Zac & Mary’s Wedding at Edmonton’s Hotel Fairmont Macdonald // Edmonton Wedding Photographers

Winter Wedding at Hotel Fairmont Macdonald

A castle, winter, and the perfect dress; this is what makes a fairytale wedding. Of course, an amazingly beautiful couple that glows with love is a cherry on top! I had the chance to photograph Zac & Mary’s winter wedding last winter at the Hotel Fairmont Macdonald.

Zac & Mary Getting Ready

The Guys Getting Ready at Hotel Fairmont Macdonald

Early during the day, we joined the couple at the Fairmont Hotel where they were staying for the duration of the wedding. Zac was in a hotel room with his best man Daryl who was helping him get ready. We took some photos of the guys goofing around and having fun to calm the nerves. We took some individual portraits, some details shots of the cufflinks and photos of Zac & his best man posing.

The Girls Getting Ready at Hotel Fairmont Macdonald

After photographing the guys, we went to the bride’s room. Mary was getting ready with her mother, her bridesmaids, and her friends. Given the gorgeous location of the hotel room, we were able to get some amazing afternoon light. The bride also opened a gift from the groom which a gorgeous Swarovski bracelet. In a light-hearted moment, the mother of the bride gave her a kiss on the cheek and it led to giggles and laughter all around.

Their Ceremony at Wedgewood Room, Hotel Fairmont Macdonald

The ceremony took place in the Wedgewood room. This room is named after the Wedgewood design of china and is intricately detailed and look absolutely stunning. It has a beautiful chandelier in the middle and large windows letting in natural light all around the room.

The ceremony was commissioned by Julia Thatchk and she did such a splendid job of that! Some of the bride and groom’s friends and family members also said some beautiful words to mark the beginning of their lives together!

The Family Photos at Hotel Fairmont Macdonald

Following the ceremony, we gave the couple some time to mingle with their friends and family while we photographed some candid moments. We photographed the bride and groom with their family members in the hotel’s western hallway.

The Creative Formals in Muttart Conservatory

Once we completed the family photos we went out to the Muttart Conservatory. It is one of our favorite spots to photograph couples at in Edmonton. It is the perfect combination of urban and nature. We went inside the conservatory where we photographed the couple in several of the feature pyramids. Following that, we went outside into the cold and took some photos of the scenic view of downtown and snow near the conservatory.

Zac & Mary’s Reception in the Wedge Wood Room, Hotel Fairmont Macdonald

The Dinner provided by the talented culinary staff of Hotel Fairmont

The reception was held in the Wedgewood room again. The excellent staff at the Fairmont were able to flip the room into a completely different look for the reception. It was decorated with colors of gold and white which looked beautiful. We prepared the reception slideshow for the couple.

The entrance of the bride and groom was surrounded with Eritrean Tradition where the elder men of the family held swords while the elder ladies held flowers as they entered the hall with the bride and groom. It was something very different from what we have photographed so far and we are so honored that we could witness it. Following the entrance, the food was served which was a delicious buffet prepared by the excellent chefs at the Hotel Fairmont.

Everyone Gets a Cake!

Zac and Mary did something a little different for their wedding where instead of having one giant cake, they placed one small cake on each table! The cake itself was a gorgeous combination of white chocolate, cream, and soft mushy core. The bride and groom eventually cut the cake and we photographed it. These photographs will become part of their wedding memories and will remind them of the beautiful day they spent with their family and friends.

Dancing the night away!

Finally, the couple did their first dance together. They looked amazing together and showed some serious dance skills! Following the first dance, everyone joined the couple on the dance floor where they ended up dancing the night away!

Near the end of the reception, Zac and Mary changed into traditional Eritrean clothing and joined the rest of their family on the dance floor.

Online Gallery

An online gallery of all their images is available for the next 30 days. From the online gallery, you are able to favorite images, order prints and share the gallery with your family and friends. The gallery can be accessed via the link below and you can contact Zac & Mary directly for their secure password.

Warawa Engagement Session at Peace Hills Park // Wetaskiwin Photographer

Warawa Engagement Session at Peace Hills Park // Engagement Photos

Their Story!

Samantha & Wyatt met on a running track! Being medical professionals and runners, they had a lot in common from the very beginning. Samantha and Wyatt also shared a running coach! Their running coach saw that they would make a great couple and got them in touch with each other. The rest as they say is history! I photographed the couple’s engagement session at Peace Hills Park, Wetaskiwin as this was where they had met the first time!

