“Love’s heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams Driving back shadows over low’ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. ” — William Shakespeare
The Engagement Ring and How They Met
Elianna and Giovanni’s love story beings about two and a half years ago when Cupid shot them with his electronic bow and arrow. OKCupid was the app that brought these two lovebirds together. Later on in January 2017, on a memorable Friday, Giovanni proposed in a romantic and intimate way by adorning the house with twinkling candles and surprising Elianna. He gave her a beautiful infinity braided diamond ring to symbolize his own infinite commitment and everlasting love to her. The Di Lullos are a picture perfect romantic couple that love to take walks together or go ice skating. They also have an adorable Havanese dog named Leo to witness their love unfurl daily.
The Engagement Session at Edmonton’s Whitemud ravine park
The lovely couple’s engagement photography session took place by the river in the ravine of Whitemud park, one of Edmonton’s most scenic locations, especially in the springtime. There is truly no better time to capture love at its finest than during spring. Mother nature looked like she has put on her best and most regal outfit just to celebrate the betrothal of two of her children. And truly once more, there is no better place to celebrate Giovanni’s promise of eternal love to his beloved Elianna than outdoors amidst Rainbow Valley’s joyful foliage and peaceful greenery.
We took a walk on a great sunny day, and took some gorgeous pictures of the bride and groom to be. The huddling tree canopies mimicked the couples own loving hugs, while the sneaking sun rays heralded their bright future of married life. Our lens magically captured Elianna and Giovanni’s blossoming love on the trails of Rainbow Valley park; trails that reminded us much of the trails and journeys of life that willed that these two lovely people meet and fall in love. One of our favorite stills of them is a shot on one of the park’s bridges where a hugging Giovanni and Elianna look like they are about to cross over to the next phase of their life that we wish is full of wedded bliss and happiness.
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Elianna and Giovanni’s engagement photos and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET
Lauren & Patrick met 5.5 years ago via OkCupid! Their first date is the definition of an amazing first date. It started off with Dinner at Montana’s followed by bowling. They then went for a walk down to White Mud Park (which will become an epic location in their love story eventually!) and concluded the evening with a Star Wars Marathon! These two individuals enjoy music a lot and happen to have the coolest proposal I have ever heard of!
Being the songwriter and singer, Patrick decided to write Lauren a song. One evening the couple went for a drive down to White Mud Park. In the parking lot, Patrick asked Lauren if she could hear a song he had written. Patrick often requests this of Lauren so this was nothing unusual. He put on the song he had recorded on the car’s music player. As the song starts playing, the screen within the car flashes “Hey Lauren, for serious, will you marry me?”. She did not see it coming! She, of course, said yes. If nothing, the proposal itself deserved a yes!
Their ring has a cool story of its own. They went to the different jewelry stores to find the perfect engagement ring but nothing was right. Finally, Lauren’s dad mentioned that her grandpa still had her great-great grandma’s ring. This was the perfect ring and Lauren was the perfect person to inherit that family heirloom. The ring itself has an un-identified stone which is either an extremely precious stone or old whiskey bottle glass!
It was amazing to work with Lauren & Patrick 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!

A Winter Engagement Session at Alberta legislature building
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda
THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET
Jasmine & Joel met in high school 7 years ago! They are the definition of high school sweethearts. They started off as friends who often hung out together. One day, Joel found the courage to ask Jasmine out and she said yes! In these years these two adorable humans have come to share a love that is full of laughter and cute moments. I got to see this first hand!
Joel proposed to Jasmine on December 14th last year. This was Christmas come early for the adorable couple as they got engaged and made the announcement to their families! Joel and Jasmine sat on a bench together at the legislature building under the beautiful Christmas lights. This is when Joel asked Jasmine if she wanted to become his partner in crime for life! She said yes with happy tears in her eyes. This is why we choose the Legislature building as the location for their engagement session.
The Engagement Session at the Alberta Legislature Building
The Alberta Legislature Building is an iconic landmark that is known to every Edmontonian. During the summers it is often a location for families to hang out and enjoy the fountains. During the winter, it becomes a beautiful magical place that is decorated with tree lights and snow. The pretty lights give it the perfect Christmas spirit and that is exactly when and where Jasmine and Joel got engaged.
I photographed the couple on the grounds of the legislature building. It happened to be the only day we had ice rain so the whole area was extremely slippery! Thankfully no one fell but there were definitely some “oh shit” moments. This was Jasmine & Joel’s first experience with a professional photographer and I am so glad to have been a part of their engagement session. Following the engagement session they were kind enough to leave me a review:
“We had an amazing experience with box cube photography. Sharyar made our first experience with a professional enjoyable and comfortable. The viewing session was organized and well prepared with many examples.” – Jasmine & Joel
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Jasmine & Joel’s engagement session at the Alberta Legislature Building and I am really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.

