The Rahman’s Engagement Session at Edmonton’s Promenade

The Rahman’s Engagement Session at Edmonton’s Promenade

Lucky I’m in love with my best friend!

“You are the love that came without warning, you had my heart before I could say no” – Unknown

The Engagement Slideshow

Above is the Engagement Slideshow that I created for the Yusra & Shaheer from their engagement photos.

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

This is one of our favourite posts because their meet-cute story is so cute! And there are cookies?!
Good intentions are rewarded well! In Shaheer and Yusra’s case, it was each other. They found each other when volunteering at an event. Shaheer’s shift was ending and Yusra’s shift was starting, they spoke for a while. As life would have it, they ran into each other again at the Heritage festival. Amongst all those colors and on a bright day, Shaheer finally asked Yusra out.
For their first date, each picked 3 spots and decided on The Common. Shaheer surprised Yusra with homemade cookies (this is our favourite part) so we aren’t shocked that she was smitten. After their date, they went on to walk to the Victoria Promenade and spent the rest of their evening in the beautiful boulevard overlooking the city skyline.
At the end of the day, it is all about finding someone to enjoy life with and these two do! They both love La la Land, they go ceramic painting together and are super nerdy!
It’s no wonder Shaheer asked Yusra to marry him. He promised her forever with a classic round cut diamond ring. Minimalistic and special, the ring gave us all those ‘old love’ vibes.

The Engagement Session at The Promenade

It only made sense for us to revisit where it all began. We went back to The Promenade and there were cookies again. Shaheer and Yusra gave us all the right goals with their cute hugs and moments together. At some points, I felt like they didn’t even see me. The sunset gave the pictures a beautiful background and the light was perfect. We got shots that looked movie-like and shots that were simply them. It is truly magical when you find your best friend and I am so happy I got to do it for these two. Yusra has been a long time friend and I was super excited for the shoot!

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

Lizee Engagement Session at George F Hustler Memorial

The Cherry Blossoms are Here!

A Love So Beautiful

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
-Kobayashi Issa, Poems

The Engagement Slideshow

Above is the Engagement Slideshow that I created for the Stephanie & Andrew from their engagement photos.

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

There is something to be said for young love. That is why we write about it, sing about it, and cry over movies about it. Stephanie and Andrew met in 10th grade by adjacent lockers. Andrew took his girl to high school grad by asking her out with a scavenger hunt! How adventurous and fun (one more thing about that young love eh). She said yes to the dance and years later, Andrew asked Stephanie’s parents for their blessing. Stephanie had no clue when Andrew picked her up from work. He took her to Whitemud Park and played “Say Something” by A Great Big World. Listening to the story made our heart skip a beat. This was the song they danced to at their High School grad. While the song played, Andrew proposed to Stephanie on a bridge. Stephanie cried, Andrew cried and so did I.
They can eat a ton of Cake of a Thousand Layers and Halo Halo shaved ice.
They both love Brooklyn 99.
They are basically goals and I ship them hard.

The Engagement Session at the George F. Hustler Memorial Plaza

Did you know that there are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossoms? Just like love, there are so many kinds, yet all precious and beautiful. Everybody needs to see them up close at least once in their lifetime. Stephanie and Andrew are the lucky ones to have found love just as beautiful as the pretty blooms.
The engagement session took place at George F. Hustler Memorial Plaza near Muttart Conservatory. It was cherry blossom season and the grounds were a gorgeous canopy of pinks and greens. The sun shone bright and so did these two!
Cherry blossoms last only a week so there was a big crowd (I’d go again, it was picturesque!), we got some beautiful photos and these two gave us all the goals to aspire to!

Online Gallery

An online gallery of all their images is available for the next 90 days. From the online gallery you are able to favourite 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 the couple directly for their secure password.

“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.

Forever You

fall engagement session at legislature building, edmonton

“I knew right away that you
Were it for me
There were no reservations
Or second thoughts.
I saw you and in an instant
Knew in my bones,
My soul had known your
Soul lifetimes ago.”

-Beau Taplin

 

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

There is something so exquisite about being a photographer. You get to capture true emotion, true stories and see for yourself just how beautiful love can be. One look at these two and you’ll know they are the better halves of each other (seriously, the clothes match is adorable!).
David and Elsen met at church and knew they were it for one another. One year later, they were with us at the Alberta Legislature Building, telling their story the way they want to.
Elsen’s ring was a sparkling floral halo with a beautiful pear shaped stone in the center. It was special just like their story and positively regal!