Samantha is a super-planner who likes planning things out in advance whereas Wyatt enjoys spontaneous happenings. These two love birds were travelling to France for a trip. Samantha anticipated that the proposal was going to happen in Paris since her mother had tipped her off(romantic right!!). Well it didn’t, instead Wyatt had a different idea. He planned the proposal so it would be a complete secret and come as a surprise. They were both visiting a castle and Wyatt went down on one knee and proposed. After the initial surprise, there was a resounding yes from her followed by lots of tears and cheers from other tourists in the castle!

Peace Hills Park, Wetaskiwin, Alberta

The couple chose this location due to its emotional significance to them! The couple had originally met in the park the first time and had taken many a run together in this park as well. This meant that they were able to show me some of the cooler hidden spots within the park. This made for some excellent shots from their engagement session!

This park is located near the Montgomery Glen Golf Course in Wetaskiwin. Its a favorite for locals due to its numerous trails and beautiful mountain rest spots! We did the engagement session late in September which meant we were there for the perfect fall colors! The yellows and greens combined with the perfect autumn sunlight made for a gorgeous background for photos!

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

A Pinup Wedding at Hastings Lake Gardens

Their Story:

Cute Family, Check, Amazing Couple, Check, Best Wedding Venue in the City, Check, Great Weather, Check. That is what I am talking about when I say this wedding was perfect in every way. Even the cake was perfect down to every fruity flavor! Joe & Benjamin met via Instagram and as they say, the rest is history!

The Family Getting Ready!

The day started off with the bride and groom getting ready at Benjamin’s house in Windsor Estates. The house was a magnificent multi story house that was built by hand by the groom’s parents over a period of 20 years. This put some significant emotional impact on the beautiful location! The same house was also used for family photos and the wedding reception as well.

As Jo was getting ready, she gave her maid of honor and her mother in law a small gift that was met with tears and hugs!They also did a small first look ceremony where Jo & Benjamin saw each other for the first time. It was extremely cute!

Beautiful & Short Ceremony at the Hastings Lake Gardens

The ceremony was held at the Beautiful Hastings Lake gardens. The ceremony was the shortest I have every photographed. It was quick and to the point: celebrate the love of these two lover birds and their new life together.

The venue is a beautiful rustic venue that had a really cool church and a tractor in one area of the property. We got a chance to photograph the amazing couple at these cool locations!

Creative Formals at Hastings Lake Gardens

Following the ceremony, we stole the bride and groom from the rest of their guests to photograph them in the beautiful country side of the Hastings Lake Gardens. There was some old farm equipment that we also used to create some amazing portraits for the couple!

The Balsa Reception at Windsor Estates

Event Setup by Special Event Rentals

Following the creative formal we followed the couple back to the groom’s parent’s house where the reception was to be held. The reception was held outdoors in a pavilion that was setup by Special Event Rentals! They did an amazing job of the decor and it fit the couple’s personality perfectly!

Dhrupad + Unnati // Edmonton Engagement Session

Dhrupad + Unnati // Edmonton Engagement Session

THEIR STORY!

Have you seen high school sweethearts? Well here is an adorable couple for your afternoon craving for romance <3. This couple (Unnati & Dhrupad) met in high school via a mutual friend and have been dating each for the last 8 years.

After Dhrupad and Unnati ended up on a cruise together to Mexico last year, they decided it was time to tie the knot. Given that they both love food and life in general, the didn’t need much else in common. Also, one of them is an engineer and the other a nurse, Ill let you guess who is who.

I met this couple after they came across a photo I took for Tooba & Shahmeran’s Wedding. After our first meeting at a coffee shop, I knew I wanted to tell this couple’s story and I am glad I got the chance!

As Dhrupad hadn’t technically proposed to Unnati, I helped him setup the proposal by distracting Unnati during the photo shoot and letting Dhrupad sneak in behind her and get on his knee. It was adorable to see this happening!

We start the session at Muttart Conservatory and then as it got progressively colder, we move to El Cortez. El Cortez (Mexican Restaurant) happens to one of my favorite places for both food and photography so we were able to create some amazing artwork there!

Bitten by the travel bug, my dream now is to photograph love on every corner of the earth! If you are an adventurous soul who yearns to create some amazing photographs, contact me and we will have some cool adventures together! PS We will also have amazing coffee and food to plan out the adventure first!

