Allison’s Portraits at Terwillegar Park, Edmonton Alberta | Edmonton Portrait Photographer

Every now and then I get a chance to collaborate with some amazing individuals in my profession. These rare chances allow me to experiment with new gear, techniques and idea that I would otherwise never try on a client’s shoot. Given these opportunities are rare and far few to my liking, I savor them when they do arrive. Taking portraits at Terwillegar Park was such a opportunity and I ensured we produced some excellent results while having a fun afternoon!

One of these opportunities showed up on in the month of May when I collaborated with Riti Jain from Makeup & Hair by Riti and Allison Martin. Allison was the model while Riti provided us with her expertise of makeup and hair. We choose a wardrobe based around the idea of complimentary colors.

The location was the beautiful Terwillegar Park in Edmonton, Alberta. Its located near the Saskatchewan River but unfortunately we were unable to access the river due to rainy weather conditions.

Here are some of the fantastic images we were able to produce in our collaboration:

This particular image was one of the more signature shots that I am able to produce my clients. It utilizes a off camera flash in combination with a very shallow depth of field to produce the beautiful bokeh. The ‘bokeh’ refers to the creamy dissolved background behind the model that ensures that the model stands out from the background.

None of the images would be possible without the assistance of Sharon Martin, Allison’s (awesome) mother! She was not only a trooper in the poor weather conditions but actually managed to crack quite a few jokes (some at my expense!) to keep our spirits up!

Box Cube Photography Strives to provide Edmonton Brides with the best in wedding photography services. Our commitment to your big day goes beyond just the wedding itself, it extends into the wedding planning stage as well. Therefore, these collaborations provide us with significant background info regarding the vendors we recommend to you.

Black and white portraits carry amazing potential due to the fact that they strip away the color that acts as almost a distraction thus leaving us with an uninhibited view of the raw image. The only thing that matters int he image is the subject, the emotion and the action visible within the photo. It is almost a synthesis of pure storytelling without the “fluff” of color. Thus, black and white portraits occupy a special place in my heart!

Wedding Makeup & Hair Artist – Riti Jain

Edmonton Hair & Makeup Artist – Riti Jain

We often work with other vendors and we recommend them based on the quality of their services. This helps us provide an entire stress-free experience to our clients. This includes recommending vendors that the clients may be in need of. We often do short interviews with those vendors to ensure our clients know who they might be dealing with.

Riti Jain happens to be one of the hair and makeup artist in Edmonton we often work with. She is often a part of our team when we do collaborative shoots as well for engagement hair and makeup. Did we mention those come complimentary with our wedding packages?

Here is a small snippet of the behind the scenes video of a collaboration we recently worked on together (Model: Patricia Stables)! As you can see she is quite the magician with makeup and hair!

https://vimeo.com/169462910

How did you get started?

I started when I was going through a phase of life. I wanted to get back to my artistic roots. I started exploring some part-time makeup courses and found one that I really liked. At that time I just wanted to do this as a hobby but one of my classmates offered me to do a collaborative photo shoot with her. I did makeup and hair for a model which led me to realize that I have potential to be a freelance makeup and hair artist.

Tell me about your favorite wedding last season.

I had a chance to do makeup for a South Indian wedding where they had three different ceremonies within a day. In the morning, it was a western church ceremony. The afternoon consisted of a traditional Hindu wedding. The evening consisted of a mix of Indo-western reception. I enjoyed that since the bride was extremely easygoing and we had a friendly dynamic. Spending the entire day with the bride was a new experience. We joked around and the family treated me like I was on of theirs. This was refreshing.

How far out should a bride pay a deposit to secure your services for her wedding day?

The moment a bride books her venue and photographer, she should book the hair and makeup artist around the same time.
This is usually at least 6 months before the wedding date. Although there are opening after those dates as well but doing so this much in advance ensures your date isn’t already booked.

What is included when a couple books your services for their wedding?

I offer separate trial and wedding packages. I offer a free consultation that involves going through the various idea and thoughts that the clients have for hair and makeup. This also involves skin analysis. This consultation also allows me to meet my clients and understand their needs thus ensuring a personalized service.

