SUMMER WEDDING AT FAIRMONT HOTEL MACDONALD, EDMONTON

The way he talked about their dreams
it made her want to grab his hand
and run quickly into their tomorrows

The Wedding Slideshow

Above is a slideshow featuring Damaris and Jeremy on their wedding day. We chose some of the highlights of their photos from their special day.

THEIR STORY

It is in the most unexpected moments we find our perfect person. Damaris and Jeremy met in their workplace. Jeremy gave Damaris a tour and found a connection! Their first date was coffee and board games which led us here, to their wedding. The wedding originally had to take place in a vineyard but they are on the front lines in the pandemic as healthcare workers, and choose a small ceremony in Edmonton.

 

DAMARIS GETTING READY AT THE WESTIN EDMONTON

I enjoyed taking photos of Damaris getting ready for her big day. She did her own makeup and chose a stunning dress for the ceremony. It was a small ceremony but the couple pulled off a regal look that is bound to be on everybody’s list!
Damaris looked like a princess and the dress paired very well with the venue and theme.

 

CEREMONY AT THE FAIRMONT HOTEL MACDONALD

Due to the pandemic, the couple decided on a small ceremony and the guests attended wearing masks. The ceremony was led by John Son. It took place on the beautiful patio of Fairmont Hotel, overlooking the Edmonton skyline. Damaris teared up during the vows and the guests followed! Despite a rain forecast we were lucky to witness a beautiful day. The couple sang a heartfelt prayer together for their perfect beginning. 

 

CREATIVE FORMALS AT THE FAIRMONT MACDONALD PATIO

The location is perfect for a summer wedding, and luckily the weather stayed perfect all day! The formals looked stunning both indoors and outdoors. The couple enjoys piano and them playing together is one of the cutest photos of the shoot! Coupled with how absolutely in love they are, the pictures turned out regal.  My favourite photo is of Damaris standing at the gates of the venue looking absolutely picturesque in white. 

 

FAMILY PHOTOS AT THE FAIRMONT MACDONALD 

We took photos of Damaris and her mom sharing an emotional moment. I am so glad to be part of their special day and to capture the shared happiness. The families of the bride and groom looked just as stunning!

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.

Alyssa & Jeemer’s Engagement Session on Whyte Avenue, Edmonton

A Snowy Street & Two Souls in Love!

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Their Story

This is a story of sweet love and two super adorable humans: Alyssa & Jeemers!

These two love birds met in 2008 as they both went to the same Sunday school. A mutual friend introduced them at the time however their story didn’t start until a few years later. Almost 8.5 years ago, Jeemers thought it would be a good idea to add Alyssa on Facebook and that led to one thing after another. Now the couple is getting ready to start their life together next year.

The Ring & Proposal

Jeemers asked Alyssa to marry him in the very same church they had originally met years and years ago! Their family and loved ones joined the couple and even played some music to celebrate the occasion. It couldn’t have been sweeter!

The Engagement Session

I suggested to the couple that Whyte Avenue might be a great location for photos and they agreed. We started the morning near the Farmer’s Market where we took some awesome photos. The green gates and graffiti were a fantastic backdrop for their playful photos.

At one point or another, we had a cone of ice cream and some fierce competition on who could eat it. Alyssa did win this competition handily…

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

A Fall Wedding Like No Other!

“Then love knew it was called love.
And when I lifted my eyes to your name,
suddenly your heart showed me my way”  ― Pablo Neruda

The Wedding Slideshow

Above is the beautiful wedding slideshow I created for Jon & Nicole. It was created from a selection of photos that tell the story of the couple’s wedding day.

Their Story!

Here is a link to the couple’s engagement session:

First Look at the Windermere Golf & Country Club

These two adorable humans asked me to photograph their wedding almost 1.5 years ago! Since then, I have thought about how I will make sure I tell their story and do it justice! I want to share some of the photos from their wedding day in this blog and I am so excited for the Jon & Nicole!

We started the day off with photographing Jon and some of his groomsmen at the Windermere Golf & Country Club, Edmonton. While we were waiting for Nicole to arrive, me and Alaa (my second photographer) scouted some of the locations around the golf club for the first look!

First Look: https://www.brides.com/story/brides-reveal-pros-cons-of-first-look-wedding-photos

Once Nicole arrived, the couple did their first look and let me tell, it was a tear jerker! I must have teared up a few times. It was a beautiful and emotional moment. Jon, being the softie, was tearing up right as Nicole was walking up to him.

Ceremony at the Windermere Golf & Country Club, Edmonton

The couple was joined by their family and loved ones for a beautiful ceremony. One of the most memorable moments for me from the ceremony was the vows where Jon told Nicole about how he started writing his vows the day he met Nicole. THIS WAS WHERE THE FLOOD GATES OPENED! The ceremony was led by Naomi Tichkowsky.

Family Photos at the Windermere Golf & Country Club

After the ceremony, we did family photos at the Golf Club and the beautiful grounds. We got some awesome photos of the Nicole & Jon with their parents, sibblings and friends.

