Last fall I had the pleasure of doing an engagement shoot with Nadine and Josh in Edmonton’s downtown area. Fast forward to last Saturday and the couple’s wedding day arrived. The day was full of emotion and fun as these two were married in front of a large group of happy family and friends. While being a little suspect first thing Saturday morning, the weather ended up being great - by the time Nadine was ready the cool, cloudy, and windy morning had magically transformed into a hot summer’s day which suited their outdoor ceremony just fine. Here are some of the photos from the day.

Saturday morning had Nadine and her bridesmaids getting ready at her parent’s home.

The ceremony began early in the afternoon at the Country Lodge - Nadine has her first peak at her waiting groom.

A few ring exchange issues get the couple laughing.

The marriage begins with a kiss.

We headed off to Irene Parlby Park in Edmonton’s river valley for some formals.

The stunning ladies of the day smile for the camera.

Jummmmmmp!

The jumping wasn’t done (great air time Josh).

We headed back to the country Lodge for the reception.

I have a feeling Josh had a little something to do with the very cool Transformers cake topper.

The speeches were full of emotion and laughter.

I missed the joke but I kind of wish I hadn’t!

The newlyweds and their parents stepped outside for some classicly poses portraiture.

A nervous groom cuts the cake with the bride.

And the couple share their first dance.




Thanks for making me a part of your big day, Nadine and Josh. Your weddings was alot of fun and made a great start to your future together. Congratulations and cheers!

It was barely a month ago that I met Michelle and Neil for an engagement shoot in the downtown Edmonton area. On Saturday, hot and sunny weather greeted the couple for their wedding day. Happy family and friends enjoyed a touching ceremony followed by some unique events at the reception. Here are some of the photos.

The day began at a family member’s home in west Edmonton where the ladies got ready for the day.

We were soon off to the Woodbend Community Hall at the far southwest tip of Edmonotn for the ceremony. Below, Michelle is escorted by dad to the ceremony.

When Michelle was nine years old, her mother lost a battle with cancer. As such, the couple lit a candle in her honour prior to the ceremony. Later, at the reception, a bouquet was auctioned off in support of cancer research. More than a thousand dollars was raised!

A kiss begins the marriage.

The Muttart was the first stop on our formal trail. The wedding party shows off some sexy below.

The boys make a fashion statement.

Michelle was a fan of some LRT station shots she’d seen in the past on my blog. As such, everyone welcome the chance to get out of the heat and get to work underground.

We headed back to Woodbend for the reception where the couple enjoyed some warm and entertaining speeches.

The couple shared their first dance.

Neil gets a warning from his wife prior to feeding her the cake (and he smartly heeded it).

With a sunset brewing the west, we stepped out for a few photos.







Thanks for making me a part of your wedding day, Michelle and Neil. You two are so obviously and truly in love that I know you have a long and happy marriage ahead. Kudos and great job to you and your guests for the cancer research fundraising. Congratulations and cheers!
