Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Patti & Raj’s wedding | Convocation Hall & Mirage Banquet Hall

Well, we’re going all the back to June for this one. June 18th, to be exact. We met up with Patti & Raj at the Meterra Hotel on Whyte where Patti and the girls were getting ready on a very rainy day in Edmonton. The ladies were looking fabulous and I think that I took my most favourite getting ready image ever here (it’s the one of Patti by the window in back view… I just love it). After the girls were done getting ready, we went downstairs where Patti & Raj had their first look before heading off to do the wedding party portraits. It was raining so hard that day that decided to shoot in a parkade, and well, I love the parkade shots!

After the group shots we headed off to the fabulous ceremony at Convocation Hall. Slightly after the big kiss, the weather started to clear and we were able to take advantage of the brilliant green leaf-covered walls after the rain for a few more portraits of our Bride and Groom together before we hit the road to the Mirage Banquet Hall where the reception was held. And did you check out Patti’s awesome all white orchid bouquet from the Wild Orchid Flower Shop? The reception was a great party, especially they had Urban Metropolis rockin’ the house all night! We ended the night with a bit of a photobooth. It was such a great time and I was so happy to be there to capture it all! Congratulations Patti & Raj!!

This bouquet by the Wild Orchid Flower Shop in an orchid explosion! It’s got lots of pinky-purple and green orchids mixed with green roses! It’s bright and fresh and fabulous! Also love the green metal nest at the base of this bouquet too!

I’m hoping this bouquet will be bright enough to help get the snow melting so we can finally have spring in Edmonton. This super bright bouquet is from the Wild Orchid Flower Shop and has bright pink gerberas, Dendrobium orchids and orange tiger lillies!

This bouquet is a whole lot of fabulous! I still love the look of peacock feathers and they look awesome in this green & blue bridal bouquet by the Wild Orchid Flower Shop. It’s got blue (Dendrobium?) orchids, green (Cymbidium?) orchids and awesome green spider mums mixed in with the feathers. I love it!

I’m not really a pink kinda girl. Although, in combination with lime green (oh yes), I can handle little bits of pink and like it a lot! Like in this fresh pink and green wedding bouquet from the Wild Orchid Flower Shop. I love the green flowers in this bouquet… I even had the green button mums and green roses in my own wedding bouquet.