How do you help couples customize their wedding?

I am very flexible in terms of the look that my clients want to achieve. My clientele is very diverse and includes people from all races and cultural backgrounds. This give me the ability to adapt looks to different clients and ensure that you look your best on the wedding day.

What is one interesting fact about your services?

The diversity in my portfolio and my ability to adapt to various different looks.

What do you have planned for the future?

I plan on opening my own studio and supervise my own team of like-minded makeup and hair artists.

How many people can you accommodate? (i.e bridal party makeup)

Up-to 8 people easily. I often work with another artist who assists me for bigger bridal parties.

What makes your services unique?

I am a very good listener and I strive to provide amazing client service.

How long has this business been a part of the community?

3 years

Who would be the best person to contact if a couple wants to book your services?

Cook’s Wedding in Calgary Wedding Pavilion & Carriage House Inn

Cook’s Wedding in Calgary Wedding Pavilion & Carriage House Inn

A beautiful Fall Wedding in Calgary, Alberta

Monika & Anthony decided to tie the knot on the 10th of October 2015. Their wedding was held at the Calgary’s Wedding Pavilion & Carriage House Inn. I was fortunate enough to be a part of their wedding day in collaboration with JM Photography. These are the photographs from their wedding and showcase what a beautiful ceremony it was!

Bride Getting Ready

Monika did most of her bridal prep at the Calgary Wedding Pavillion where the other bridesmaids assisted her. We got some photos of the dress being put on, some detail shots of the jewellery as well as some photos of the beautiful venue itself.

The Wedding Ceremony at the Calgary Wedding Pavillion

Wedding ceremonies represent not only the personality of the couple but also how they envision their lives ahead. Monika & Anthony’s ceremony was not only beautiful but it took place in the stunning Wedding Pavillion. It featured beautiful chandeliers and an amazing array of windows along the walls. Monika entered gracefully via the gorgeous staircase. This led to a magnificent ceremony which was followed by some family portraits and creative formals.

Creative Formals at the Fish Creek Park in Calgary, Alberta

Following the beautiful ceremony, we went down to the Fish Creek Park in Calgary to photograph the bridal party. During the formals, the guys had a lot of fun with the groom where they picked him up at one point in time.

We found a beautiful clearing in the woods that was lined by birch trees. It created a fantastic backdrop for these formals that you can see below:

We also ran into a generous individual who let us borrow his bike for some amazing photos!

Wedding Reception at the Carriage House Inn

Following the formals we travelled down to the Carriage House Inn in Calgary. This venue was equally beautiful if not more than the Calgary Wedding Pavilion. The wedding reception was themed around a rustic look that was well complemented by the wooden decorations.

Bride and groom entered to a jubilant crowd that cheered them on periodically during dinner (thus leading to kisses). During the dinner, there were some tearful speeches followed by the classic shoe game.

A gorgeous three-tiered cake was created by the venue. You can see that it was not only beautiful but delicious.

Bullock’s Wedding in Blue Devil Golf Club, Calgary

Bullock’s Wedding in Blue Devil Golf Club, Calgary

Below are some of the images from Brittney & Mike’s wedding that we shot with JM Photography. These photographs showcase a candid story of the day from the First Look down to the reception itself.

First Look at Bow River

The wedding day began with Mike waiting for his bride with his groomsmen at the bottom of a river valley that sits next to the Bow River in Calgary. While the groom and the groomsmen waited (and drank from their flasks) we took some awesome photographs that showcased this beautiful location!

calgary-wedding-photographer-bullock-wedding-blue-devil-gold-club 1

Below are the photographs of Mike’s expression as he saw Brittany walk in through the breezy alley in her majestic wedding dress. The first moment they shared together evidently proclaimed “this is love”. It was a special moment that I felt honored to share with them.

