Pam & John // Love In Manhattan

Love In Manhattan | <3

In some of my previous posts, I shared some of my adventures from New York City. One of those adventures was with this amazing couple: Jean-Pierre & Katy. This is another blog post that tells tales of my adventures in that amazing city. I witnessed Love in Manhattan and these photos are part of that story 🙂

I went to NY as part of a workshop called Choo Choo Camp (I know sounds silly…Its a really long story) and during the workshop I got to meet some amazing humans! As part of the workshop I learnt things ranging from new innovative photography techniques to brilliant client services methods.

Following the workshop, I got a chance to photograph some amazing couples on the streets of New York. This is is second of the 6 couples that I photographed in New York! Pam and John had an intimate chemistry and a playful flavor to their personalities that is clearly visible through the photographs! They looked into each other’s eyes and got lost at times. I experienced love in Manhattan first hand.

Pam & John, you are cute and romantic beyond words! <3 Here is some proof if you don’t believe me…

Bitten by the travel bug, my dream now is to photograph love on every corner of the earth! If you are an adventurous soul who yearns to create some amazing photographs, contact me and we will have some cool adventures together! PS We will also have amazing coffee and food to plan out the adventures first!

https://vimeo.com/175603697

How did you get started?

We are a team of two videographers. We first shot a wedding video for a friend of ours who asked us to. Once we released the video, people started inquiring and as they say the rest is history.

Tell me about your favorite wedding last season.

Our very first wedding was our favorite of last year – baseball themed wedding, beautiful bride and groom and just a lot of fun. We didn’t know what to expect coming in as it was our first time shooting a wedding but we left and we knew this is what we wanted to do. It was amazing!

How far out should a bride pay a deposit to secure your services for her wedding day?

We are booking a year ahead of time as of right now.

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

We offer two main packages: Package A and Package B. However, we offer the option to customize both our packages.
These packages come with a variety of features including two-cameras, GoPro, Drone aerial shots and lapel microphones.

How do you help couples customize their wedding?

We can offer extra coverage, more videographers, Go Pro footage, extra days and even special aerial drone coverage.

What is one interesting fact about your services?

Besides the fact we are only one of the very few certified companies that offer aerial drone footage for weddings, we love attending rehearsals. We make sure we can attend the rehearsals so that we get the best angles to capture your special day. We like to get to know our clients so that we can make their video personalized to who they are.

What do you have planned for the future?

We want to continue to grow as a business and wedding videographers. We would like to grow our team and offer the best wedding videography service in Alberta.

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

We have captured venues up to 500 people and also weddings of 50-100. We are able to accommodate our services to any size of wedding.

What makes your services unique?

A lot of wedding videos are sappy and sad; not us. We are unique in that we customize our videos based on your personality. It’s your wedding day, it’s fun and exciting and our aim is to capture that in as many ways possible.

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

2 years doing weddings, 3 years as a video production company.

Who would be the best person to contact if a couple wants to book your services?

Joe & Benjamin’s Wedding at Hastings Lake Gardens, Edmonton | Reception Slideshow

Joe & Benjamin’s Wedding at Hastings Lake Gardens, Edmonton | Edmonton Wedding Photographer

https://vimeo.com/176048302

Pinup Wedding Reception at Windsor Estates

You know when you walk into the diner and see the cutest family where the siblings help each other, the mother and father love their family and each other and it all looks like the happiest bunch! That was Joe & Benjamin. This family that consists of 6 family members and lots of love was absolutely amazing to photograph. I documented their wedding day on July 23rd, 2016. Starting early in the morning with Joe & Benjamin as they got ready, we photographed them throughout their wedding day.

The Balsa’s Same Day Slideshow

The Reception slideshow above is included in everyone one of our wedding collections and is very well loved by both family and friends. It is composed of a selection of photos from the time the bride and groom are getting ready to the ceremony, family formals and creative formals. It is presented in a classic black and white video format that we show during the reception on a projector and a screen we bring along with us. We also upload the same slideshow the very next day to our blog for everyone to enjoy while we edit and prepare the wedding day images.

Benjamin & Joe’s Online Gallery – Sign Up

Benjamin & Joe’s photos will take approximately 6-8 weeks to edit and once they have booked their viewing session and viewed their photos, the photos will be released to the following gallery for a limited time. Sign up today and we will notify you the moment the photos are released. You will be able to view and start your favorite photographs as well as order prints for your home!

