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:

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.

The Wedding Slideshow

Their Story!

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

Desi Wedding – A Celebration of Colors & Love!

Yusra and Shaheer met when their pursuit of kindness allowed their paths to cross. Then they started seeing each other and the first date started with cookies. And when they finally got married, it was a celebration of love and colors!

Their wedding was a multi-day affair. It started off with the Nikah at the Country Side Golf Club in Sherwood Park. The Nikah is the Islamic marriage where Yusra and Shaheer agreed to start their lives together as a couple with blessing of their families and loved ones. Following the ceremony, we went out to the Golf Club where we took some photo of Yusra and Shaheer. We did get bugged by lots of mosquitos but it was totally worth it! (You see what I did there??!)

Here is a selfie of us after we were done lol!

Walima at Mirage Banquet Hall

There was a second day of celebrations called Walima. It is very much like a reception! Before we got to that part though, we did take some more photos of the happy couple at George F. Hustler Memorial Plaza in Edmonton.

I am so excited to share these images with the couple and their friends and family!!

Fall & Love!

My lover asks me:
“What is the difference between me and the sky?”
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky –
Unknown

As I stood in line at the Purolator office, I wondered how the day was going for the couple behind me. A year later, I was photographing the couple’s wedding.

The Wedding Slideshow

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

THEIR CEREMONY AT THE ST. JOSAPHAT’S UKRANIAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL

Kyle & Rachael’s wedding was a beautiful Catholic ceremony performed by Father Peter Babej. It was a solemn affair that included several readings chosen by the couple and prayers said to bless the couple’s wedding. It was held at magnificent St. Josaphat’s Ukranian Catholic Cathedral. The location with its rich history and equally astounding architecture just added to the grace of the Catholic ceremony.

A Little Bit about the Church:
It is a beautiful architectural marvel of the Byzantine Rite. It is also the seat of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton since 1948. It was designed by Reverend Philip Ruh in 1938 and has been an iconic piece of the Edmonton Heritage since.

FAMILY PHOTOS AT THE ST. JOSAPHAT’S UKRANIAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL

Following the ceremony and prayers, I took photos of the Dykstra & Wirachowsky family. The photos included a beautiful couple surrounded by their friends and family on the steps of the Cathedral. I also took some adorable photos of Rachael as she shared some emotional moments with her niece (the flower girl).

CREATIVE FORMALS AT HENRIETTA MUIR EDWARDS PARK

We traveled to the nearby Henrietta Muir Edwards park for the couple’s formals. They were super brave as it was a cold Autumn afternoon. I took photos of the couple as we overlooked the Edmonton Skyline from the nearby bridge. After their formals, the couple joined their family for their reception and we went to work some magic on their photos.

The Wedding Slideshow

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

Gordon Getting Ready

Our day began at Gordon’s house, amongst friends and with some truly delicious coffee (much called for at 6 am in the morning!). Gordon was surrounded by groomsmen and made use of his much cherished coffee maker for a wake up call. The young men were a striking sight in their blue coats ready to support their friend on his special day. The color combo of classic blue and grey added a nice contrast to the pictures and a coffee toast ended the dress up session.

Rhonda Getting Ready

Rhonda was to be found at her parent’s place preparing for the big day and she chose the traditional red dress for the first half of the day. She looked stunning!
The groom had to pay his dues to see the lovely bride. According to chinese tradition, the groom must earn the first sight. At the door, the men found their way blocked by determined bridesmaids refusing to “surrender” the bride.While they negotiated they enjoyed some lemonade, chicken and after sufficient hong bao, the groom was let in.

Rhonda was escorted by her dad and she along with Gordon then took part in the tea ceremony. Both served tea to the bride’s parents as an expression of respect. They did the same at the groom’s house where Gordon’s dad impressed with his culinary skills and the family enjoyed a lovely meal together before the ceremony.

THEIR CEREMONY AT THE ALBERTA ART GALLERY , EDMONTON

For a love like art, what better place to exhibit than the gallery?
The ceremony took place in The Theatre at the Alberta Art Gallery. Simple and elegant, it made for the perfect setting to enjoy traditional games and cherished moments with loved ones. The wedding involved a really fun game with shoes and a competition between the bride and groom. Both had to answer questions about each other and the crowd had a really good time!
It was a beautiful ceremony and the love was everywhere. We were just glad we caught some on camera!

CREATIVE FORMALS AT ALBERTA ART GALLERY

The location is as unique as the couple themselves. With its long windows and outstanding architecture, we were able to get some truly special photos. We also took some gorgeous shots on the roof of the gallery, with perfect lightning and the right weather, they turned out stunning! Talk about putting the love on top!

THE RECEPTION AT BEIJING BEIJING RESTAURANT

The reception was held in a cute, family style restaurant. It was intimate, simple and just perfect. There the couple wowed everyone with the classic ‘I Do’ by 98 degrees in a sweet first dance. The father daughter dance left everyone in tears (the good kind!). A small cake cutting ceremony followed, adding just the right sweetness to the day and a final dance wrapped up the ceremony perfectly.

It was amazing to work with Rhonda and Gordon 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.

The Furgesons’ Engagement Session at Wabamun Lake

Amour & Babushka Dolls

“Voilà pourtant la seule bonne chose de la vie : l’amour ! Tenir dans ses bras une femme aimée ! Là est la limite du bonheur humain.”

Translation: “ Yes, this is the only good thing in life: love! To hold a woman you love in your arms! That is the ultimate in human happiness.

Guy de Maupassant — Bel Ami

The Engagement and How They Met

Ashley and Cody’s love story is a worldly one; it starts with a date back in 2013 in Edmonton’s coziest café: Block 1912. It thrives while Cody’s job takes him back and forth between Canada and Chile. The couple go on a ski trip where Cody woos Ashley and shows her his sweet skills that he acquired having been an ex ski racer. They travel Europe together where this adorable love journey makes a gleeful stop at Paris in March 2017, where Russian babushka dolls team with the Parisian Eiffel tower to make a great proposal.

In the city of love and lights, and on top of its eternal emblem, Cody gets down on one knee and offers his beloved a set of Babushka dolls. Ashley opens them one from within the other, where he had put love notes…layers of Babushka and layers of love if you will! Inside the last doll, there was a gorgeous double halo round cut diamond ring. Ashley, of course, says yes to this most romantic and well thought out proposal.

The Engagement Session at the Furgusons lake house by lake Wabanum

The engagement photos were taken at the couple’s lake house by Wabanum lake where romance was truly in the air. We captured them while they went for a canoe ride on the lake’s calm and sublime surface. This was quite reminiscent of the famous “boat scene” from the movie The Notebook, the epitome of romance and romantic movies. It was a love fragrant moment that we got to immortalize. However, the romance was not the only sentiment in the air, cuteness and loyalty were too. The couple’s adorable pup Thor was an integral part in the photoshoot as he is in their lives. We got to photograph him dipping his paws in the lake and playing with his humans :).

We Also took advantage of the sunset to snap some intimate pictures of Ashley and Cody snuggled up by the dancing flame roasting marshmallows and drinking their favorite beer. The glow of the setting sun and the docile fire mimicked the glow of love in the couple’s eyes. The ambiance was complemented by the customized Heineken beer bottles bearing Ashley and Cody’s names that they have had made for the occasion.

Some of our favorite photos were also shot while trotting on the train tracks, showing a long cheerful journey of love and dedication traveled, and an even longer happier continuation ahead of the Fergusons. Like the tracks of the train, so does the path of our celebrated lovers, find its way steady and strong amongst nature’s greenery. We were in luck to wrap up our photography session with the train chugging through, red and bold in the color of love and passion.

The Di Lullo’s Engagement Session at Whitemud Ravine Edmonton

Cupid’s Arrow

Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams
Driving back shadows over low’ring hills.
Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love,
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. ” — William Shakespeare

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

Elianna and Giovanni’s love story beings about two and a half years ago when Cupid shot them with his electronic bow and arrow. OKCupid was the app that brought these two lovebirds together. Later on in January 2017, on a memorable Friday, Giovanni proposed in a romantic and intimate way by adorning the house with twinkling candles and surprising Elianna. He gave her a beautiful infinity braided diamond ring to symbolize his own infinite commitment and everlasting love to her. The Di Lullos are a picture perfect romantic couple that love to take walks together or go ice skating. They also have an adorable Havanese dog named Leo to witness their love unfurl daily.

The Engagement Session at Edmonton’s Whitemud ravine park

The lovely couple’s engagement photography session took place by the river in the ravine of Whitemud park, one of Edmonton’s most scenic locations, especially in the springtime. There is truly no better time to capture love at its finest than during spring. Mother nature looked like she has put on her best and most regal outfit just to celebrate the betrothal of two of her children. And truly once more, there is no better place to celebrate Giovanni’s promise of eternal love to his beloved Elianna than outdoors amidst Rainbow Valley’s joyful foliage and peaceful greenery.

We took a walk on a great sunny day, and took some gorgeous pictures of the bride and groom to be. The huddling tree canopies mimicked the couples own loving hugs, while the sneaking sun rays heralded their bright future of married life. Our lens magically captured Elianna and Giovanni’s blossoming love on the trails of Rainbow Valley park; trails that reminded us much of the trails and journeys of life that willed that these two lovely people meet and fall in love. One of our favorite stills of them is a shot on one of the park’s bridges where a hugging Giovanni and Elianna look like they are about to cross over to the next phase of their life that we wish is full of wedded bliss and happiness.

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Elianna and Giovanni’s engagement photos and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.

The Walker’s Engagement Session at Edmonton’s Whyte Avenue

Love Me Under The Umbrella

ring shot rose beauty and the beast

“And when the moment is right you confess your love. ” – Lumière To Beast

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

When the Moment was right, the Beast and prince charming of this story: Dustin, confessed his love, and commitment to his Beauty: Robyn with a beautiful halo ring in October 2016. Dustin had been joking about proposing, and he finally did it. This was quite the surprise to the bride to be, and a great way to start the next chapter in the couple’s fairy tale. This modern time Fairytale starts with them meeting online four years ago and continues today with us being able to snap shots of the current page in their book: The Engagement photos on Whyte Avenue.

The Engagement Session on Whyte Avenue Edmonton

The Engagement session was Beauty and the Beast themed, much like the wedding is going to be when it takes place at The Country Lodge. The couple chose Whyte Avenue so we were able to take great photos of Robyn and Dustin that reflect both their love of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in its classic romance and the modernity of this Edmontonian couple’s love. We also snapped some great photos at The Edmonton Radio Railway Society, famed for its color popping graffiti art.

In a cute gesture, Dustin brought a lone red rose much like the emblematic rose of the Beast. So we ran with the theme and took really neat shots of yet another emblem of Walker’s love: the halo engagement ring within the rose’s petals. Moreover, fate would have it so as the romance studded afternoon would get “soaked” in more romance when it started raining cats and dogs.

After taking fantastic photos of the lovebirds in different poses under the rain and under the umbrella..ella..ella..eh..eh..eh like Rihanna would say, we finally escaped the showers, into a cozy pub. Robyn and Dustin were very gracious and bought the drinks. And we concluded a great photography session by drinking and cheering to the bride and groom’s coming bright days of wedding happiness.

It was amazing to work with Robyn and Dustin on their wedding day and we can’t be more excited to share their final images with them in the coming weeks! You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!
