The Garth’s Wedding at The Country Lodge, Edmonton
“Darling, you are all I ever wanted Love to be” -Anonymous
The Wedding Slideshow
Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with Veronica & Daniel’s wedding. It was created from a selection of photos that tell the story of the couple’s wedding day.
CREATIVE FORMALS AT THE TAVERN & LOUISE MCKINNEY RIVERFRONT PARK
Our day began at the Tavern, a cool rustic location the couple chose. Daniel stood waiting for bride with his back turned. Veronica walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Called the first look, this little tradition was so adorable.
We also took some great shots at another beautiful location, the Louise Mckinney Riverfront Park. Even by the River Valley, the couple’s love brought out all the warmth in the pictures!
THEIR CEREMONY AT THE THE COUNTRY LODGE
For a couple this cool, what is more, suitable than a cabin with gorgeous grounds?
The ceremony took place in The Country Lodge. Charming and quaint, it was the perfect little venue for a cute wedding. Veronica and Daniel did things unconventionally. Daniel stood waiting for bride at the altar with his back turned. Veronica walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Called the first look, this little tradition was so adorable. The whole ceremony was full of these sweet moments between the two and we couldn’t get enough of it!
THE RECEPTION AT THE COUNTRY LODGE
After the ceremony, we were able to get some pictures of the adorable couple and their family. The first dance was a showstopper! The guest swooned and all lights were on the couple. We were able to get some really fun shots of people dancing, the meaningful looks between the couple and all the love in the room!
It was amazing to work with Daniel & Veronica 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.

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!
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.
It was amazing to work with BRIDE & GROOM 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 at our blog!

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 – 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?
Here are some behind the scenes shots of our shoot together:

Call me narcissistic but sometimes I do like talking just a little about myself. Today happens to be one of those days.
Most photographers never get a lot of face time in front of the camera. They are usually confined to the space behind the lens. Creating art pieces and capturing memories for their beloved clients. It appears this is not the case for me.
I was cruising through some of the mountainous catalogs of wedding photos from 2015 (above 30,000 photos holy moly!). I found some veryyy intersting photos of myself. They were mostly photos of my face in concentration as I took the shot or of me posing in weird ways to get the correct angle. I thought why not share these treasure troves with the rest of the world?
Have you ever wondered what you look like taking a photo with a DSLR? Well probably something like this:
This photo was taken by Jeremy Martel at the Fairmont MacDonal Hotel, Edmonton, Alberta during Zubair & Amara’s Wedding.
At other times when you are bending in weird poses to get the shot:
This shot was also taken by my second photographer Jeremy Martel as I leaned on the step of the Legislature Building in Edmonton, Alberta to get “the shot”.
Here are a couple of other cool ones!
This is one of my absolute favorites:
This was an emotional moment when I shared Mark & Shamalla’s wedding reception slideshow with them. Following the slideshow, Shamalla started crying (happy tears!!) and hugged me (love it when I get hugs from my clients!). Thanks for the shot Jeremy!
So this is what I am up to on most of my Saturdays..
What about you? How do you look when photographing something? If you want we can totally go for coffee and a photo walk where I take photos of you while you take photos! I bet they would look awesome!
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.

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

I had a chance to meet Amara and Zubair earlier during the year to talk about their Pakistani wedding. Following the first meeting, I knew this would be an awesome wedding to photograph and these photos are proof! PS below is the link to their engagement session if you are wondering!