Balsa Engagement Session

We photographed Joe & Benjamin for their engagement session a little before their wedding day and those photograph can be found here: https://boxcubephoto.com/balsas-engagement-session-edmonton/

Groom Getting Ready

The groom (Benjamin) got ready at his parent’s house and he looked stunning! He was accompanied by his best man Jayson who helped him get ready!

Bride Getting Ready

You know there is a certain charm to photographing the details of the bride’s jewelry and dress as seen here! Her dress was a pinup style simple but elegant piece of craftsmanship.

You know there are tears on their way when you see the bride giving a gift to her mother in law and her maid of honor. This is exactly what happened here!

It would be an understatement if I were to say that the members of this family just love each other; look at this cute photo of the mother of the groom and the bride!

Kill will be kids

Because, kids getting ready for a wedding is a thing of its own. They play game on their Nintendo DS followed by fighting with their shoes to put them on. The photo above of Joe & Tera where Joe is holding her hair was a very funny and cute moment where Tera refused to let Joe do her hair and kept making Pokemon like sounds. She was one of the flower girls of the ceremony and the bride’s eldest daughter!

Family photos at Windsor Estates

The family photos were captured at the Groom’s parent beautiful house in the Windsor Estates and this house has been in the process of building for the last 20 years as the couple wanted to build it themselves! It looks absolutely stunning!

Wedding Ceremony at the Hastings Lake Gardens, Edmonton

Joe & Benjamin had one of the fastest and shortest ceremony I have ever seen! It was extremely cute and all the guests were happy to be there for this adorable couple! Their exit was decorated with flower petals as you can see in the photo above! The wedding at Hastings lake gardens was absolutely beautiful. Following the ceremony, we were able to use the nearby locations for some great creative formals!

Creative formals at Hastings Lake Gardens & an old church!

These are some of the images that were were able to create for this adorable couple! Their wedding at the Hastings Lake Gardens was absolutely gorgeous. We had sunny weather following the ceremony which was just perfect!

Reception at Windsor Estates

Here are some of the details from their reception. The reception was held at Benjamin’s parent’s house and was setup by special event rentals!

We were so fortunate to be a part Benjamin & Joe’s wedding. It was an absolute honor to be a part of their day!

Karpan’s Engagement Session at Andrew Alberta | Edmonton Engagement Photographer

Karpan’s Engagement Session at Andrew, Alberta | Edmonton Engagement Photographer

Marko & Kimberly | Their Story <3

There was recently a fire in Fort McMurray. A similar fire had happened in Fort McMurray almost five years ago! Kimberly and Marko met during that time. Marko, being a heavy duty mechanic, was off work for the duration of the fire and spent a lot of time in Edmonton. It was during this time that the flame of love got kindled! (Isn’t that kinda poetic?).

Following this, this couple kept their relationship going for a solid five years. During April, 2016 Marko decided it was time Kimberly became his partner in crime for everything. He whipped up an awesome proposal plan that moved as follows:

During the day, Kimberly and Marko were walking when they saw a bench near Concordia University (this will come into play later!).
Marko and Kimberly went out for a date to the Keg. As per the plan, everything was the same as the first date they had ever had. From the parking spot to the booth they sat in. They had both dressed up.
Kimberly had no idea a ring was coming.
Remember the bench from point 1? After dinner they went down there and Marko played a song (from their first week of dating!). They danced together right there near the bench! By this point Kimberly knew the ring was coming!
It had gotten dark by this point. Marko got on his knee and presented a ring in a ring box with a light inside the box (how cool is that!). The light shone on the diamond. Kimberly said yes and they are getting married next month! Here are a couple of shots of the ring:

Why Andrew of all places?

During our consultation, I asked Kimberly, where did she want to have her engagement session. She mentioned a family farm near Andrew and I was sold instantly. It was quite a drive through the back roads but it was totally worth it in the end. This location represented sentimental value to Kimberly as she had played on this farm and on the tractors as a child!

As per our commitment to capturing piece of art threaded with our clients’ memories, we ensured that we created some amazing portraits for this couple!

You like flowers? Us too!

Kimberly also happens to be a florist in Edmonton and a vendor we often work with. Her floral knowledge is beyond amazing and her mastery of creating masterful floral pieces is quite cool! We did a feature of her business a while ago that can be found here: Best Buds Flowers.

Given her expertise with flowers, they had to be a part of the engagement session and they will definitely be a large part of the wedding as well!

Here is a small snippet of their engagement session in the form of a slideshow:
To follow along with their story, see the rest of the post as well 🙂

https://vimeo.com/174902881

At one point, I had to take a shot where a small tree was blocking my view. As such, Marco being awesome guys that he was, picked up an ax and chopped down the tree… I just stood there stunned having never wielded an ax myself. There were definitely a lot of mosquitoes involved buy beyond that this session was amazing!

