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!

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 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 Illuminated Rumi

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

I have always loved art. Being around art. Being around color.
I was always fascinated by the visage and stylization since I was a teenager. It is my passion, my love, and my life.

I don’t have my favorite one simply because I enjoy every single one I am involved. The whole process of preparations, consultations always brings me closer to my clients.
I feel very emotional with all of my brides and their bridal parties, kind of like part of their family.

Actually, deposit it’s a very important part of the booking. Deposit secure wedding day and should be paid as soon as the bride is 100% sure to book our services. Days not secured with deposit are open to anyone who is interested in booking our services.

What is included when a couple books your services for their wedding?

I offer different packages to personalize clients needs, the best is to contact me to discuss everything.

I offer a free consultation which allows me to meet my clients and understand their needs and personalized they services.

I find nothing more inspiring or challenging than to be a part of a creative team where all our ideas collectively make the beautiful work.
However, if you add a little bit of heart and hard work, you are able to create a true masterpiece. The piece, of the most beautiful art on a human face.
This is exactly what I am doing, I enhance the real beauty, which resides in every woman.

What do you have planned for the future?

I would love to focus on the growth of my company and in the near future to be able to do all services in my own studio.

How many people can you accommodate? (i.e bridal party makeup)

up to 8, when the timing is limited I have artists who help me with bigger bridal parties if necessary.

What makes your services unique?

My ability to adapt to various different looks.
Whether I am working backstage on a parade, on location for a fashion shoot or in a studio, being flexible and easy-going to bring out the best in any subject. Having regular exposure to production give me an understanding of the entire team workflow and adjust to the circumstances required in not only meeting but exceeding creative briefs.

How long has this business been a part of the community?

I have been in Canada for over 4 years but basically, I have worked for over 8 years as a makeup artist.

Nicolle & Stephen | Their Story <3

Nicolle & Stephen are cute. No, that is an understatement. They are a very cute couple. They are extremely photogenic and have the best candid expressions even with a huge camera staring at them. I had the privilege of photographing this couple’s engagement session! I will also be photographing their wedding in September and I am so excited about that! Here are some photos from their engagement session in our signature engagement slideshow:

https://vimeo.com/177160904

Location: Victoria Park

Our choice of location was based on the couple’s preference for nature. Summer in Edmonton is an amazing time for photos and almost any location can serve well! Victoria park was a great location for photos due to the green trees, fences and beautiful pathway. All of these elements show up in our photos for the couple below.

It was a very warm and beautiful day. It was sunny with the perfect amount of wind and obscene number of mosquitoes.

Here are some of the photos of the couple during the rest of the engagement session:

Andrea & Mark’s Engagement Photos at Victoria Park Ice Rink in Edmonton

Andrea & Mark’s Engagement Session at Victoria Park Ice Rink in Edmonton

A cold, snowy but beautiful afternoon in Edmonton!

https://vimeo.com/152016877

After having met Andrea and Mark in a cafe over coffee, I knew this session would be amazing. To say that the session went well would be quite an understatement. It was extremely cold that day and it was snowing heavily. Perfect conditions for some amazing snow photos!

This is their story and I am so glad I got to be a part of it!

After having met at the Ranch, Edmonton in 2013 during a party, Mark and Andrea decided there was something to explore beyond friendship here. They started dating shortly afterwards and did not attend many parties thereafter(not being party people themselves!). Being an adventurous couple, they went rock climbing and camping many times. On November 28th, 2015 Mark decided he wanted this beautiful woman to be a permanent part of his life and proposed to her in front of the Alberta Legislature. Andrea accepted and shortly after their engagement they met me and I got to hear this awesome love story. After hearing that both Mark and Andrea were expert ice skaters (Andrea is a figure skater!!), we decided an ice rink was the place to go! Mark and Andrea brought their Oiler’s Jerseys as well to show their love for their home team! Go Oilers!

Mark and Andrea’s Engagement Photos in Edmonton at the Ice Rink

We started off near the entrance of the Victoria Park in Edmonton and booted up to avoid the cold! That is when I started shooting away and saw the magic happen. Yes, Magic aka Love. Andrea and Mark were two bodies but one soul and their smiles and laughs were evidence of their love for each other! Look at these photos and tell me if it isn’t true?

edmonton-wedding-photographers-box-cube-photography-mark-andrea 1
Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!

Well at one point I saw that the snowfall is extremely heavy around where Mark and Andrea were standing. It got me thinking, “How the hell is that possible?”. I look up and there is a squirrel moving the branches causes excess snowfall! Wow… Divine intervention?

edmonton-wedding-photographers-box-cube-photography-mark-andrea 5

Aren’t Engagement Rings Awesome?

Mark and Andrea love hockey and anything related to it. Therefore, their ring had to be hosted on a crow of a hockey puck as seen below!

edmonton-wedding-photographers-box-cube-photography-mark-andrea 3

Because Umbrella!

Now if there is snowfall, my brain defaults “Pretty pictureeesss!”. Mark and Andrea had a particular fascination with One Photo I took for Shahmeran & Tooba a year ago under a lit umbrella with snowfall happening around them. Well,  we had to do that again!