As you can see from Mike’s expression, he was fairly anxious to see his bride to be 😛

calgary-wedding-photographer-bullock-wedding-blue-devil-gold-club 2

Majestic trees do tend to help create amazing photographs and I am so glad to have had this tree assisting us. It formed both a shelter for the bride and groom and a great background for the photograph themselves. Accompanied with a shimmering river and a wonderful sunny afternoon, I could not have wished for better conditions. 
calgary-wedding-photographer-bullock-wedding-blue-devil-gold-club 4

The Ceremony at the Blue Devil Golf Course, Calgary

After taking a few more photographs with the bridal party, we started heading towards the Blue Devil Gold Club in Calgary to photograph the ceremony itself.

If the location of the formals was fantastic, then the ceremony location was gorgeous. It was situated on a veranda with a grand view of the golf course around it. Mike & Brittany professed their love to a cheering crowd and became one family. They exchanged rings and kissed  at the end of a beautiful and simple ceremony.

Reception with a Pie! (you really wanna read this part!)

Not only is the Blue Devil Golf Course an excellent venue for the ceremony but also a great venue for the reception itself! The reception was held in one of the banquet halls where the Bride & Groom’s family and loved ones gathered. The decor was stylistic and rustic with accents of wood and fabric. You could see how much care and love had been poured into planning the wedding. In particular, there was a tree with Mike and Brittany’s name on the floor that was made out of a light shining through a mold. That, in my opinion, was fantastic.

Instead of choosing to do what everybody does, Brittany and Mike chose to get a pie instead of a cake for their wedding.

Following the cake cutting, the couple danced to a few slow songs followed by the parents joining them on the dancefloor. It was an excellent way to end the evening.

Amara & Zubair’s Wedding In Edmonton, AB

Amara & Zubair’s Wedding | Edmonton, AB

Part of being someone’s wedding day is an amazing opportunity and I had the honor of photographing Zubair and Amara’s Pakistani Wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony that was filled with emotions and joy. The wedding took place at the Mirage Banquet Hall on 27th December 2015. It marked the last wedding that I did that year and what a glorious wedding it was.

Check out Zubair & Amara Engagement Session Right here that I photographed earlier in the fall.

Wedding Slideshow

Our weddings are usually completed with a viewing session with the couple where we share the edited photos in the form of a slideshow. This is the slideshow right here!

https://vimeo.com/158860534

Here are some  other snippets fro the rest of the day:

Bride & Groom Getting Ready

This is where I and my second photographer started working with Zubair and Amara to capture some of the pre-ceremony photos. You can see as Zubair gets ready by ensuring that he looks strong and elegant for his bride while Amara goes through the process of Hair & Makeup to ensure she looks her best (which she absolutely did!). This couple bedazzled the crowd like no other.

edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-zubair-amaraedmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 2

You can also see some shenanigans going on with a console as the groomsmen and the groom partake in a “friendly” match. On the other hand, the bride and her sisters share an emotional moment as they put on the bridal “dupatta”.  edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 3

Formals | Hotel Fairmont McDonal

Following the preparation Zubair and Amara braved the cold and went out for some wintery photos followed by some formal at the Hotel Fairmont McDonal, Edmonton, AB. This gave me the opportunity to photography this extremely photogenic couple in some classic romantic scenarios. You can see in the photo just below to the right that Zubair’s clothing got stuck in Amara’s Dupata and there was this brief shared moment that was timeless. edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 5

I love the candid photo right below the single shot of Amara where we can see her smiling through a staircase railing. edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 4edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 6

Ceremony: Mirage Banquet Hall

This is where we got to the ceremony venue where I got a chance to photograph Zubair as he entered. I love the photograph of him and his mother where they share this beautiful hug. 


edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 7

Cake Cutting | The Leaning Cake

I know this is a gorgeous cake and make it all of you hungry to look at it but this is also a great memory of the wedding! 10 years down the road when Amara & Zubair look at this photo they will remember their cake as the “Leaning Cake Of Pisa”. But regardless it was a beautiful and delicious cake!
edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 8

Ring Exchange | Snowy Lights!

