Leina & Ajay // Edmonton Street Car Wedding

A Love Story Like No Other!

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Rumi

My friends got married. That was surreal! I have known Leina and Ajay from the time I was in University and that was yearsss ago! I have seen their love blossom and grow and I am honored and humbled that they choose me to document their wedding day. Congratulations you two adorable love birds!!!

Their wedding was on top of the North Saskatchewan River in a vintage street car. Their wedding day was stormy and passionate just like their fierce love for each other. Here are some same day edits of Leina & Ajay’s wedding day.

The Wedding Slideshow

Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with Nathan & Mackenzie’s wedding. It was created from a selection of photos that tell the story of the couple’s wedding day.

NATHAN GETTING READY IN STYLE

The wedding truly begins with preparations and the magic is in the details. Our day began at The Best Western Plus Fort Saskatchewan Inn & Suites. With cool axes with his name, the coordinating boutonnière and cufflinks, and the perfect shoes to compliment his outfit, the groom didn’t take any chances for his big day. Nathan’s dad also gave us #dadgoals with their heartfelt picture together. The groomsmen pulled all stops to showcase their support too! With matching axes and coordinated outfits, they made a great party!

MACKENZIE GETTING READY TO IMPRESS

The preparations showed throughout the day, with a dashing ring bearer who meant business and props for making a special announcement.
Mackenzie got ready at a rustic house near the wedding venue. We got some pictures of the bride and her mom sharing some cute moments. She rocked her tattoos and really let her personality shine through. What is more badass than being a work of art on your big day?

THEIR CEREMONY IN A UNIQUE LOCATION

The ceremony took place in an unusual off-path location near a highway. The details really added to the day. From their furry friend Misha to the little surprise they had for the wedding guests. The rings were escorted by an efficient young man who took his job very seriously. Nathan and Mackenzie said their vows in standing at a rustic setting with a really cool compass, some buckets full of flowers and eyes full of love!
We love food. Apparently these two do too! Instead of having a cake, they had a donut tower by The Italian Bakery. You heard it right. Not only were they pretty as a bunch but also delicious!

FAMILY PHOTOS

We were able to capture the warmth and love that the whole family had for these two and we’re so glad we did! We recognise that family is an important part of their happiness so it’s only appropriate to save those memories right at the location of the ceremony! We are sure they will always look back on these with fondness.

CREATIVE FORMALS TO CHERISH

The day was perfect for taking some beautifully lit photos. One of our favourite shots is the one with Mackenzie on a bench and Nathan pecking her cheek. It truly reminds one of a storybook romance.
Have you ever wondered what a ‘perfect ending’ looks like?
It looks like all those gooey eyes that give us serious wedding fever, but also some truly special moments where it’s just the two of them. The bridal party helped make the pictures so much cuter! We are just glad to have been there to capture it all!

THE RECEPTION

Some ceremonies truly turn out to perfectly. This was one of them. But the reception topped the list for the most fun event! Nathan and Mackenzie used cute props to announce that they are expecting a baby! Not surprisingly, the audience got really emotional. All that happiness in one room was truly spectacular to witness. So we got to do some pre-baby photos which the couple showed in a slideshow at the wedding! The audience oohed and aahed at some really heartfelt toasts and many tears and laughs were shared.
Nathan and Mackenzie started the part with a first dance and then everyone truly took it off! The DJ kept the party rocking and the groomsmen wowed with some fantastic moves. The bride and groom also came for one last showdown too!
We were also able to capture the classic moments to catch the flying bouquet as Mackenzie tossed it.

It was amazing to work with Mackenzie and Nathan 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.

End of the World & Love!

Engagement Session at End Of The World Edmonton

engagement session at end fo the world, edmonton

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:

where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”
Pablo Neruda

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Hockey happens to be both a favorite past time for Canadians as well as a pathway for love! Neda and Nathan met playing hockey year and years ago! This adorable couple went for their first date to the River Valley and it was also the place where Nathan proposed. Obviously, it was the ideal choice for the engagmeent photos as well!

It was an extremely chilly day wtih temperatures around -20 but Neda and Nathan braved the elements and we were able to create some awesome artwork for the couple! We also went down to the End of the World which has one of the most unique view of the Sasketchwan River (albeit it was frozen when we went there).

It was amazing to work with Neda & Nathan for their engagement session! You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

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.

Winter Engagement Session in River Valley, Edmonton

winter engagement session - edmonton engagement photographer - river valley

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!

Kataria Engagement Session at Wabamun Lake, Alberta

Fall and Love

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.” – Rumi

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Manish and Kiran’s story is the classic Bollywood romance! They met in India years and years ago where Manish saw Kiran and instantly knew she was the one. He proposed to her last year with a spectacular proposal and the couple will get married this year in India.

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT WABAMUN LAKE

Kiran & Manish’s engagement session took place across two locations within Alberta. We first went down to the Alberta Legislature building where we took photos of the couple with beautiful fall foliage and the epic architecture of the legislature building. We then traveled to Wabamun lake where we rented a Canoe and took photos over the lake. These lovebirds were super adventurous and were willing to use a canoe even in severe weather conditions that included chilly winds and near-zero temperatures.  The engagement photos reflect their selfless love and desire for adventure and I wish them the very best for their wedding in India!

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

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!

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Hufsah and Harris met through mutual friends. They`ve been hearing of each other for a while, and finally met about a year ago. Their engagement was a cultural traditional Pakistani one, where both families came together on April 14th, 2018 in Calgary to give their blessings and support to the betrothed couple. During this celebration, Harris offered Hufsah a gorgeous princess cut diamond set in a stunning double halo ring
Hufsah is Calgarian and Harris is Edmontonian; nonetheless, he has had an interesting life between many places such as Dubai and Pakistan. The happy couple are both bankers who share a love for good food, nature, hiking and exploring trails.

The Engagement Session at the University of Alberta’s old Arts building

The engagement photo session took place at the Old Arts building at the University of Alberta, a location that is not strange to couples wishing to celebrate and commemorate their love. The romance was in the air, a mix of architectural and natural wonders. We took beautiful pictures of the happy bride and groom to be while surrounded by the carefully cared for foliage and pond of the university, and its resident playful squirrels. And the enjoyable session was complemented by a warm rain
