MJ & Shaneen’s Wedding at Devon Lions Campground // Devon Photographer

Love in all its beauty!

“Life is full of choices, Loving you isn’t one of them – I have no control over that.” – Unknown

I am honored that MJ & Shaneen chose me to photograph their love and their beautiful wedding day! The wedding was a beautiful ceremony by the side of the North Sasketchwan River. The happy couple tied a knot with all of their friends and family surrounding them. Their vows were full of heart-felt stories that made everyone cry! MJ actually sang a song as part of her vows (“I wanna grow old with you” by Adam Sandler”). And last but not least, Theodore, the couple’s adorable dog joined us as the ring-bearer for the ceremony!

The Bishop-Lea Engagement Session in Namao, Alberta

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

Mackenzie and Nathan are one cute and adorable couple. They met on Tinder, the bringer of people together and the birther of modern love. Nathan is a power engineer whose spare time hobby is hunting. His hunting skills have gotten him the best catch of his life: our sublime bride to be Mackenzie! Mackenzie works for the government of Alberta and likes to dance. Obviously, she waltzed right into her lucky hubby’s life. The two like to bake together and are, simply put, a real-life white picket fence type of couple. Their first date took place at The Canadian Brewhouse of Northgate Mall. Nathan knew how important and cut-throat first dates and first impressions are. So, even though he had broken his finger in a bike related incident right before the date, he did not want to miss it. He soldiered through a competitive bowling match with Mackenzie, who happens to be a strong energetic woman who lifts regularly, and then they went on a memorable walk in the river valley. Sometime later when it was time to pop the big question, Nathan proposed to Mackenzie in Hawaii with a classic petite-pavé princess cut diamond ring. The simple yet elegant cut of the engagement ring reflects on the very spirit of this spontaneous life-loving couple.

The Engagement Session on Whyte Avenue Edmonton

The Engagement session took place on a gorgeous and truly picture worthy property in the small hamlet of Namao in Central Alberta. The goofiness, laughter filled aura of this loveable couple filled the air and the photography session was a breezy enjoyable experience. Nathan and Mackenzie also brought along their cute puppies that we had the joy of incorporating in our photos. The same location will be the wedding location, so it was a great little adventure for our team and our bride and groom to be, to explore all the nooks and crannies that will make our natural setting. We caught all the right angles and took some mesmerizing stills some of which we are thrilled to share with you.
The lightly drifting clouds in a clear blue sky allowed us to play with the natural light and capture the love and happiness of our adorable couple and their furry children in very many shades. We were also blessed with a breathtaking romantic sunset that shone a golden light on the shimmery strands of our bride’s gorgeous hair and added to the twinkle of love in the eyes of the lovers. Mother nature also set us up with a young field of canola flowers that was greatly and equally appreciated by both us and the dogs. All in all, this was a beautiful joyful session.

We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Mackenzie and Nathan’s engagement session and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day. You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

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.

Lisa Marie Couture – Mistress of the Storm

Lisa Marie Couture – Mistress of the Storm – Edmonton Portrait Photographer

“Mistress of the Storm” comes from the book by Melanie Walsh. It goes over the journey of a boat and its crew through a storm as the name implies. That gave me the inspiration to create this portrait concept.

There is nothing quite like taking an environmental portrait with an excellent team working with you. This was such an opportunity. Wizard lake provided us with the perfect blend of water and storm to create this amazing imagery. Environmental portraits represent some of the most challenging portraits that can be achieved as they are meant as a mix of both the subject and the environment in a complex manner that is not only complementary but almost symbiotic.

I collaborated with Lisa Marie couture to product this concept that I call “Mistress of the Storm”. Lisa Marie is a dress designer who makes these fabulous dresses for her clients (Brides).

In order to create this images Yara Sayegh assisted me! She helped us get setup for the shoot and then followed up with providing logistic support by making sure that my equipment didn’t blow away due to the severe storm prevalent at that time. For that I am grateful!

One of the funniest(and cute) thing that happened during the shoot was the fact that Jane was extremely cold and her friend and her Husband (Oleg) decided to make a human sandwich to warm her up! One of the photos is shown below of “the human sandwich”.

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Brendan Proposes to Alyssa

If fairy tales come true, this was one of them.

This young fellow contacted me through my email and said to me “If you can take pictures today of a proposal outside, this contract is your’s”.
Now keep in mind this was at the start of an Edmonton Winter and it was coooold (-20 that day). I said yes I will do it, because I knew it would give me a chance to witness something wonderful and it did as you will see below!

So Brendan drives me down to the location and tells me that His to-be-fiance did not know about this and that I should stay hidden and take picture incognito, so I went into my ninja mode and hid in the trees pretending to take pictures of the nature out in the cold.

Allysa and Brendan

 

So here I waited like a ninja for a solid twenty minutes before the couple arrived.
They started walking towards a pretty bridge I had told Brendan to use as the location for the proposal.

Allysa and Brendan-2

And here I was sitting in the foliage snapping pictures….

They reached the bridge and started talking randomly… as couples do when they take walk together with their cute dog!

Allysa and Brendan-3

Then he says something funny, and she starts laughing… Oh Btw my toes were frozen by this time… and he is reaching for the ring as well!

Allysa and Brendan-4

 

And he gets on his knee and asks her to be with him…

Couple-6

 

And guess what? She said yes! Look at that adorable couple! Don’t you just melt in this wintery weather with happiness?

Couple-7

Couple-8

Then I got a chance to make them pose for me once Alyssa knew her SO had hired us to immortalize this beautiful moment!

 

We do our best among the Edmonton Wedding Photographers community.
