The Halabi’s Lebanese Wedding at St. Albert Botanic Park, Edmonton

The Halabi’s Lebanese Wedding at St. Albert Botanic Park, Edmonton

“It’s always been him
She smiled
Our souls danced just the same.”

-Atticus

Their Story!

Here is a link to the couple’s engagement session:

Halabi Fall Engagement at Guinevere Park, Edmonton

Andy Getting Ready

Andy got ready at his home. His jacket was personalized to reflect the wedding date under the collar. What a neat idea! The boys matched their suits and went with a classic dark and light blue. Perfectly matched with the bridal party’s theme of purples!

Ashley Getting Ready

Ashley chose a tiara to go with her beautiful wedding dress. While she got ready, we took some photos of the tiny details like her bag that looks like a number plate, the ring, bouquet, and the elegant shoes to complete the look.

THEIR CEREMONY AT ASHLEY’S PARENTS HOME, EDMONTON

In Lebanese traditional weddings, the wedding party first meets at the bride’s home, the groom arrives amid lots of singing and dancing. This is exactly what happened with Ashley and Andy. Andy arrived to lots of cheering to meet and receive his beautiful bride. There were some speeches and phenomenal Lebanese food to go along with the festivities. This was followed by some family photos at the couple’s home and some at a beautiful park nearby!

FAMILY PHOTOS AT THE COUNTRY LODGE

We went to St. Albert Botanic Park for some of the family photos and creative formals with the bride and groom. It was a perfect summer day for a wedding and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.

CREATIVE FORMALS AT ST. ALBERT BOTANIC PARK

We stayed at the St. Alberta Botanic park for the creative formals (photos with the bride, groom, and bridal party). The green backdrop combined with a sunny day made the photos beautiful! The guys blew us away with a superhero pose (blew us away, get it?)

We took some photos with the bridal party followed by some more intimate moments between the bride and groom.

THE RECEPTION AT THE COUNTRY LODGE, EDMONTON

The reception was a party we all want to be part of. The whole family led a traditional dance Dabke, a folk dance performed at Lebanese weddings to mark the joyous occasion! It looked super fun and complex to me but I still had a great time taking photos. Pack comfortable shoes for this one, you’ll be on your feet for a while!
The whole day was a glam affair. You can’t miss the smoke in their reception photos or the stunning venue and Zaffe drummers to make it a party! Keeping with the tradition, they also had fireworks on their special day. This was one party everyone wanted to go to!

It was amazing to work with Ashley & Andy on their wedding day and we are honored to have been a part of their story! You can check out the rest of our work on our blog.

Leina & Ajay’s Wedding at Edmonton Street Car

wedding-in-edmonton-street-car-edmonton-wedding-photographer-box-cube-photography

Leina & Ajay’s Wedding in Edmonton Street Car

A Story Book Ending! Literally!

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise,
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.” – Hafiz

The Wedding Slideshow

Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that we created for Leina & Ajay. It was created from a selection of photos that tell the story of the couple’s wedding day.

Their Story!

Here is a link to the couple’s engagement session:

The Manuel’s Engagement Session at Hawrelak Park, Edmonton

Ajay Getting Ready at the Varscona Hotel, Edmonton

We started the day off with some getting ready photos of Ajay in the morning with his groomsmen! We started off with some photos of details like Ajay’s jacket, the rings and his shoes. Then we get an adorable photo of Ajay as he opened a gift Leina had given to him for the wedding: a pen with Ajay’s name on it! The Varscona Hotel is an awesome location as we had some awesome window light for the photos combined with classic furniture.

Leina Getting Ready at the Varscona Hotel, Edmonton

After photographing Ajay, we went to Leina’s room within the same hotel and started with some of her details including her shoes, jewelery and her dress. Leina’s bridesmaids (Hillary & Madhu) happen to be my (Sharyar) former classmates and it was awesome seeing them again after years. They had both flown in to attend Leina’s wedding and were wonderful bridesmaid. We also photographed a first look for Leina and her dad where her dad saw Leina in the dress for the first time. It was a beautiful and emotional moment <3

Ceremony in the Edmonton Street Car

There is some magic to Ajay and Leina’s story. Ajay literally wrote a book about their story and this is just cheery on the top. Ajay and Leina decided to get married on the iconic Edmonton Street Car. If you want to read more about the Edmonton Street Car and this awesome venue, check out our blog post about it here!

The wedding ceremony was officiated by Julie Tkachuk. It was a beautiful ceremony that included happy tears and smile in abundance. Even I cried at one point… Seeing two of my friends get married was emotional!

Formals in the Storm! And Nuggets 😀

After the ceremony, we stopped at the Edmonton Street Car barn where we took some family photos for the couple. After that, we started doing formal photos and by this point, some storm clouds had rolled in. There was also a tornado advisory at that point so it was weeee bit windy. It started raining heavily and we created this photo!

At this point, Amanda, my wonderful second shooter had to drag me and the couple so the hail wouldn’t kill us! Thanks Amanda!

Well, I couldn’t really give up so we went and enjoyed some McDonald’s and took some more photos there that you can see below. I wouldn’t be surpised if more couples want to use McDonalds as a location for the wedding photos after these 😀

Reception at the Faculty Club

Leina & Ajay held their reception the next day at the Faculty club where they were joined by their friends and family. The faculty club was exactly the right venue as the University of Alberta was where their journey began years ago. There was an awesome choregraphed first dance followed by tearful (happy) father daughter dance. I did end up dragging the couple outside to do some sunset photos and I am so happy that they trusted me even with all the mosquitos biting us!

Oh and here is a selfie of us from the engagement session!

I am so excited to share these images and I am so happy for Leina and Ajay!!

Foster Waterfall Engagement Session in Alberta, Canada

waterfall-engagement-session-mountains-alberta-rockies-engagement-photographer

Miranda & Jessie’s Waterfall Engagement Session!

A sunrise, waterfall, and smoke bombs. What else do you need?

“I want to see you. Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come ’round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you’ve just left. Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot. Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part, just the slightest bit, when I lean in to your space and kiss you. I want to know the joy of how you whisper ‘more.’” – unknown

The Engagement Slideshow

Above is the Engagement Slideshow that I created for the Miranda & Jessie from their engagement photos.

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Miranda & Jessie met as children since one of Miranda’s friend’s brother was friends with Jessie. Their love story did not start then though! It starts 10 years later when Miranda & Jessie met again at Blue on Whyte. The reconnected and knew that they had something more than friendship going for them. Two years later, Jessie went down on one knee and asked Miranda to marry him! He also ensured a photographer was there to document the moment!

They are both waterfall chasers and as such, we had to photograph their engagement session at a waterfall! We went to Crescent Falls by Rocky Mountain house and started bright and early right around sunrise. We spent almost the entire morning walking around the beautiful landscape and getting some gorgeous photos of the couple. Miranda wore a beautiful black gown and brought along smoke grenades! Add them together and we had magic!

My partner, Momina was super helpful during the session as she ran around popping the smoke grenade to create the cool smoke clouds you see in the photos below.

Eventually, we hiked down to the waterfall itself where a cold spray of water greeted us. This did nothing to deter this insane couple (in a good way).

It was amazing to work with Miranda & Jessie for their engagement photos and I am honored to have been a part of their story! You can check out the rest of my work on my blog.

MJ & Shaneen’s Wedding at Devon Lions Campground // Devon Photographer

Love in all its beauty!

“Life is full of choices, Loving you isn’t one of them – I have no control over that.” – Unknown

I am honored that MJ & Shaneen chose me to photograph their love and their beautiful wedding day! The wedding was a beautiful ceremony by the side of the North Sasketchwan River. The happy couple tied a knot with all of their friends and family surrounding them. Their vows were full of heart-felt stories that made everyone cry! MJ actually sang a song as part of her vows (“I wanna grow old with you” by Adam Sandler”). And last but not least, Theodore, the couple’s adorable dog joined us as the ring-bearer for the ceremony!

The Lea’s Fall Wedding in Edmonton

The Best of Me

“Grow old with me! The best is yet to be” – Robert Browning

Their Story!

The Wedding Slideshow

Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with Nathan & Mackenzie’s wedding. It was created from a selection of photos that tell the story of the couple’s wedding day.

