper sneakers poking out from under the dress.

Anyway, I’m on way back to look at more awesome pictures! Stop reading here and go look too!

Halloween wedding at Fort Edmonton Park – Colinne & Shane got married!

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Last night I was at Fort Edmonton Park for Colinne and Shane’s Halloween themed wedding. Colinne had a beautiful dress and awesome white leather chucks. I, of course, was totally in love with her ring – how could I possibly resist a black diamond?? The flowers were beautiful and she was carrying a horseshoe with Blackwatch Tartan (Shane’s family was actually a part of the Blackwatch) and she was pinned with an antique rabbit’s foor that has been in her family fors years to act as her something old.

The ceremony was in the foyer at the Hotel Selkirk and the hotel was spookily adorned for the day. The guests were in full Halloween costume and their vows were from the Corpse Bride! I wanted to use the Corpse Bride vows for me own wedding, but it never worked out, so I am still a little bit jealous!

We wandered about the grounds for the family and formal shots before coming back to the hotel to set up the photobooth for the evening and to enjoy the reception. The centrepieces on each table were different while each incorporated a pumpkin, and the wine, it was Vampire (merlot, of course!). There was a ghost walk later in the evening and a costume contest too! There were lots of fabulous costumes, and you will get to see them all once the photobooth images are done, but in the meantime, enjoy…! I did get a little experimental with the antique finishing for some of the photos, but it just seems to work so well…
