Helan & Jamie were married just a few days ago on Friday, July 13, 2012. Yup, they had a Friday the 13th wedding and I thought that was super cool! One would think that having a wedding on Friday the 13th would be terribly bad luck, but no, it was pretty awesome. Ok, so there were a few blips in the day with the getting ready portion of the day running a bit longer and pushing back the ceremony by an hour, but that was no biggie. The only bad luck of the day was bringing the wrong rings to the ceremony…. oops! So , I don’t have ring shot since we didn’t have the right rings, but we’ll take care of that later. Otherwise it was a perfect day! Smoke had blown in to town from the forest fires up North and most people would think that’s a bad thing, but the slight smoky haze helped create beautiful diffused light for the ceremony and the photos that we took outside in the garden. Helan & Jamie’s ceremony and reception took place at the Oasis Centre in the West end of Edmonton. It was my first wedding there, and well, I have fallen in love! It’s an amazing venue!! This particular image was taken near the end of the evening and I was feeling a little experimental and though it would be fun to take a photo through the large aquarium in the foyer of the Oasis. I thought it was going to look cool, but it turned out even better than I expected!