NATHAN GETTING READY IN STYLE

The wedding truly begins with preparations and the magic is in the details. Our day began at The Best Western Plus Fort Saskatchewan Inn & Suites. With cool axes with his name, the coordinating boutonnière and cufflinks, and the perfect shoes to compliment his outfit, the groom didn’t take any chances for his big day. Nathan’s dad also gave us #dadgoals with their heartfelt picture together. The groomsmen pulled all stops to showcase their support too! With matching axes and coordinated outfits, they made a great party!

MACKENZIE GETTING READY TO IMPRESS

The preparations showed throughout the day, with a dashing ring bearer who meant business and props for making a special announcement.
Mackenzie got ready at a rustic house near the wedding venue. We got some pictures of the bride and her mom sharing some cute moments. She rocked her tattoos and really let her personality shine through. What is more badass than being a work of art on your big day?

THEIR CEREMONY IN A UNIQUE LOCATION

The ceremony took place in an unusual off-path location near a highway. The details really added to the day. From their furry friend Misha to the little surprise they had for the wedding guests. The rings were escorted by an efficient young man who took his job very seriously. Nathan and Mackenzie said their vows in standing at a rustic setting with a really cool compass, some buckets full of flowers and eyes full of love!
We love food. Apparently these two do too! Instead of having a cake, they had a donut tower by The Italian Bakery. You heard it right. Not only were they pretty as a bunch but also delicious!

FAMILY PHOTOS

We were able to capture the warmth and love that the whole family had for these two and we’re so glad we did! We recognise that family is an important part of their happiness so it’s only appropriate to save those memories right at the location of the ceremony! We are sure they will always look back on these with fondness.

CREATIVE FORMALS TO CHERISH

The day was perfect for taking some beautifully lit photos. One of our favourite shots is the one with Mackenzie on a bench and Nathan pecking her cheek. It truly reminds one of a storybook romance.
Have you ever wondered what a ‘perfect ending’ looks like?
It looks like all those gooey eyes that give us serious wedding fever, but also some truly special moments where it’s just the two of them. The bridal party helped make the pictures so much cuter! We are just glad to have been there to capture it all!

THE RECEPTION

Some ceremonies truly turn out to perfectly. This was one of them. But the reception topped the list for the most fun event! Nathan and Mackenzie used cute props to announce that they are expecting a baby! Not surprisingly, the audience got really emotional. All that happiness in one room was truly spectacular to witness. So we got to do some pre-baby photos which the couple showed in a slideshow at the wedding! The audience oohed and aahed at some really heartfelt toasts and many tears and laughs were shared.
Nathan and Mackenzie started the part with a first dance and then everyone truly took it off! The DJ kept the party rocking and the groomsmen wowed with some fantastic moves. The bride and groom also came for one last showdown too!
We were also able to capture the classic moments to catch the flying bouquet as Mackenzie tossed it.

It was amazing to work with Mackenzie and Nathan on their wedding day and we are honored to have been a part of their story! You can check out the rest of our work on our blog.

Fall in Love

“Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life… love gives us a fairy tale.”
-Melissa Brown

The Engagement Ring and the Lovely Couple

We all want to find ‘the one’, and there are thousands of ways to find them. For these two, it was through other loved ones. Baljeet and Gurminder met through an arranged marriage and struck gold! Gurminder put a gorgeous oval cut, floral cluster halo ring on the lovely bride.
The adventurous couple was happy to stroll the grounds and let us capture their love befittingly.

The Engagement Session at The Alberta Legislature Building

A little sunshine, fall colors and crunchy leaves made for the perfect setting of a beautiful engagement session.
The couple chose The Alberta Legislature Building for their engagement session. With its marble pillars and carved oak, the stunning grounds and Beaux-Arts architecture, it is the perfect place to start a new chapter.
The venue is known for its history, the simplicity and the pictures reflect the couple’s own elegance. The greens and yellows made for beautiful backdrops and truly made the pictures a treat. They intend to have their big day in India with friends and family and we hope the occasion turns out perfectly!

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Baljeet and Gurminder engagement photos and we wish them the best for their big day.

