Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Leanne & Tyler | Union Bank Inn wedding

I can’t believe it’s been more than five months since Leanne & Tyler’s fabulous wedding at the Union Bank Inn! I started the day at Leanne’s Parents home for the girls getting ready before heading downtown to the Union Bank Inn for the ceremony. I love looking back at these photos and just watching Tyler’s face light up every time he looked at Leanne! It was so sweet! After the ceremony we headed off to the High Level bridge and to my favourite parkade for the “formal” photos. They had such a great wedding party too! We finished up the night back at the the Union Bank Inn where there were lots of laughs and lots of tears (my favourite!). We had such a great time and I”m so happy I was able to witness a celebration of so much love!!

Leanne had such a pretty dress!

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!

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!!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Kathryn & Lucas | Sneak Peek

Last weekend I had the pleasure of second shooting a fabulous wedding with Sheri from Capture It Photography at Shalom Park. I love the chance to second shoot because I’m not the one running the show and I get to try some different angles that I normally wouldn’t get to do otherwise, so it’s always super fun for me. Plus, I love being at weddings, so I go as often as I can! Kathryn & Lucas were a fabulous couple and I really loved getting to tag along to watch such wonderful people get married. Here’s one of my favourite wedding party shots from the day in downtown Edmonton on the way to the LRT.

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Kelly & Dwight’s wedding | Sneak Peek

Kelly and Dwight were married in Edmonton on the May long weekend which also happens to be my anniversary weekend. Impeccable taste, I must say! icon wink sneak peeks edmonton weddings Unlike most May long weekends, this one was warm! Although, sadly, filled with mosquitos (my itchy spotted legs still curse you mosquitos!), we still managed to get some bridal party photos outside. This is one of favourite group shots. Yes, the traffic over the bridge was deafeningly loud. Yes, there might have been a few too many pigeons flying about. But I thought it was totally worth it! Not sure if everyone else agreed, but look at how awesome it looks!? Thank you to a great wedding party for suffering it out for me! I really appreciate it! More wedding images coming later, but enjoy this sneak peek for now!
