Forever You

fall engagement session at legislature building, edmonton

“I knew right away that you
Were it for me
There were no reservations
Or second thoughts.
I saw you and in an instant
Knew in my bones,
My soul had known your
Soul lifetimes ago.”

-Beau Taplin

 

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

There is something so exquisite about being a photographer. You get to capture true emotion, true stories and see for yourself just how beautiful love can be. One look at these two and you’ll know they are the better halves of each other (seriously, the clothes match is adorable!).
David and Elsen met at church and knew they were it for one another. One year later, they were with us at the Alberta Legislature Building, telling their story the way they want to.
Elsen’s ring was a sparkling floral halo with a beautiful pear shaped stone in the center. It was special just like their story and positively regal!

The Engagement Session at the Alberta Legislature Building

We were lucky to have a gorgeous fall day. With beautiful fall colors in the background and the perfectly coordinated outfits, the pictures turned out stunning. The couple was really cute and their love was truly infectious! We were able to take advantage of a light drizzle that day and get some great scenic shots.
We love the added touch of the building’s magnificent architecture in the photos complimented by the couple’s enthusiasm!

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Elsen and David’s engagement photos and we wish them the best on their wedding day.

It was amazing to work with Elsen and David for their engagement session and we can’t be more excited to share their final images with them. You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

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:

  1. During the day, Kimberly and Marko were walking when they saw a bench near Concordia University (this will come into play later!).
  2. 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.
  3. Kimberly had no idea a ring was coming.
  4. 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!
  5. 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:

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!

Zahra Jawaad | Engagement Photography Slideshow

Date: August 22nd, 2015
Location: Shafi Bakery, Edmonton, AB, Canada

I was invited to photograph Zahra and Jawaad’s engagement ceremony. We had a chance to run away before it started and get some amazing photos done!

I recently called the couple in for the viewing session and I could not help but notice the cute chemistry going on in between them! It was awesome!

On the day of the engagement ceremony, we went out to this location near the black mud creek in Edmonton. We were actually in someone’s backyard for a while and didn’t realize until later… Well anyway we were not chased off by any dogs so all good :D.

On August 8th, 2015 Thomas and Agnes decided there was no time like today to tie the knot and become part of the same family. It was awesome. I was part of the wedding as usual being my awesome self taking photos. And holy crap did I get some beautiful photos of this couple and their big day! Like look at this slideshow and tell me it doesn’t make you cry when you see the bride tearing up during the vows? (If it doesn’t you are either heartless or your tear glands have dried up, Joking!)

Prior to this wedding I had a chat with my girlfriend where I had no idea where our relationship was going. After this wedding, I knew what I wanted. I know what you are thinking but it wasn’t that! I realized I loved photographing exactly these kinds of weddings: small, intimate, out in the nature, with a couple that has love so deep that every photo I took portrayed it in some form or another.

Wedding Slideshow

As humans we have a tendency to sit and watch things happen. Now I am not a videographer but I sure know how to put together a wicked slideshow. Here is one! for you to watch!

The Wedding slideshow shows some of the final images that will be provided to our clients in the form of printed products (Albums, Canvases etc). We also provide this beautiful slideshow to our clients to share with their loved ones!

Shahmeran and Tooba’s Engagement Photo shoot

Shahmeran and Tooba’s Engagement Photo shoot

You know when you see a couple that will be the same ten year’s from now, that is what I saw when I had the chance to do an engagement shoot with Shahmeran  and Tooba.

I initially met them as a friend during University. I had no idea there was something going on between these two beauties but well you know how these things happen? So right out of the blue they announce their engagement. It was unexpected but a pleasant surprise none the less.

They hired me after seeing some of my work to capture some of their moments together as memoirs. It was a cold night when we were able to finally schedule everyone in. We initially decided to go to a nearby park but since it had gotten dark by the time we finally left, we decided for another location. I am glad that we did since we are able to do a different kind of shoot altogether then.

This engagement photo shoot turned out amazing and as such we felt it was our diligent duty to share this with our fans.

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Brendan Proposes to Alyssa

If fairy tales come true, this was one of them.

This young fellow contacted me through my email and said to me “If you can take pictures today of a proposal outside, this contract is your’s”.
Now keep in mind this was at the start of an Edmonton Winter and it was coooold (-20 that day). I said yes I will do it, because I knew it would give me a chance to witness something wonderful and it did as you will see below!

So Brendan drives me down to the location and tells me that His to-be-fiance did not know about this and that I should stay hidden and take picture incognito, so I went into my ninja mode and hid in the trees pretending to take pictures of the nature out in the cold.

Allysa and Brendan

 

So here I waited like a ninja for a solid twenty minutes before the couple arrived.
They started walking towards a pretty bridge I had told Brendan to use as the location for the proposal.

Allysa and Brendan-2

And here I was sitting in the foliage snapping pictures….

They reached the bridge and started talking randomly… as couples do when they take walk together with their cute dog!

Allysa and Brendan-3

Then he says something funny, and she starts laughing… Oh Btw my toes were frozen by this time… and he is reaching for the ring as well!

Allysa and Brendan-4

 

And he gets on his knee and asks her to be with him…

Couple-6

 

And guess what? She said yes! Look at that adorable couple! Don’t you just melt in this wintery weather with happiness?

Couple-7

Couple-8

Then I got a chance to make them pose for me once Alyssa knew her SO had hired us to immortalize this beautiful moment!

 

We do our best among the Edmonton Wedding Photographers community.
