Modern Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Tamara & Cory | Union Bank Inn wedding

If you thought the Canada Day long weekend was busy with Ashley & Kevin’s and Ngan & Vinny’s weddings, well, that doesn’t even compare to following weekend where I photographed three fantastic weddings! Tamara and Cory’s wedding was the first to kick of that super busy weekend!

I met up with Tamara while she was getting ready in a fabulous suite at the Union Bank Inn and we then headed down to the Ballroom to do a “First Look” with Cory. I love First Looks! It’s just nice to share that moment with just the two of you! After they spent a few minutes together, we got ready to do their portrait session before the ceremony. It was just pouring buckets that day, so we stuck to one of my favourite parkades for their photos. Nice modern, urban feel for the photos, and still very pretty! After wrapping up the portraits we went back to the Union Bank Inn for a lovely ceremony and a few speeches! It was a great day with two fabulous people!

I love Tamara’s dress, it was gorgeous! I couldn’t stop taking photos of it, but here’s two of my favourites!

Rock The Dress/Trash The Dress | Abandoned House with Jenny | Edmonton Photographer

I have to say, I absolutely love Rock The Dress/Trash the Dress sessions! It’s a super fun way to get more than one day’s wear out of a fabulous wedding dress. Now, this location might not look like the potential for trashing was there, but it was! What you don’t see nestled into the tall grass and through the abandoned house was large piles of, um, presents, left behind by the cows that hung out in this place! I was photographing Jenny with my Friend Becky from Just for You Photography (you should check out her shots of Jenny too!) and it was fun trying to avoid stepping in all the goodies left behind. I loved this location and Jenny absolutely rocked this dress!!

I just can’t resist doing detail shots!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Ngan & Vinny | Transalta Arts Barn Wedding

Canada Day long weekend was a busy one! On the Saturday after Ashley & Kevin’s wedding, I second shot a fabulous wedding with Jill Coursen Photography at the Transalta Arts Barn. The Arts Barn is an interesting venue, but it’s one that is tricky to light! Before the ceremony, I joined Vinny and the boys at the Meterra Hotel to hang out while they got ready then we headed over just a few blocks to the Arts Barn for the ceremony. The lobby looked amazing set up for the ceremony!

The bouquets from La Piazza Dasee were gorgeous! I love bright green flowers!

Kananaskis Wedding Photographer | Kaliegh & Mike’s Wedding | Nakoda Lodge

Back we go to June for this awesome wedding at Nakoda on the Lake in Kananaskis at the foot of the Rocky Mountains on the way to Canmore that I second shot with John Boccabella Photography. It was a super windy day as I drove toward the mountains after leaving Calgary. Luckily the weather didn’t get anymore unruly, although I think the kids definitely struggled with trying to walk around in the wind! The ceremony was outside the lodge on a huge lawn overlooking the lake and the mountains… beautiful! The reception was inside the rustic lodge and was beautifully decorated for Mike and Kaliegh’s reception. I got to take lots of detail shots, so that was pretty awesome and I got photograph the guys getting ready, which was super fun!

The winds were so intense during the ceremony I thought the poor little ringbearer and flower girl were going to get blown over as they walked down the aisle!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Ashley & Kevin’s Wedding | Woodvale Golf Course

Wow! Where has the summer gone? Here’s a fabulous July 1st wedding to take us back to the fabulous, warm summer days. Ashley and Kevin got married on Canada day and I arrived at Ashley’s parents house to find her dress hanging in the front window and the Canadian flag proudly flapping in the wind, so of course that’s going to be the first photo to kick off their wedding post!
