The Cutest Couples & The Best Sunset at Muttart Conservatory
The Engagement Ring and How They Met
Brianna & Kris are one of the cutest couples I have ever photographed. They are both nerdy and love start wars! They met at the Alliance Church in Spruce Grove in 2014. They would often hang out after choir and discuss things ranging from Harry Potter to Start Wars. Kris would often take Brianna’s son to rock climbing as well!
This cute couple had its first date at the Muttart Conservatory. Given their affinity for rock climbing, they climbed the Dove of Peace! Kris proposed to Brianna on January 28th, 2017. The bought the ring together and then went to the Van Oyster Bar for dinner. They had oysters the first time and followed that with a walk down Whyte Avenue! They eventually went down to their first date spot, the Muttart Conservatory, where Kris went down on one knee to propose. Somehow, the ring fell down in the snow and both Kris & Brianna had to go searching for it.
The only words Kris had said on his knees were: “I have an important question”
The immediate answer that followed was “Yes!”
Kris, being the amazing gentleman that he is, went to see Brianna’s parents first and got their permission. With their blessing, this couple got engaged and will be getting married really really soon!
The hair and makeup were done by the amazing Hamana of Hamana’s Artistry. She used a palette of beautiful colors that suited Brianna’s outfit and skin tones but also made her look very beautiful! Krist looked equally handsome in his jeans and plaid shirt!
The Engagement Session at Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton
Muttart conservatory is one of the most beautiful spots within the city. With its unique combinations of pyramids and scenic view of the city, it is the perfect spot for engagement photos. I love including places that are sentimental and important to my couples in the photos. In this case, this was the spot where the two love birds had their first date!
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Brianna & Kris’s engagement photos and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.

The ring is here and you are still in shock (in a good way!). And now its time to plan a wedding! Where do you begin, you ask? This is where I come in and give you some of the wisdom I have gathered after having photographing numerous couples and their weddings! First, find the ideal date(s) of your wedding. Then, find the perfect wedding venue that is available on one of those dates. Rest of the details follow!
Figure out when!
Figure out where!
Rest of the details follow.
I have put together this list to help you find some awesome wedding venues in and around Edmonton! I have personally photographed weddings at each of these venues and can therefore recommend them with full confidence! Also, here is a GIF to get you started:
AKA, Dwight would read this article and therefore you should too 😀
FAIRMONT HOTEL MACDONALD
Do you imagine you wedding in a beautiful sun lit room with chandeliers and tapestries that look like they came from the set of The Great Gatsby? Well, then the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald is the perfect venue for you. They have several beautiful ball rooms and event spaces. I am personally a fan of the Wedgwood room that is shown below in some of these images.
The hotel also has a balcony that overlooks the Edmonton skyline and doubles as a great spot for photos! Right by the balcony, is a fountain and mini garden. Both, excellent places to take photos!
Edmonton is a beautiful city except if you are stuck on the Henday on a Monday morning with a foot of snow on the road… All traffic stress aside, the Devonian Botanical Gardens are an excellent choice as a wedding venue! They offer a beautiful location with lots of room, decent pricing and a fantastic place to take gorgeous wedding photos! They also offer an indoor show house as a backup location to couples that book their ceremony with them. This is a pretty great backup plan in case the Edmonton weather decides to be unruly on your wedding day (yeah I am talking about that July shower that shows up out of nowhere!!).
EDMONTON STREET CAR
Imagine you are in the middle of a river on a top of a bridge in a vintage street car. Your partner is standing in front of you telling you how much they love you and why they want you to be their partner in crime for the rest of their life. It is your wedding ceremony and your in the middle of a frikking bridge on top of a river. Yeah! That is what I am talking about haha! This is one of those uniquely Edmonton wedding venues that has so much offer but isn’t well known enough in my opinion! Albeit the capacity of the street car is 30 people so it is usually suited for a more intimate ceremony, it makes up for it in the form of novelty and charm! You can see more about this venue on their website here!
ALBERTA ART GALLERY
Do you imagine your wedding in an iconic location that has some of the coolest architecture and fantastic downtown views, a location that is in itself a piece of artwork? Well the Alberta Art Gallery is right down your alley then! It is a fantastic wedding venue with its prime location and terrace ceremony area. It also features some unique architecture with sweeping stairs and ultra-futuristic construction that makes for a fantastic location for wedding photos! You can check out the wedding I photographed at the Art Gallery of Alberta Below:
GREYSTONE GARDENS BED & BREAKFAST
Want a charming outdoor venue that is surrounded by beautiful nature, trees and the serene quiet that comes from being away from the city? Greystone Bed & Breakfast is another unique venue that is very competitively priced but offers an amazing place to have your wedding at. The large ground offer a variety of options for the ceremony itself as well as options for taking beautiful photos. There is also an adorable tree swing that children can play (and so can you!). Imagine your dress flying behind you while your hubby-to-be pushes the swing (I imagine a squeal ‘weeeeee’)!
DEVON LIONS CAMPGROUND
Alright, technically not a Edmonton wedding venue but it is close enough that I felt like it should be included! It is a 30 minute drive away from Edmonton and is nestled right along the Saskatchewan River. It has absolutely gorgeous views of the river itself and a beautiful nature backdrop. It is also extremely reasonably priced! You can check out their website here!
Do you envision your wedding reception in gorgeous barn surrounded by a spruce trees? Well The Whitewood Barn may just be tailor made for your exactly your wedding!! This gorgeous venue is located around 10 minutes away from the Edmonton International Airport and comes equipped with their own Bridal Suite where you can get ready in the morning with your besties. It also has one of the most beautiful ceremony areas I have ever seen! You can check out more of their venue on their website here!
You have heard of 2 for 1s, but have you heard of 10 for 1? Well, now you have! Fort Edmonton Park is 10 wedding venues rolled up into one awesome location. According to its own website, it is a place filled with living history with its historic churches, gardens and hangar! Yeah, you heard that right, you could host your wedding inside a renovated airplane hangar.
I could literally write a whole blog post about this wedding venue but that is for another time.
It is often the people who make the place and in the case of the Windermere Golf & Country Club, this is very true! Their staff is amazing and goes above and beyond for their guests. I have had the privilege of photographing several weddings at this venue and each time, the staff surprised me with their due diligence and attention to detail. It is also a beautiful location with large grounds that have several fountains and ponds. An advantage of having a venue like this one is that you can stay the entire day at one place. Do your ceremony on the outdoor terrace, take your family and formal photos on the grounds and then join the family for cocktails!
Contact me and I will be happy to help! Please note that due to the large number of inquiries I receive about venues, I prioritize couples who have booked me as their photographer.
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.
Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with Zac & Mary’s wedding package. It was created from a selection of their best photos captured on their special day, mixed with a lovely song!
It was amazing to work with Zac & Mary 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!

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!
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.
