A Skater, Bride, and a Wedding Photographer Create Avant-Garde Images in Edmonton




It took a skater boy, a bride, and an edgy photographer to create such unique images!




Yvette and Blair were married at a gorgeous ceremony in St. Albert, Alberta. Being a fun, young couple, Yvette and Blair wanted their wedding to be different. A skater themed wedding definitely sufficed! Blair's groomsmen wore skater shoes, and a majority of the couple's wedding portraits were taken in a skater park in St. Albert. A bride in a skater park definitely creates juxtaposition, thus lending a unique and avant-garde flavour to their wedding photos.





Yvette and Blair's photographer then blended the modern with the old by using the St. Albert Grotto as a backdrop. The grotto was appropriate for the couple, as Yvette's grandfather help construct it.

Congratulations Yvette and Blair for having such a special wedding!






























































A skater boy, a bride, and a photographer with edge made this wedding a roaring success.

Old World Romance in Edmonton with Angie, Tim and their Wedding Photographer



Classic and timeless was their wedding, something straight out of an old world romance novel. Angie was a stunning bride down to every last detail, from the hair, the shoes, the bouquet and the glimmer in her eye upon seeing her handsome groom on her wedding day. With emotions so grand they caused the bride to both tremor and tear, Angie and Tim exchanged their nuptials during a beautiful ceremony at Knox Metropolitan Church in Edmonton, Alberta.




Not to be outdone, the reception was flawless as it was held at the Hotel MacDonald. The Empire Ballroom was filled with a field of orchids and roses, set against a backdrop of gold and turquoise. A string quartet filled the room with classic waltzes, and the bride and groom celebrated their union by dancing slowly, as if no one was watching, until the wee hours of the morning.
Thank you, Angie & Tim, for allowing us to be part of your special day!

Vanessa & Chris Outlast the Rain with their Edmonton Wedding Photographer




It started out as a beautiful and sunny day for Vanessa and Chris, as they exchanged their nuptials at the Edson Golf and Country Club. Their pictures were taken along with their bridal party at a beautifully landscaped garden at the Heritage Court Retirement Home. Having a young and vibrant bridal party always makes for great photos, so when their photographer discovered a fun graffiti wall not too far away, everyone was excited to try something different.









Half way through their photo session, a thunderstorm broke through and took everyone by surprise. Vanessa and Chris were nonchalant about the change in weather, and chose to wait out the rain in the hopes that the storm would pass so they could continue with their photos. Their perseverance paid off, as the the storm did pass and their photographer was able to use the aforementioned graffiti wall. It was a great choice, as the colours in the wall were the perfect compliment to Vanessa's eyes.
Thank you Vanessa and Chris for making us part of your special day!

Claire & Matthew Celebrate in Jasper with their Edmonton Wedding Photographer




Claire and Matthew looked picture perfect as they tied the knot in Jasper National Park. It was a fun shoot, as all formal portraits were taken within the national park. The rugged landscape juxtaposed the soft romantic feel of the day. To complete the experience, numerous vehicles that drove by honked their horns to wish the newlyweds well.







Having Jasper National Park so close to Hinton made using the national park for photos rather convenient. Claire and Matthew held their reception at the Overlander Lodge in Hinton, where the wedding ceremony was held.




Congratulations Claire and Matthew on a beautiful wedding!
