Last Sunday, I rolled back into town from Calgary and met up with Amy and Andre around 104 St to shoot their engagement session. Their wedding is coming up soon in August and I so can’t wait! They were super sweet together and they are meant to be in front of the camera!
Lots of pretty details from this wedding at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary! Lots of pink and orchids and sweet treats! Will add a few more later, but for now… check out the awesome guestbook table with the favours which acted as placecards and the rockin’ 4 tier cake covered in more orchids! Um, and did I mention the gorgeous orchid centrepieces?? Oh, and I am in love with Mina’s bouquet… pretty pink peonies! The gorgeous flowers were from Sensational Stemz in Calgary.
Last weekend I headed off to Calgary to second shoot a wedding for John Boccabella Photography. I don’t get to second shoot often and it was pretty exciting to just have time to shoot details! Mina & Aram were married in the Turner Valley Room of the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary. I got to join Mina as she was getting ready and I am still stunned by her beautiful Lazaro wedding gown. Also pretty impressed by how tall her shoes were and how well she seems to manage in them all day! Mina looked like an absolute princess when she headed down to the foyer to meet her husband-to-be as he handed her a gorgeous pink bridal bouquet. After the two had a few moments to share, we went to Eau Claire for a photo session with just the soon-to-be-wed couple and then were joined by family for more pictures.
I headed back to the Fairmont and had a blast catching all of the awesome details (look forward to the Details & Decor post for this one!) before the ceremony started. The ceremony was Muslim and Baha’i and there were lots of cool details, especially they spread of sweets surrounding the couple.
After the ceremony, the reception was hosted in the Crystal Ballroom and it was just gorgeous! Orchids were everywhere! Mina & Aram entered the reception and went straight into their first dance as a married couple. As the night went on a dancer performed for the guests and there was a very cool knife dance before Mina & Aram cut the cake. As we ducked out on the evening, the dance floor was packed and a huge party was in full swing! I’m so happy I was lucky enough to come along for the ride! Thanks to John Boccabella for having me along and congratulations to Mina & Aram!
June 19, 2010 was a hot, hot day for Sara and Tim’s wedding at the Devonian Gardens. We got ready at Sara’s parent’s house and headed out to the gardens to take some photos before the lovely outdoor ceremony. I’m not quite sure what area the ceremony was in because it was moved from the Wedding Lawn since the grass and flowers were slow to grow. We spent the after in the sun shooting the formals before heading back into Edmonton and got hit with a freak downpour before heading to the reception at Caernarvon Hall in North Edmonton! The Hall was decorated in red black and white and was the site for quite a party as the evening got going! Congratulations to Sara and Tim on their lovely wedding!