Edmonton Bridal Stylist / Wedding Day Fashion Stylist – Featured Vendor – Tyrel Abbott Weddings

Edmonton Bridal Stylist – Featured Vendor – Tyrel Abbott Weddings

As part of our commitment to our clients and their wedding day, we often partner with other vendors to see if they would be a good fit for our clients. Those partnerships usually lead to great results and we are then able to refer those vendors to our clients, as we trust them. One such partnership was that with Tyrel Abbott who is a bridal stylist.

What is a bridal stylist or wedding day fashion stylist?

Wedding days are huge moments in the couple’s life and a bridal stylist allows them to plan those moments according to their sense of fashion and style. It includes helping you decide on the dress, jewelry and even the shoes you will wear on the wedding day. A bridal stylist will give you advice on a hairstyle that will work well for your look as well as the kind of makeup that would look amazing.

I had the pleasure of working with Tyrel Abbott who was a current fashion director for “Say Yes to the Dress Canada”. He is a Bridal stylist who has styled many brides head-to- toe for their wedding day.

Here is the interview with Tyrell Abbott:

How did you get started?

My career as a Bridal Stylist began when I was helping a friend who was shopping for a wedding dress. Unintentionally, I took over her appointment and the owner of the store noticed, she later reached out to me and offered me a job.

Tell me about your favorite wedding last season.

I worked with a bride last year that had overcome some big personal issues. Because of this she was having difficulties envisioning her body in a dress. She had heard about me from a friend of hers who I had dressed for her wedding. I loved that I could help her see that she was beautiful and worthy of having the best day. We shopped at several stores and through a few tears found her perfect dress. I love helping brides find that!

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

Weddings take time to plan. If you are seeking my services as a Bridal Stylist purely for shopping, I’d recommend booking two months ahead of when you plan to order your dress which is typically six to nine months before your wedding date. If you are looking for full-service freelance Wedding Planning, I’d recommend booking shortly after your engagement, when you are ready to start sorting out the specifics. Deposits are made within 2 weeks of booking me and the balance is due 10 days prior to the event or at the completion of finding your dress.

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

It depends on what they need from me. I do everything from planning and coordinating, dressing the couple, finding vendors and hair services if required.

For full-service Wedding Planning, I offer unlimited phone and email consultations and a minimum of 10 hrs in person. If a bride has hired me just to find her a dress, I will do what it takes to find her the dress.

I will always tailor the package to the specific needs of the couple; I want everything about their wedding day to be better than what they imagined.

How do you help couples customize their wedding?

Once I understand their vision, I become the curator of their wedding day. I will take all of the ideas a couple might have and edit them into an event like no other. Most people have never planned a wedding and don’t know where to start, whereas, I have experience planning many, an eye for detail and long list of contacts that specialize in creating anything a bride or groom might wish for.

What is one interesting fact about your services?

One interesting fact about my services is that I styled brides on a national scale. As a Fashion Director on season two of W Network’s Say Yes to the Dress Canada, you can pull up past episodes and see me at work. So I have a great knowledge of trends and have worked with every type of bride.

What do you have planned for the future?

I have many weddings in my future! I would love to style brides internationally but we will have to wait and see.

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

As a hairstylist I can accommodate almost any number. I have a second stylist that works with me and we work very well together.

What makes your services unique?

There are not a lot of people that have the hands-on experience that I do in so many aspects of a wedding. I understand the hairstyles, fashion, design and the logistics that need to all come together for a flawless event.

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

I have been in the hair industry for over 15 years and weddings for 4 years.

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

Bond’s Indian Wedding at Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton

Adam & Ekta’s Indian Wedding at Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton | Edmonton Indian Wedding Photographers

https://vimeo.com/181508434

A 3 day Indian / western fusion wedding!

You look at this couple’s smile and the only thought that pops into your head is: “You are the first and the last thing on my mind each and every day”. That is what I saw throughout the 3 day wedding of Adam & Ekta. Their beautiful wedding was a combination of a Hindu Traditional Ceremony and Western wedding. The traditional Hindu ceremony was a combination of beautiful traditions with deep meaning associated with each tradition. The western wedding on the other hand was a simple yet beautiful ceremony that was held with the couple’s friend and family witnessing their union into one family.

Bond’s Same Day Slideshow

The Reception slideshow above is included in everyone one of our wedding collections and is very well loved by both family and friends. It is composed of a selection of photos from the time the bride and groom are getting ready to the ceremony, family formals and creative formals. It is presented in a classic black and white video format that we show during the reception on a projector and a screen we bring along with us. We also upload the same slideshow the very next day to our blog for everyone to enjoy while we edit and prepare the wedding day images.

