Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Robyn & Tom | Modern Airplane wedding in Edmonton

It seems like forever ago since Robyn & Tom’s wedding at the end of August. I’ve been saving this gem of a wedding, and well, I just couldn’t wait any longer! It’s not that often (at all???) that you get to see a wedding that took place on an airplane. Yup! That’s right! Their ceremony was ON AN AIRPLANE!! Robyn and Tom are darn cool people, so it makes sense that they’d have a super cool wedding that was partially planned by my friend Juli at A Modern Proposal. Ok, are you ready for the awesomeness?

I loved Robyn’s yellow pendant.

The airplane hankie was a gift from her grandmother nd was just the perfect touch for the wedding theme!

Tom had fantastic airplane cuff links!

The girls got a little silly.

Just so you know… all of these shoes were Robyn’s…

Pretty dress, but it put up a good fight when it came to putting it on… probably should have taken the hanger out

Robyn was so expressive!!

Love this getting ready shot!

SHe might have been a little nervous…

A few last minute touch-ups and we were ready to head to the ceremony!

So, when was the last wedding that you went to that had a pre-flight snack? Ok, so the plane didn’t fly, but it was a huge surprise for the guests when they arrived to dicover the ceremony was taking place on the plane!

Here she comes! Such a unique walk down the aisle!

Man, i’m such a sucker for the tears..

Tom couldn’t reist giving Robyn a few different kisses..

Most awesome ring shot ever!!

And a few of the wedding party in the plane..

This one is so glamourous!

And, well, I just love this one…

I adore this black and white series on the High Level bridge

Did I mention I love Black & White?

Lots of cool details at the reception. The guestbook were map tags, very cool!

Ok, is the air sickness bag not the coolest wedding favour ever??

Even the place cards were tiny airplanes…

The fabulous invitations set the mood for the wedding.

They had a pretty darn cool cake.

Robyn is a little bit mischievous…

A beautiful first dance.

The guests were having a good time.

I think Tom enjoyed a few seconds searching for the garter…

This was such a great wedding! I’m so happy I got to be the one to capture it!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Winter Wedding sneak peek in the River Valley

Yesterday 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!

There’s a few more sneak peeks on the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ENV.Photography.Edmonton

Wedding Bouquet Inspiration | Perfect Purple wedding flowers by the Wild Orchid

Here’s a pretty purple bouquet to get you thinking about Spring on this wintery Sunday morning from the Wild Orchid Flower Shop in Edmonton. I’m pretty stumped on what flowers are in this one, but I think I see purple carnations and there’s a pretty brooch. Either way, it’s gorgeous!

It’s getting to be the time of year to get the flowers figured out for all those upcoming summer weddings. So, for the next moth or so, I’ll be posting LOTS of awesome bouquets to help you find inspiration for your own wedding. I simply adore this black and white brooch bouquet with some silk anemones. This can be a total DIY project or you can find a florist or an Etsy store to buy one from too! It’s a great option if you are allergic to flowers!

This amazing bouquet was made by the Wild Orchid Flower Shop in Edmonton, AB.