This is where the bride and groom exchanged their rings and I found this wonderful snowy tree in the venue to photograph the rings against! Woho.. Look at the pretty shiny rings there..

edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 9

Fun & Games

This was hands down the second best part of the day (first one coming up soon!). This is where Zubair & Amara were quizzed about their favorite actors, sportsman and man did they know each other well. It was hilarious to watch as the crowd cheered each of them on! You can see the genuine laughter on their faces throughout the photos!
edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 10

Dancing | Bhangra Much?

Now it wouldn’t be your best friend if he didn’t prepare a dance number for your wedding would he? Well this couple got an awesome welcome to their married life by the group of their friends with a wonderful dance performance. edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 11Best Part of the Day | Jota Chupai

Remember I told you about the best part of the day? Well, this was it. This is where the bridesmaid (and brides sister) hid the show of the groom and held it hostage for a ransom. There were a lot of negotiations to get the important piece of clothing back but it wasn’t without its casualties (Zubair’s Pocket being one!). You can also see one of the wedding party members hiding a spray of those strings that were then later used to reduce the bid. As you can see the shoe itself did not survive the colorful attack.
edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 12

This was the end of the beautiful day where Amara left with Zubair for her new home and a new family was born. Hopefully I’ll get to see this couple in the future when they have their first baby 😉edmonton-wedding-photographer-pakistani-wedding-indian-wedding 13

Elissa and Shawn’s engagement session at Fort Edmonton Park

Edmonton Wedding Photographers – Fort Edmonton Park – Elissa and Shawn’s Engagement Session

Because summer is overrated!
Winter Engagement photos can be amazing and you add a bridge to that mix…

Their Story

Having met in Grade School in the beautiful town of Chiluwa, British Columbia, Shawn and Elissa didn’t necessarily had the fairy tale love story. It did not start with Shawn falling for Elissa the moment he saw her. It started off slightly differently. Shawn and Elissa grew up in Chiluwa, they moved separately to Edmonton, Alberta.

Having ventured out of town looking for work, Shawn and Elissa met in Edmonton. They had lived their entire lives next to each other but had not spoken to each other. As fate would have it, Edmonton became the little spark that was needed to create this inferno of love. Elissa and Shawn started talking approximately 9 months ago and as they say, the rest was history. One night, Shawn decided it was time; he picked up a ring, rose petals and a bottle of champagne. Being avid ice skaters, they both went down to the local ice rink where Elissa had no idea that a very “rosy” surprise was waiting for her. Of course, she said “yes” which is why I was able to take these amazing photos of this adorable couple!

https://vimeo.com/153740349

Love stories don’t just come about, we are born along with ours. I know some might disagree but hey we get our opinions! I wouldn’t have said this unless I had seen the way Shawn treated Akira (Elissa’s daughter). Akira adored Shawn and Shawn showed her love befitting that of a worthy dad!

I am so excited to see this family become one in the future and I hope to be the one to capture their wedding day.

A little bit of background about the location that the couple chose for their engagement session: Fort Edmonton Park, Edmonton, AB.

Fort Edmonton Park forms one of the many historic sites that make Edmonton such a treasure in Alberta. It is full of rustic buildings and beautiful scenery. It permeates an aura of history that goes back to 1700s with its steam engine and wooden buildings. Right beside the park is a beautiful bridge that forms an easy crossing for joggers and walkers across the Saskatchewan River.

At one point in the shoot, we were so frozen that even my camera stopped working and I had to warm it up in the car to get it working again haha!

Bridal Session for the Banners in Edmonton, AB

Emma and Kent Banner – Reliving the dream day | Bridal Session Edmonton

Emma and Kent met in England approximately 13 years ago and knew they were destined together. Having traversed a journey together that spans across 9 years and the Atlantic ocean, they live currently in Edmonton, Canada. Emma currently is a photographer herself while Kent works for the Edmonton Polic Force. They are quite a badass couple in actions. They met on the police force in England. After being married for almost 6 years, Emma’s wedding dress didn’t see much use. Therefore, when I suggested that we organize a bridal session shoot, she leapt at that chance. Being the supportive husband, Kent also got on board with the idea of reliving the dream of their wedding. It was a tad colder than it was on their wedding day (Edmonton weather!!).

