Randy & Christa's Special Day is Captured with Their Edmonton Wedding Photographer!





Randy and Christa chose Jasper, Alberta to hold their wedding rather than their native Fort MacMurray, and their choice paid off. Their nuptials were held at a beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park.




Having such a gorgeous landscape as a shooting location, a handsome couple, and a talented photographer certainly makes for stunning photographs. Multiple locations throughout the national park were used, including both the aforementioned Pyramid Lake and the Maligne lookout. Needless to say, Randy and Christa were impressed and happy with their wedding photos!






Randy and Christa epitomized a romantic couple on their wedding day, as they looked both elegant, stunning, and completely in love. Christa's bridal gown was a classic halter style, with paralled nicely with the ceremony location, and their sophisticated reception held at the Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre in Jasper.






Instant Memories would like to thank Randy and Christa for the opportunity to work with such an amazing couple on such a special day!

Rain or Shine, Ashley & Steven Celebrate with Their Edmonton Wedding Photographer




Take one cute couple, an uproariously entertaining bridal party, an adorable ring bearer, a stunning ceremony location, an enduring flower girl, and then add an elegant reception, and you have the perfect wedding.


Ashley and Steven were married at a gorgoueous outdoor ceremony at the Devonian Botanical Gardens, just outside of Edmonton. The bride Ashley, who not only was wildly photogenic, but also adored pictures, planned the day accordingly. Formal portraits of the family, the bridal party, and the bride and groom themselves were done at the Devonian Botanical Gardens prior to the outdoor ceremony.







This allowed Ashley and Steven's wedding photographer to shoot extensively throughout the gardens. Formal portraits were shot in the Japanese garden, a background that could stand up to how elegantely manicured Ashley and her bridesmaids were.




After formal portraits, Ashley and Steven were then married at an outdoor ceremony in an another beautiful part of the Devonian Botanical Gardens. Their ceremony was immaculately timed, as they finished their nuptials the sky clouded over and became stormy black. The sky added dramatic accent to all of the hot pink accents Ashley had used that day.






En route to their reception at the Sutton Place Hotel, Ashley and Steven had more formal portraits taken at the Legislative grounds in downtown Edmonton. With the grounds being deserted after the aforementioned storm, Ashley, Steven and their wedding photographer were allowed to explore and utilize the grounds well landscaped areas and beautiful architecture.





Instant Memories would like to thank Ashley and Steven for allowing them to be part of such a special day!

A Japanese Garden in Edmonton Makes the Perfect Wedding Location for Amanda, Marc, and Their Photographer






With whimsical Japanese umbrellas to perfectly accentuate a Japanese garden, Amanda married Marc on a beautiful summer's day in Edmonton.





Theirs was a smaller ceremony and reception, lending an intimate and sincere flavour to their nuptials. The cozy bridal party allowed their photographer to try a multitude of locations throughout the Devonian Botanical Gardens. The brides' and bridesmaid's bouquets looked lovely when photographed in an area so abundant with green flora. The elegant and feminine look of their dresses complimented their surroundings with breathtaking harmony.



Having a smaller bridal party meant that Amanda and Marc's wedding photographer could focus a lot of time on formal portraits of the bride and groom. With the summer light ever changing throughout the course of the day, their photographer was able to create gorgeous and evocative photographs. With varying light and locations used in their photo session, Amanda and Marc have photographs that range from sweetly romantic to energetic, spontaneous to decorous.

Congratulations Amanda and Marc!

Lindsay & Justin Brighten Government House With Their Edmonton Wedding Photographer







With equal parts of great humour and fun, Lindsay and Justin were married with a beautiful ceremony in Edmonton. Formal portraits of the couple, along with a plenitude of bridesmaids and groomsmen, were taken at the Royal Alberta Museums Government House. The bright, sunny day not only fit the mood of the newly married couple, but it made the colours of Lindsay's bouquet and her bridesmaids dresses pop!




Lindsay and Justin own a framing studio in Edmonton, so they had a great creative eye and knew what wedding photos they wanted. Combine that with a creative photographer and a stunning setting and you have photos worthy of Lindsay and Justin's frames.


These newlyweds were an energetic and engaging couple, that had their wedding photographer ride along with them in their limo for intimate, candid shots of their bridal party. Combine that with a handsome groom, lovely bride, and an outpouring of creativity, and you have an absolute idyllic wedding!

Shayna & Kurt Make Cinderella Jealous With Their Edmonton Wedding Photographer




With a ceremony that could have easily been ripped from the pages of a fairytale, Shayna and Kurt, along with their darling daughter Eva, were married at the Lily Lake Resort.


It was a stunning ceremony, held outdoors, on the beautiful grounds of the Lily Lake Resort. Every detail was reminiscent of the romantic era. Shayna's dress resembled that of an elaborate ballgown, complete with a crown of soft curls. Eva, the flower girl and daughter of the couple, was not forgotten as she looked charming in her flower girl dress. To complete their fairy tale, Shayna and Kurt were whisked away in a horse drawn carriage.







Their photographer used the natural landscaping at the resort, along with timeless architecture to achieve a varied and unique photo session. The gorgeous couple looked amazing as they were photographed, and easily could be on the cover of Bride's magazine.

Congratulations, Shayna and Kurt, on your beautiful new family!

Jack and Jackline Enjoy Their Day with Their Edmonton Wedding Photographer






Jack and Jackline were an exquisite couple on their wedding day in Edmonton, Alberta. Following an intimate ceremony, pictures were done at various locations around the Royal Alberta Museum and the Country Lodge.




The sweet newlyweds didn't let the intense heat of their wedding day slow them down. Photos were taken at the Government House by the Alberta Museum, along with various other spots found in the river valley. At the Country Lodge, a field of canola and a vivid blue sky were used as a dramatic backdrop to many photos featuring the gorgeous bride and groom.






In between a cozy yet energetic reception, Jack and Jackline's photographers were able to take advantage of the lovely green space and beautiful evening light at the Country Cabin. This was a beautiful setting for intimate portraits of the bride and groom amidst the celebratory ambiance on their wedding evening.



We would like to congratulate Jack & Jackline on a beautiful wedding!