Adam & Ekta’s Online Gallery – Sign Up

Adam & Ekta’s photos will take approximately 6-8 weeks to edit and once they have booked their viewing session and viewed their photos, the photos will be released to the following gallery for a limited time. Sign up today and we will notify you the moment the photos are released. You will be able to view and start your favorite photographs as well as order prints for your home!

Their story <3 – Engagement Session

I photographed Adam & Ekta at the Muttart Conservatory for their engagement session a few weeks ago. You can read the story of this cute couple and see their engagement photo right here: Bond’s Engagement Session.

Day 1 – Mehndi

This is the first day we photographed the bride. The tradition is called Mehndi (Henna). During this tradition the bride is tattooed with beautiful designs on her hand and her feet with Henna ink. The other female members of the family also get some designs made on this day. It is often followed with food, music and celebrations.

Day 2 – Hindu Ceremony at the Hindu Society of Alberta, Edmonton

Bride Getting Ready

We photographed Ekta getting ready as she wore her beautiful Red Wedding dress and was then took her father’s blessings in the traditional hindu manner (ashirwad). Following that, Ekta’s mom fed her some sweet youghurt as part of another tradition when starting something new.

Traditional Hindu Ceremony at the Hindu Society of Alberta

The Hindu Traditional Wedding ceremony was beautiful to photograph and had a lot of emotions tied to it. There was a focus on family values, respect and the idea of living together happily. It was a privilege to photograph such an intimate and beautiful moment in Ekta & Adam’s life!

Joota Chupai

One of the oldest traditions for Indian weddings is that of Jutta Chupai (Hiding the shoe). The bridesmaid hid the groom’s shoe who then had to pay a hefty amount to get it back from them. It was a joyous occasion and Adam did not put up much of struggle before the terms of the agreement were settled. Following the Jutta chupai, Mira (Ekta’s sister) and Adam had a moment of sibling love and it was adorable to photograph!

The Farewell (Vidayi)

This was by far one of the most emotional things I have photographed. After receiving blessings from all of the members of the Bride’s family, Ekta had to say good bye to her old house and family as she joined Adam in a new life. It was full of tears of joy and sadness. Joy at the start of a beautiful adventure and sadness for the departure from her family.

Day 3 – Western Wedding at the Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, AB

Groom and the Groomsmen Getting Ready

You know handsome groomsmen? Well I know some and they are right here in these photos. It was a very cool edition when Adam’s brother Dallas (the bestman) had a set of Japenese swords… Like wow…

Bride Getting Ready

These are some of the photographs from the bride getting ready. She looked absolutely stunning in that white dress! In the meantime a very beautiful maid of honor helped her get ready!

Ceremony at the Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, AB

The Western Wedding ceremony was held at the Royal Glenora Club. It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony. It had a rock ceremony as well where all the guests and loved ones wished happiness upon the lovely couple.

Creative Formal Portraits at The Legislature Building, Edmonton AB

Following the ceremony, we went out to the legislature grounds for some amazing portraits of this lovely couple!

I pride myself in my ability to create artwork for the couples I photograph and this couple made it very easy! They looked absolutely beautiful together at their wedding at Royal Glenora Club edmonton.

We were so fortunate to be a part Adam & Ekta’s wedding. It was an absolute honor to be a part of their day!

Nicolle & Stephen | Their Story <3

Nicolle & Stephen are cute. No, that is an understatement. They are a very cute couple. They are extremely photogenic and have the best candid expressions even with a huge camera staring at them. I had the privilege of photographing this couple’s engagement session! I will also be photographing their wedding in September and I am so excited about that! Here are some photos from their engagement session in our signature engagement slideshow:

https://vimeo.com/177160904

Location: Victoria Park

Our choice of location was based on the couple’s preference for nature. Summer in Edmonton is an amazing time for photos and almost any location can serve well! Victoria park was a great location for photos due to the green trees, fences and beautiful pathway. All of these elements show up in our photos for the couple below.

It was a very warm and beautiful day. It was sunny with the perfect amount of wind and obscene number of mosquitoes.

Here are some of the photos of the couple during the rest of the engagement session:

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!

Here is a slideshow with a view of the rest of the images:

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.

It was a great and beautiful day and I was honoured to spend it with this wonderful couple. Want to share the Box Cube Photography experience? Contact Me today to book your free consultation.