https://vimeo.com/155225882

Emma and Kent’s New Home in Edmonton, AB

Emma and Kent Banner had decided to purchase an acreage on the outskirts of Edmonton is on top of some beautiful rolling hills! When we were discussing where the shoot should be done, our idea was to have some beautiful sunsets in the photos. We discussed a number of locations, all remote and pretty but slightly restricted. This is when Emma suggested we go to the couple’s new acreage that was still under construction. I thought this was a splendid idea once Emma showed me a photo of the average. I couldn’t have asked for a better location! Here is a quick shot of the location:

edmonton-wedding-photographers-box-cube-photography-bridal-session-147

The Cold Stung but the Bridal Photos were Hot!

No quite literally, I had to use Hot Hands hand warmers in my pocket to keep my fingers from freezing off. I have no idea how Emma braved that cold -20 weather and posed for those photos. On the other hand, Kent and Emma had a lot of hot romance going which I felt kept them fairly warm! It also allowed me to create some amazingly cute photos! Here is a slideshow of some of those photos! As an Edmonton Wedding Photographer, these photos bring me so much pride!

Catherine & Damien’s Engagement Session Edmonton Rundle Park

Catherine & Damien’s Engagement Session Edmonton Rundle Park

A cold but sunny day in Edmonton, Alberta

Catherine & Damien’s Engagement Session In Edmonton, Rundle Park and their slideshow!

https://vimeo.com/153739516

I would be lying if I said that it was not cold on the day that I photographed this couple (but it was warm because of their love :P). We met at the Rundle Park in Edmonton, Alberta to take these photos for them. They were accompanied by Catherine’s son who assisted me with some of the shots. Thanks for that!

Catherine and Damien met me after reading my post on Facebook where I was looking for the couple to photograph for their engagement. After they told me their story, I knew I would be able to see a huge amount of love in their photos which I did as evidenced below. I am very excited to share these photos with the couple as they were nothing short of lovely to work with!

Their Story goes something like this:

Both Damien and Catherine like bikes! (Yay! I like bikes too, sadly I have no experience riding one). They met through a mutual friend and instantly hit it off! Damien currently serves with the army and takes pride in his work (and so does Catherine!).

Bridal Photos for KB Emporia, Terwillegar Park, Edmonton

Concept shoot for KB Emporia by Shank Couture at Terwillegar Park, Edmonton | Bridal Photos

I had a chance to work with the amazing model Anum Shah and collaborate with Makeup and Hair by Riti for these stylized bridal photos. The dresses in the photos were provided by KB Emporia.

Location: Terwilliger Dog Park, Edmonton AB.

This was stylized shoot where Anum Shah showcased some of the east-Indian/subcontinental bridal clothing from KB Emporia. Amazing hair and makeup by Riti added to the amazing concept. Even though it was fairly cold, our model braved the weather and showcased the dresses amazing well. As collaborations go, this was an awesome one. Anum’s mother, Anjum Shah, came along and assisted me with the shoot which made this shoot an even better one!

Due to my fondness of OCF (off camera flash) we used some special lighting techniques to light up the environment in a specific manner to showcase the beauty of the clothing. We also used some smoke grenades to show the special effect in some of the photos below. As part of an effort to develop relationships with local vendors, I try to establish these collaborations. Not only do they allow us to produce some  great image but also find it if we are potential fits for each others clients.

Box Cube Photography Strives to provide Edmonton Brides with the best in wedding photography services. Our commitment to your big day goes beyond just the wedding itself, it extends into the wedding planning stage as well. Therefore, these collaborations provide us with significant background info regarding the vendors we recommend to you.

A gallery of all the images will be available later and you can check here to see if you are looking for particular images.

Wedding Reception Slideshow

None of our weddings would be complete if we did not do a same day wedding slideshow for our clients. This slideshow is made from the images taken during the ceremony and formals and presented on the day of the Wedding to the couple during the reception. It allows the beautiful couple, family and friends to enjoy some of the best photographs in a slideshow form which they can share with their loved ones.

 

Here are some images from the day:
