We took a quick break to grab some Sushi at Safeway.

We have affectionetly dubbed Candace and Chris as our “Edmonton transplant” couple. Originally from Sunny California, Candace met and fell in love with Chris who was there visiting his best friend (Candace’s brother!!). Due to some pretty strict immigration laws Chris was unable to stay in the US at the time so they moved back to Edmonton, which is now home for them and their little baby boy Troy (what a cutie!).  We had a terrific day hanging out with them and their families who flew from all over the US to be here for the wedding. Thank you Chris and Candace for choosing us to capture your special day.

Here’s a sneak peek of Candace.

Jamil and Shaista had a colorful, energetic, love-filled wedding. It was such fun to watch them giggle and exchange stolen glances with one another as we photographed them. Sometimes you just know when a couple is meant to be and that certainly is the case with Jamil and Shaista! They had their reception at the luxurious Hotel MacDonald in the famed Empire Ballroom and the entire room was decorated perfectly, adding to the majesty of the night. As a bonus their favors were personalized M&M’s!! So delicious. How’d they know M&M’s are our favourite?

A sneak of the peek at Jamil and Shaista. It was a beautiful day and we can’t wait to share the rest.

Dana and Jon are a fun-loving couple who are always smiling! We first met Dana and Jon in the winter of 2009 to talk about photography services for their wedding and we clicked! They ended up booking us on the spot (Sweet! Thanks guys). As their day approached we met again to check out their ceremony venue at the beautiful Emily Murphy Park. We could tell the excitement was mounting and they were ready for their day! On the day of the wedding, Jon and the guys were pretty relaxed, watching a movie and hanging out in Beaumont, AB. The groomsmen decided to amp up the excitement by sending a joking message to the bridal party that Jon was so nervous he had already mowed the lawn twice and had begun a third round! The girls, of course, giggled although I’m not sure they were convinced the joke was true. We arrived at Emily Murphy Park before the Bride arrived and had plenty of time to set up and take a few shots of Jon before the ceremony. When Dana showed up the ceremony began. Jon was standing waiting for his beautiful bride with an enormous grin as Dana had an emotional walk down the aisle with her Mom. After the ceremony had finished we started off the formals with a fun, “let loose” activity for the bridal party and then got right into the swing of things. It was a blast!

Ceremony : Emily Murphy Park

Wedding Formals : University of Alberta

Reception Location : Royal Mayfair Golf and Country Club

While the girls were preping, the flower girl was preping her basket full of petals. It’s really sad to know that she was so nervous walking down the aisle that she forgot to leave any petals behind.

More to come from their fabulous wedding!

This Saturday I was invited out to be a ”second shooter” at wedding photographed by the fabulous Erik Hornung. It was a really fun day hanging out with Erik while photographing Andy and Lindsey’s special day. I started out with the groom and the groomsmen in the morning and from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I left at the end of the night everyone was having fun and partying hard!  Thanks to Erik for having me along.

Location:  Edmonton Alberta Canada, River Valley, Louis Mckinny Park

Venues: St. Sava Serbian Church, Meridian Banquet Hall

Here are a few images from the day.

Jason and Heather got married at a little lodge down by the river. I had no idea this place existed and it’s full of beautiful landscapes and a wonderous location for a wedding. This wedding was designed by the bride, a designer herself and there was not a detail missed, even signs to mark off “photo zones”  in places she wanted to have photographs taken. Thanks for having me as your second shooter Karla

And again here is Heather, you’ve seen this one before but we think she looks so good that you might like to take a 2nd look.

Here is James and Julie, this wedding was crazy fun from the moment we arrived at Julie’s parents house, upon arrival, the boys were outside playing games with the bridesmaids. Their goal was to complete the tasks or pay the nine million dollar ransom, so they played the games. A lot of them are NSFW so they will not be posted, but believe you me, it was hilarious. Eventually James got into the house, with the help of some special mini cupcakes he brought along. The day went on without a hitch, the reception was another crazy crazy time, complete with Micheal Jackson dancing, Spider Man dancing, Beyonce dancing and a surprise dance by the bride and grooms themselves. Congratulations James and Julie, thanks for sharing your wonderful day with us. A special thank you to Karla for inviting me to second shoot with you this weekend.