Allison’s Portraits at Terwillegar Park, Edmonton Alberta | Edmonton Portrait Photographer

Every now and then I get a chance to collaborate with some amazing individuals in my profession. These rare chances allow me to experiment with new gear, techniques and idea that I would otherwise never try on a client’s shoot. Given these opportunities are rare and far few to my liking, I savor them when they do arrive. Taking portraits at Terwillegar Park was such a opportunity and I ensured we produced some excellent results while having a fun afternoon!

One of these opportunities showed up on in the month of May when I collaborated with Riti Jain from Makeup & Hair by Riti and Allison Martin. Allison was the model while Riti provided us with her expertise of makeup and hair. We choose a wardrobe based around the idea of complimentary colors.

The location was the beautiful Terwillegar Park in Edmonton, Alberta. Its located near the Saskatchewan River but unfortunately we were unable to access the river due to rainy weather conditions.

Here are some of the fantastic images we were able to produce in our collaboration:

This particular image was one of the more signature shots that I am able to produce my clients. It utilizes a off camera flash in combination with a very shallow depth of field to produce the beautiful bokeh. The ‘bokeh’ refers to the creamy dissolved background behind the model that ensures that the model stands out from the background.

None of the images would be possible without the assistance of Sharon Martin, Allison’s (awesome) mother! She was not only a trooper in the poor weather conditions but actually managed to crack quite a few jokes (some at my expense!) to keep our spirits up!

Box Cube Photography Strives to provide Edmonton Brides with the best in wedding photography services. Our commitment to your big day goes beyond just the wedding itself, it extends into the wedding planning stage as well. Therefore, these collaborations provide us with significant background info regarding the vendors we recommend to you.

Black and white portraits carry amazing potential due to the fact that they strip away the color that acts as almost a distraction thus leaving us with an uninhibited view of the raw image. The only thing that matters int he image is the subject, the emotion and the action visible within the photo. It is almost a synthesis of pure storytelling without the “fluff” of color. Thus, black and white portraits occupy a special place in my heart!

Here is a slideshow with a view of the rest of the images:

Tools of the Trade | Wedding Photography Gear

Tools of the Trade | Wedding Photography Gear

I am infrequently asked “What camera do you use?”. Another common questions is “Canon or Nikon?”. This is my wedding photography gear and I am happy to share it with you 🙂

As an answer to all these questions I am writing the following blog post. It details and describes my gears and choices:

Lets start with the basics:

Nikon vs. Canon:

This is one of the most often asked questions. I use primarily Nikon gear (and no I am not paid to do that!). The reason I prefer Nikon is because that is where I started. Canon is an equally capable brand! I do like the very wide dynamic range that can be found in the camera. This allows me to shoot in a variety of conditions.

The Basics:

I use a DSLR (digital single reflex lens camera). The technical jargon is meant not to confuse but elaborate. I use a variety of lens in combination with my two DSLRs. I also use a variety of lighting gear with a variety of lighting modifiers.

The Camera: D750 x 2

I use two Nikon D750s. These little beautiful monsters work well for the kind of work I do. They perform well under the pressure of a wedding day and allow me to create art pieces for my clients.

Here are a couple of feature I love about this little beauty:

Dual card slots (This allows me to backup any photos that I take to two different cards).
Wide Dynamic Range (Allows me to pull up shadows from any underexposed images in post processing).
Ultra-fast auto focus (This camera has an amazing auto focus system that allows me to nail shots on the first try and never miss a decisive moment.
Light (when you carry a camera and a 70-200 mm 2.8 lens for the entire day during a wedding, any little reduction in weight makes a huge difference!).
Amazing low-light performance (This camera can notch up ISO level to 10,000 without losing any quality. This makes it capable of producing images in near darkness)

The Lenses:

One of the perks of owning a DSLR is the ability to change lenses. I use a variety of lenses from Nikon and sigma and they are detailed below:

Sigma 35mm 1.4 – Art Series

This beautiful beautiful lens is not only one of the most optically correct but also one of the sharpest lenses that I have ever used. It is an absolute beauty and works well in every situation. The 1.4 also helps me shoot in very dark conditions or with very shallow depth of fields allowing for very certain looks in my photos that would otherwise be un-achievable.
Sigma 85mm 1.4

This is another prime lens in my gear bag. This beauty allow me to take amazing portraits that you will often find in my creative formals section. The compression combined with 1.4 aperture allows for some very unique looks.
Nikon 70-200mm 2.8

One of my friend used to call this the ray gun. For good reason too. This is one of my favorite lenses for receptions as it allows me to get candid moments. This beautiful telephoto lens is able to shoot under difficult lighting conditions while allows for vibration reduction thus giving me the ability to get tack sharp photos.
Nikon 60mm 2.8

Nikon made this little beauty thinking about ring shots. Its a nice macro lens that allows me to get up close to the rings thus letting me get amazing ring shots that you can find littered throughout my blog!