Reception at the Golf Club

After the family photos, the couple had arranged a luncheon reception. During the reception, the had a few games, speeches and a personalized newspaper that announced their wedding. The reception was catered and organized by the excellent staff at the Windermere Golf & Country Club.

Creative Formals at the Alfred H. Savage Centre

One of my favorite parts of the wedding is the creative formals. Here, the wedding party and me go to a cool location and take some posed and life-style photos. For Nicole & Jon, we went to the Alfred H. Savage Centre. It has some awesome scenery around the area that made for fantastic fall backdrops. At one point during the photos, two random strangers showed up with electric scooters. Well, me being me, I asked to borrow the scooter for the couple and we go some adorable photos 😀

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.

My camera and a goofy family!

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that’s what you’ve given me.” — Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Dan and Giulia met almost 2 years ago at Lakeland College. As they say, the rest is history! They have an adorable family of 3 young boys who are featured in their element in this blog post!

On a side note, Dan had to bribe the 3 boys to get their blessing so he could marry their mom <3 isn’t that adorable!

They are by far one of the funniest couples I have met (and they are laid back!). Their engagement session was a dream. We went out to the Rainbow Valley Park right around sunset to take some dreamy photos of the couple! With the fall foliage in the background and this couple, it was easy to produce these photos 😀

Fall Family Portraits with Golden Light!

Think about the best summer you have had where you were a child and you were running around with your sibblings and cousins. This is what I got to relive with the Hawkins family. I am so glad I got to photograph their lovely and beautiful family for their fall family session. We had 6 grandchildren and one big awesome family. The children ran around and did goofy things in the tall grass at the Rainbow Valley Park in Edmonton and I got to capture all of that with my camera <3

Leina & Ajay’s Wedding at Edmonton Street Car

wedding-in-edmonton-street-car-edmonton-wedding-photographer-box-cube-photography

Leina & Ajay’s Wedding in Edmonton Street Car

A Story Book Ending! Literally!

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise,
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.” –
Hafiz

The Wedding Slideshow

Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that we created for Leina & Ajay. It was created from a selection of photos that tell the story of the couple’s wedding day.

Their Story!

Here is a link to the couple’s engagement session:

Ajay Getting Ready at the Varscona Hotel, Edmonton

We started the day off with some getting ready photos of Ajay in the morning with his groomsmen! We started off with some photos of details like Ajay’s jacket, the rings and his shoes. Then we get an adorable photo of Ajay as he opened a gift Leina had given to him for the wedding: a pen with Ajay’s name on it! The Varscona Hotel is an awesome location as we had some awesome window light for the photos combined with classic furniture.

Leina Getting Ready at the Varscona Hotel, Edmonton

After photographing Ajay, we went to Leina’s room within the same hotel and started with some of her details including her shoes, jewelery and her dress. Leina’s bridesmaids (Hillary & Madhu) happen to be my (Sharyar) former classmates and it was awesome seeing them again after years. They had both flown in to attend Leina’s wedding and were wonderful bridesmaid. We also photographed a first look for Leina and her dad where her dad saw Leina in the dress for the first time. It was a beautiful and emotional moment <3

Ceremony in the Edmonton Street Car

There is some magic to Ajay and Leina’s story. Ajay literally wrote a book about their story and this is just cheery on the top. Ajay and Leina decided to get married on the iconic Edmonton Street Car. If you want to read more about the Edmonton Street Car and this awesome venue, check out our blog post about it here!

The wedding ceremony was officiated by Julie Tkachuk. It was a beautiful ceremony that included happy tears and smile in abundance. Even I cried at one point… Seeing two of my friends get married was emotional!

Formals in the Storm! And Nuggets 😀

After the ceremony, we stopped at the Edmonton Street Car barn where we took some family photos for the couple. After that, we started doing formal photos and by this point, some storm clouds had rolled in. There was also a tornado advisory at that point so it was  weeee bit windy. It started raining heavily and we created this photo!

wedding-in-edmonton-street-car-edmonton-wedding-photographer-box-cube-photography

At this point, Amanda, my wonderful second shooter had to drag me and the couple so the hail wouldn’t kill us! Thanks Amanda!

Well, I couldn’t really give up so we went and enjoyed some McDonald’s and took some more photos there that you can see below. I wouldn’t be surpised if more couples want to use McDonalds as a location for the wedding photos after these 😀

Reception at the Faculty Club

Leina & Ajay held their reception the next day at the Faculty club where they were joined by their friends and family. The faculty club was exactly the right venue as the University of Alberta was where their journey began years ago. There was an awesome choregraphed first dance followed by tearful (happy) father daughter dance. I did end up dragging the couple outside to do some sunset photos and I am so happy that they trusted me even with all the mosquitos biting us!

Oh and here is a selfie of us from the engagement session!

I am so excited to share these images and I am so happy for Leina and Ajay!!