The Engagement Session at the Alberta Legislature Building

We were lucky to have a gorgeous fall day. With beautiful fall colors in the background and the perfectly coordinated outfits, the pictures turned out stunning. The couple was really cute and their love was truly infectious! We were able to take advantage of a light drizzle that day and get some great scenic shots.
We love the added touch of the building’s magnificent architecture in the photos complimented by the couple’s enthusiasm!

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Elsen and David’s engagement photos and we wish them the best on their wedding day.

It was amazing to work with Elsen and David for their engagement session and we can’t be more excited to share their final images with them. You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

Winter Engagement Session in River Valley, Edmonton

Winter Engagement Session in River Valley, Edmonton

“I have named you queen.
There are taller than you, taller.
There are purer than you, purer.
There are lovelier than you, lovelier.
But you are the queen.

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.

And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

Only you and I,
Only you and I, my love,
Listen to me.” ~ Pablo Neruda

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Kim and Andrew are high school sweethearts! They met at Halloween dance 11 years ago and have since been inseparable. I say those are #lovagoals. Kim and Andrew often take walks together in the river valley. This was also one of the first places Kim showed to Andrew when he visited her in Edmonton from Ontario before they both moved to Edmonton.

We like capturing stories and given that the beautiful Edmonton river valley was such an important part of Kim and Andrew’s love story, we thought it would be an excellent backdrop for their engagement photos! Where would you want your engagement photos?

It was amazing to work with Kim and Andrew for their engagement session. You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

First Impressions

“You are my today, and all of my tomorrows.”
-Leo Christopher

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

The idea of love, at first sight, is delightful.

And sometimes it is just familiarity, where one soul recognizes another and calls it home.

For Jonathan and Nicole, the familiarity turned into something lasting. Their story began at the University of Alberta while volunteering together. Nicole caught John’s attention right away. While their first conversation didn’t go ideally, they gave it a shot and eventually the lovely couple found in each other something special. A classic four prong diamond ring promised forever for these two.

The Engagement Session at University of Alberta Old Arts Building

A building as old as a century, the Arts Building is full of stories. It is no surprise that the couple chose it to commemorate their special day. With its traditional red bricks and creeping vines, it made for the perfect backdrop and added beautiful hues of reds to the couple’s pictures. We had the chance to capture the love in the air surrounded by nature and fall colors.
The couple chose the location for its role in their story, and the pictures reveal their happiness and just how first impressions are not always the end. The day was complemented by the perfect weather.

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

It was amazing to work with Nicole & Jonathan 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!

Paola & Olsi’s Engagement Session at Edmonton’s Government House

Engagement Session at Government House Edmonton

Eternal Promises

“True love stories never have endings” – Richard Bach

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

True love stories never have endings as they say, but they definitely have many beginnings. Engagements for example are always the beginning of a new chapter of hopeful many in love stories. In the case of the lovely couple Paola and Olsi, this new chapter of eternal commitment was heralded with a promise in the form of a ring. Their engagement ring is a classical and elegant round cut diamond set in a multi-stone halo. And we have had the privilege to commemorate their new chapter, and help them tell this part of their story, the way they want it o be told. Our photographs of Paola and Olsi happy and in love are the coulorful words with which we write to welcome them to their soon wedded bliss.

The Engagement Session in Edmonton’s Government House

The Engagement photo session took place at Edmonton’s Government House. This location is both historic and gorgeous in the way it combines the beauty of architecture with the beauty of nature. The Government House has a fabulous well cared for garden, and we have been successful in pairing the popping greenery with a golden sunset that adorned the love of our young couple. We are happy to have had the chance to contribute in immortalizing this moment of joy for Paola and Olsi and we wish them tons more. Their engagement photos reflect their delicate deep love, and we have certainly captured more of these warm fuzzy feelings from many angles.

It was amazing to work with Paola and Olsi on their special day and we can’t be more excited to share their images. You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

Pam & John // Love In Manhattan

 Love In Manhattan | <3

In some of my previous posts, I shared some of my adventures from New York City. One of those adventures was with this amazing couple: Jean-Pierre & Katy. This is another blog post that tells tales of my adventures in that amazing city. I witnessed Love in Manhattan and these photos are part of that story 🙂

I went to NY as part of a workshop called Choo Choo Camp (I know sounds silly…Its a really long story) and during the workshop I got to meet some amazing humans! As part of the workshop I learnt things ranging from new innovative photography techniques to brilliant client services methods.

Following the workshop, I got a chance to photograph some amazing couples on the streets of New York. This is is second of the 6 couples that I photographed in New York! Pam and John had an intimate chemistry and a playful flavor to their personalities that is clearly visible through the photographs! They looked into each other’s eyes and got lost at times. I experienced love in Manhattan first hand.

Pam & John, you are cute and romantic beyond words! <3 Here is some proof if you don’t believe me…

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 adventures first!