Lighting Equipment:

One of my favorite parts about creative formals is creating special lighting. This usually involves me using my trusty YN-560IV flashes as well as lighting modifiers. Here are some photos of the gear I use!

YN560IV Flashes

This little trust flash unit allows me to create special lighting effects. This flash unit has a radio trigger built in that joins with the next device that I am gonna show you.
YN600 Radio Transmitter

This little radio transmitter goes on top of my camera and triggers the flashes at the same time as the shutter clicks thus allowing to control lighting in scenes effectively.

I also use a plethora of other equipment including a carbon fiber tripod, lighting stands, umbrellas, softboxes & diffusers etc.

One essential part of my equipment is my trust Mac book Pro where I edit all the photos!

Feel free to ask me any technical questions in regards to the gear I shared info about!

Eric & Jocelyn’s Wedding in Edmonton, Alberta

Eric & Jocelyn’s Wedding, Edmonton, Alberta

To hold onto each other for a lifetime is a commitment unlike any other that you may know about. Marriage represents the very pinnacle of such a commitment. You promise to hold onto a person ain sickness and health, in sorrow and joy. It’s almost like the pairs are made in heaven and meant to come together on earth. Eric & Jocelyn are one such pair. Having met under the supervision of a friend and falling in love over a basketball game, this couple was quite meant to be.

I had a chance to photograph this couple with Allysa Hillaby on their wedding day. Their ceremony consisted of a combination/fusion of a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at the groom’s house combined with a western ceremony at the River Cree Resort & Casino.

Edmonton Weather being Edmonton weather, it decided to rain on a clear sunny day while the groomsmen and the groom were getting ready. In order to use the elements effectively I decided to use of camera flashes to set up a very cool shot that you can view in the gallery below.

To make it even more interesting the vehicle of choice for the bridal party happened to be a school bus! During the bus ride, we had a chance to see the bridal party have a whole party on the way to the venue.

You can view the images in the form of a slideshow below! This is our wedding slideshow and none of our wedding would be complete without this signature product!

Amara & Zubair’s Wedding In Edmonton, AB

Amara & Zubair’s Wedding | Edmonton, AB

Part of being someone’s wedding day is an amazing opportunity and I had the honor of photographing Zubair and Amara’s Pakistani Wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony that was filled with emotions and joy. The wedding took place at the Mirage Banquet Hall on 27th December 2015. It marked the last wedding that I did that year and what a glorious wedding it was.

Check out Zubair & Amara Engagement Session Right here that I photographed earlier in the fall.

Wedding Slideshow

Our weddings are usually completed with a viewing session with the couple where we share the edited photos in the form of a slideshow. This is the slideshow right here!

https://vimeo.com/158860534

Here are some other snippets fro the rest of the day:

Bride & Groom Getting Ready

This is where I and my second photographer started working with Zubair and Amara to capture some of the pre-ceremony photos. You can see as Zubair gets ready by ensuring that he looks strong and elegant for his bride while Amara goes through the process of Hair & Makeup to ensure she looks her best (which she absolutely did!). This couple bedazzled the crowd like no other.

You can also see some shenanigans going on with a console as the groomsmen and the groom partake in a “friendly” match. On the other hand, the bride and her sisters share an emotional moment as they put on the bridal “dupatta”.

Formals | Hotel Fairmont McDonal

Following the preparation Zubair and Amara braved the cold and went out for some wintery photos followed by some formal at the Hotel Fairmont McDonal, Edmonton, AB. This gave me the opportunity to photography this extremely photogenic couple in some classic romantic scenarios. You can see in the photo just below to the right that Zubair’s clothing got stuck in Amara’s Dupata and there was this brief shared moment that was timeless.

I love the candid photo right below the single shot of Amara where we can see her smiling through a staircase railing.

Ceremony: Mirage Banquet Hall

This is where we got to the ceremony venue where I got a chance to photograph Zubair as he entered. I love the photograph of him and his mother where they share this beautiful hug.

