Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Pragya & Micheal’s Wedding | Devonian Gardens & Coast Edmonton East Hotel

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

It’s been a few months since Pragya and Michael’s amazing wedding (it was a great way to celebrate my birthday hanging out with them!), and I am trying to get caught up on showing off all of the beautiful weddings I’ve photographed so far this year, so look forward to lots more action on the blog in the next month or two.

Pragya and Michael’s wedding took place over a week and I joined them for some of the festivities. We watched the tail end of the mendhi party and were there to watch friends and family sing and dance at Pragya’s mother’s home. It was quite a party and the food was amazing (from Guru!).
The wedding day was a hot and sunny day and we went early to the Devonian Gardens to enjoy another feast by Guru before we got to work. ) This wedding was only my second Indian wedding ever, so I was constantly fascinated by everything that I saw surrounding me and I loved all of the different traditions and events leading up to the ceremony. The ceremony was an an absolutely spectacular site with design by ID Bohemia (they designed the reception too!). It was a fabulous Hindu ceremony and afterwards we photographed Michael and Pragya in the Japanese gardens before heading off to their amazing reception at the Coast Edmoton East Hotel in Sherwood Park.We had such an amazing time with Michael and Pragya and I wished the night never ended, it was so much fun! Here’s some of my favourite images from their gorgeous wedding!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Pragya & Michael’s wedding | Sneak Peek

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

It hasn’t even been 24 hours since leaving Pragya and Michael’s rockin’ wedding, but I just couldn’t wait to get a few photos ready to show them off to the world! As I’ve been sorting through the images, I was having a hard time narrowing it down to just a few to preview. I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but there were more than a few times that I had fight back tears looking at their gorgeous Hindu ceremony at the Devonian Gardens. The way Pragya & Michael looked at each other, sneaking glimpses. Wow. I could see just how much they love each other and boy do I feel special for getting to capture that! It’s really hard to decide on just one photo to show for the sneak peek, but I just love how casual and comfortable Pragya & Michael are together in this photo and it shows just how fun they are laughing and dipping their toes in the stream. Of course, it was a good way to show off Pragya’s incredible mendhi!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Christine & Jamie’s wedding at the Devonian Gardens, near Devon, AB

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

July 17, 2010 was a wickedly hot Saturday with sunshine and pretty blue skies and I found myself hanging out with the boys (for a change) while they got ready as I second shot for Elana Sacino of Starshine Photography for Christine and Jamie’s wedding. It’s nice to be the second shooter sometimes because you get to be around a much calmer and relaxed atmosphere with the guys. Once everyone was ready, we headed south to the Devonion Gardens where the ceremony took place on the newly finished wedding patio. Everyone looked spectacular and I was in love with the flowers from Graham and Lane. We also shot the bridal party formals at the Devonian Gardens and I got to spend lots of time with just the bridal party and they were amazing! It was lots of fun spending time on getting great shots to show them off! Congratulations to Christine and Jamie, it was a beautiful day!

Summer wedding at the Devonian Gardens with Sara & Tim

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

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!