The Mayotte’s Wedding at The Country Lodge, Edmonton

The Perfect Fall Wedding at the Country Lodge

Nicole & Brodie’s wedding was the perfect fall wedding once could have asked for. It was filled with golden colors and glorious autumn light. Leading up to their wedding, the Edmonton weather had been horrible. It was filled with rains and unpleasantly cold temperatures. Lo and behold, the wedding day arrives and the sky is miraculously clear and we get pleasantly warm weather. It was a perfect day to get married!

Their Story!

The Mayotte’s Engagement Session at University of Alberta, Edmonton

Brodie Getting Ready and Playing Settlers!

We started the Mayotte’s wedding day at the couple’s house where Brodie was getting ready. His groomsmen had joined him for the preparations and they all looked very dapper even before they put on their wedding attire. We photographed some of the details including the cufflinks, the Steve Madden shoes, the rings and his classy white tie. At one point, the groom and groomsmen got into a game of settlers and I made sure we got some goofy photos of that! We finished this part of the day with some classic posed black and white photos of the groom and his groomsmen!

Nicole & Her Cool Group of Bridesmaids

This section started with us photographing a gorgeous bottle of champagne that the bride and her bridesmaids were enjoying when we got to their location. Following that, we photographed the details including Nicole’s beautiful wedding dress, the jewelry she wore, her shoes and her beautiful teal scarf. The ladies also wore matching bridesmaids gowns that looked fantastic together! We finally took some photos as Nicole put on her dress and got ready for the ceremony!

Their Ceremony at The Country Lodge, Edmonton

The country lodge is such an amazing venue. It is this tiny little cabin on the north side of Edmonton that has gorgeous grounds all around it. I have had the pleasure of photographing multiple weddings there and each one turned out amazing! Nicole and Brodie’s ceremony was held on the ground of the Country Lodge and to say it was beautiful would be an understatement. The ceremony was conducted by Julie Tkachuk who happens to be one of our favorite officiants and a preferred vendor as well!

The couple made their exit to bubbles being blown by their loved ones all around them. It was gorgeous!!!

The Family Photos at the Country Lodge

We understand the importance of family and always strive to get family photos for our clients on their wedding day. For Nicole & Brodie, we used the fall foliage backdrop of the grounds and took some beautiful family photos after their ceremony. We are 100% certain the families will cherish these memories years down the road.

The Creative Formals at Red Willow Park, St. Albert

The creative formals are by far our favorite part of the day. Here we get to create some epic portraits for our clients by using various posing and photography techniques. During our scheduling meeting, Nicole and Brodie had asked me for a location that we could do their family formals at. I suggested the Red Willow Park as a great location since it was close to their wedding venue and had the perfect fall colors. The couple went ahead and found a train trestle which worked out so well for some of the portraits!

We took some creative portraits of the couple as well as some hilarious group photos with the rest of the bridal party! We know the bridal party members are an important part of the wedding day so we photograph them and give them some of the limelight! At one point, two of the groomsmen kissed while the couple was kissing for a photo. That photo might just be my very favorite photo of this year!

The Mayotte’s Reception at The Country Lodge

Nicole and Brodie entered to thunderous applause from their guests! The reception started right away with dinner of course! Their reception was really cool because they had a

The Dinner provided by the Country Lodge

The dinner was a delicious buffet provided by the excellent staff at the country lodge!

Decoration by Brodie & Nicole!

Given their attention to details and extraordinary design ability, Nicole & Brodie selected and even made some fo the decor for the reception. The results turned out absolutely gorgeous!

Amazing Cupcakes by Sammy

Instead of having the usual wedding cake, the couple chose to go with cupcakes instead. The cupcakes were made by Sammy who is a friend of the couple. She did an excellent job of the cupcakes. I can attest to that as I had three myself!

T-Rex at a Wedding

Now if I tell you I saw a dinosaur at a wedding, would you believe me? No, well go look at the pictures below because this couple had a t-rex at their wedding #weddinggoalsformyownwedding.

First Dance!

Nicole and Brodie started the party with their cute first dance together. They were then joined by their parents for the father daughter and mother son dances. We got a chance to photograph everyone enjoying themselves on the dance floor to the beat of the DJ.

The Mayotte’s Wedding Day Slideshow

Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with BRIDE & GROOM’s wedding package. It was created from a selection of their best photos.