Cake Cutting | The Leaning Cake

I know this is a gorgeous cake and make it all of you hungry to look at it but this is also a great memory of the wedding! 10 years down the road when Amara & Zubair look at this photo they will remember their cake as the “Leaning Cake Of Pisa”. But regardless it was a beautiful and delicious cake!

Ring Exchange | Snowy Lights!

This is where the bride and groom exchanged their rings and I found this wonderful snowy tree in the venue to photograph the rings against! Woho.. Look at the pretty shiny rings there..

Fun & Games

This was hands down the second best part of the day (first one coming up soon!). This is where Zubair & Amara were quizzed about their favorite actors, sportsman and man did they know each other well. It was hilarious to watch as the crowd cheered each of them on! You can see the genuine laughter on their faces throughout the photos!

Dancing | Bhangra Much?

Now it wouldn’t be your best friend if he didn’t prepare a dance number for your wedding would he? Well this couple got an awesome welcome to their married life by the group of their friends with a wonderful dance performance. Best Part of the Day | Jota Chupai

Remember I told you about the best part of the day? Well, this was it. This is where the bridesmaid (and brides sister) hid the show of the groom and held it hostage for a ransom. There were a lot of negotiations to get the important piece of clothing back but it wasn’t without its casualties (Zubair’s Pocket being one!). You can also see one of the wedding party members hiding a spray of those strings that were then later used to reduce the bid. As you can see the shoe itself did not survive the colorful attack.

This was the end of the beautiful day where Amara left with Zubair for her new home and a new family was born. Hopefully I’ll get to see this couple in the future when they have their first baby 😉

Bridal Session for the Banners in Edmonton, AB

Emma and Kent Banner – Reliving the dream day | Bridal Session Edmonton

Emma and Kent met in England approximately 13 years ago and knew they were destined together. Having traversed a journey together that spans across 9 years and the Atlantic ocean, they live currently in Edmonton, Canada. Emma currently is a photographer herself while Kent works for the Edmonton Polic Force. They are quite a badass couple in actions. They met on the police force in England. After being married for almost 6 years, Emma’s wedding dress didn’t see much use. Therefore, when I suggested that we organize a bridal session shoot, she leapt at that chance. Being the supportive husband, Kent also got on board with the idea of reliving the dream of their wedding. It was a tad colder than it was on their wedding day (Edmonton weather!!).

https://vimeo.com/155225882

Emma and Kent’s New Home in Edmonton, AB

Emma and Kent Banner had decided to purchase an acreage on the outskirts of Edmonton is on top of some beautiful rolling hills! When we were discussing where the shoot should be done, our idea was to have some beautiful sunsets in the photos. We discussed a number of locations, all remote and pretty but slightly restricted. This is when Emma suggested we go to the couple’s new acreage that was still under construction. I thought this was a splendid idea once Emma showed me a photo of the average. I couldn’t have asked for a better location! Here is a quick shot of the location:

The Cold Stung but the Bridal Photos were Hot!

No quite literally, I had to use Hot Hands hand warmers in my pocket to keep my fingers from freezing off. I have no idea how Emma braved that cold -20 weather and posed for those photos. On the other hand, Kent and Emma had a lot of hot romance going which I felt kept them fairly warm! It also allowed me to create some amazingly cute photos! Here is a slideshow of some of those photos! As an Edmonton Wedding Photographer, these photos bring me so much pride!

At one point in the shoot, we were so frozen that even my camera stopped working and I had to warm it up in the car to get it working again haha!

A cold but sunny day in Edmonton, Alberta

Catherine & Damien’s Engagement Session In Edmonton, Rundle Park and their slideshow!

https://vimeo.com/153739516

I would be lying if I said that it was not cold on the day that I photographed this couple (but it was warm because of their love :P). We met at the Rundle Park in Edmonton, Alberta to take these photos for them. They were accompanied by Catherine’s son who assisted me with some of the shots. Thanks for that!

Catherine and Damien met me after reading my post on Facebook where I was looking for the couple to photograph for their engagement. After they told me their story, I knew I would be able to see a huge amount of love in their photos which I did as evidenced below. I am very excited to share these photos with the couple as they were nothing short of lovely to work with!

Their Story goes something like this:

Both Damien and Catherine like bikes! (Yay! I like bikes too, sadly I have no experience riding one). They met through a mutual friend and instantly hit it off! Damien currently serves with the army and takes pride in his work (and so does Catherine!).

Catherine & Damien’s Engagement Gallery

Catherine and Damien’s photos from their engagement session will be available at the following gallery for the next 30 days. From the online gallery, you are to able to select your favourite photos, order any prints or albums. You will require a password from Mark and Andrea to access the gallery below:
