Red Deer Wedding Photographers | Maria & Kevin | Coronation Park & Black Knight Inn

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

This one is taking us back to a glorious day in July for Maria and Kevin’s outdoor wedding ceremony at Coronation Park in Red Deer. I love outdoor ceremonies, I just don’t get to photograph them enough. There’s always lots of light, and lots of space to run around for different angles, and I don’t have to worry about my shoes squeaking on the grass icon smile red deer weddings The weather was just fabulous with a little bit of cloud cover for the ceremony in the park. After the ceremony we stayed around in the park for some family photos and few of the wedding party before heading over to the most amazing building in Red Deer, which just so happened to be home to an accounting firm. I love finding unique locations, and I’m willing to bet that Maria and Kevin were the first to have their wedding photos at that gorgeous building. Lucky we were there and they were so nice to let us come inside when the sky darkened and Red Deer was pummeled with hail! After the hail let up, we ended the photos at the old train bridge before going to the reception to grab some details at the Black Knight Inn. Luckily, the crazy weather passed quickly so the drive back to Edmonton in anticipation the next days’ wedding went smoothly.

So, you think it’s funny to show cans of OFF!… i think the OFF! was a guest at about 90% of my weddings this past year… it was a bad time for mosquitos in AB!

Canmore Wedding Photographers | Bethany & Jason | Silvertip Resort wedding

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Bethany & Jason’s Canmore destination wedding was the last wedding of my three wedding weekend, and boy, it was a fabulous way to end a very busy weekend! Leaving Edmonton, the weather was so-so, but as I got closer to Canmore, the weather just got better and better! The ceremony was outside on a gorgeous plateau at Silvertip Resort overlooking the mountains. We stayed around Silvertip for most of the photos, although we did go down into the river in Canmore. The reception was also at Silvertip and it was just perfect!!

Just look at that backdrop for the ceremony! Stunning!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Anastasia & James | OTS Centennial wedding

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Anastasia & James’ wedding was my 2nd of the weekend and it was still raining when I headed off to hang out with the girls getting ready and we feared the weather wasn’t going to co-operate for the day. It was looking a bit cheerier once the girls were ready to go to the ceremony at St John the Evangelist. Halfway through the ceremony, the rain dried up and the sun came out… and we knew that had to be a good sign!!

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

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

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

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

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!