Summer weddings are overrated. Winter weddings are the way to go! All the gorgeous snow and beautiful landscapes that accompany winter made this wedding the perfect winter wedding! Check out Vanessa & Andrew’s wedding below to see why you should have a winter wedding as well!
Vanessa & Drew Getting Ready
We started the beautiful day off with photographing the bride and groom as they got ready! Drew was accompanied by his dad and his groomsmen while Vanessa got ready with her bridesmaids and Drew’s mom. We got a chance to photograph a sweet moment where Drew’s mom kissed and hugged Vanessa as she was getting ready for the ceremony. We photographed little details for the bride and groom like the jewelry, the accessories, the shoes, the dress and a special pendant that held Vanessa’s mom’s photo.
Their Ceremony at Trinity Lutheran Church, Edmonton
Do you want to be married in a majestic church? Then this is the location for you! It has gorgeous stained galls windows and pews made of old wood! It was the perfect location for Vanessa & Andrew to say their vows and tie the knot! The ceremony was conducted by Pastor Ingrid Dorschel-kramer and was done in a wonderful and simple manner. It was sealed with an adorable kiss and an exit dance by the couple!
The Family Photos at Trinity Lutheran Church
The church had such a perfect lobby that we couldn’t help but photograph the couple’s family in the lobby! It was perfect with the afternoon sun streaming in through the tall glass windows!
The Creative Formals at St. Albert Grain Elevator Park, El Cortez & Downtown Edmonton
We went to three different locations with Vanessa & Andrew to create some cool and altogether different creative formals for the couple and the bridal party. Each of those locations gave us a unique opportunity to create some very different portraits. El Cortez was dark and dungeony meanwhile the Grain Elevator was very vintage and cool!
The Robinson’s Reception at Blue Meadows Hall, Edmonton
Vanessa & Andrew surprised their guests by bringing back the Harlem shake for their wedding! If you don’t know what I am talking about, just google Harlem shake! Their reception was at the Blue Meadows Hall in Edmonton. They had a really cool blue led backdrop that glowed behind their head table!
Cutting the beautiful cake
Nicole’s Cake did such a fantastic job of the cake for the couple! It looked absolutely gorgeous and tasted equally delicious!
First Dance!
The Robinsons began the festivities for the evening by starting their first dance to let’s Stay Together by Al Green. A true classic! They were then joined by Drew’s mother and Vanessa’s father for the mother-son and father-daughter dances.
The Robinson’s Wedding Day Slideshow
Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with Vanessa & Andrew’s wedding package. It was created from a selection of their best photos.

This cute couple reminds me of all the medical shows that I have ever watched!! You will soon understand why (PS Medical shows I have watched: Scrubs, Grey’s, House and more!). Courtney and Karl met while Courtney was in nursing school and Karl was in med school. They had mutual friends who definitely helped with the cause! They attended a show together in 2015 and as they say ‘the rest is history!’.
The proposal happened this year on July 8th when Karl, Courtney and Karl’s family went for a hike in Jasper! Karl had already spoken to Courtney’s parents but Courtney had no idea! Karl’s brother did not know either so he wanted to accompany the couple on their hike. Karl’s parents held him back since they were in on the plan! Courtney and Karl eventually found a secluded spot overlooking the mountains. Here, Karl turned on the Bluetooth speaker and played some of Courtney’s favorite music. He went down on one knee and said: “You are my best friend, will you be my forever best friend?”
Courtney said “No no no,”. She then cried and was in shock. Then she said yes!! So now they are getting married next year and Courtney is Karl’s forever best friend (that is so adorable!!!).
The engagement hair and makeup was done by Puneet Ramirez who did a fantastic job and made sure our photos look absolutely amazing!
The Engagement Session at Victoria Park, Edmonton
Courtney and Karl wanted fall engagement photos with a flair for nature and hues of autumn. I suggested several locations to them and they finally choose Victoria Park in Edmonton.
Victoria Park is a beautiful little area located right beside the river valley along the river valley road in Edmonton. It has an outdoor ice rink which we have in the past used for engagement photos as well! During the fall, it has gorgeous colors and beautiful tree canopies. It also has a wooden fence along one edge of the park that makes for an amazing location for photos. We started the engagement session at the Victoria Park right before sunset. We took some photos within the canopies as well as along the fences. At one point, we asked to borrow a fire pit from a couple for some of the photos :P. I do my best to keep the engagement sessions light-hearted and fun. This meant doing goofy and silly things like stethoscope pictures (reminiscent of Scrubs).
Eventually, we moved to the river valley road where we took some photos overlooking the gorgeous sunset and the river valley. We created some beautiful portraits of the couple there! We finally went down to the Three Boars Eatery which is where Karl & Courtney had had one of their first dates. I spoke to the management to see if we could do some photos there and they were so helpful and kind!

The Cutest Couples & The Best Sunset at Muttart Conservatory
The Engagement Ring and How They Met
Brianna & Kris are one of the cutest couples I have ever photographed. They are both nerdy and love start wars! They met at the Alliance Church in Spruce Grove in 2014. They would often hang out after choir and discuss things ranging from Harry Potter to Start Wars. Kris would often take Brianna’s son to rock climbing as well!
This cute couple had its first date at the Muttart Conservatory. Given their affinity for rock climbing, they climbed the Dove of Peace! Kris proposed to Brianna on January 28th, 2017. The bought the ring together and then went to the Van Oyster Bar for dinner. They had oysters the first time and followed that with a walk down Whyte Avenue! They eventually went down to their first date spot, the Muttart Conservatory, where Kris went down on one knee to propose. Somehow, the ring fell down in the snow and both Kris & Brianna had to go searching for it.
The only words Kris had said on his knees were: “I have an important question”
The immediate answer that followed was “Yes!”
Kris, being the amazing gentleman that he is, went to see Brianna’s parents first and got their permission. With their blessing, this couple got engaged and will be getting married really really soon!
The hair and makeup were done by the amazing Hamana of Hamana’s Artistry. She used a palette of beautiful colors that suited Brianna’s outfit and skin tones but also made her look very beautiful! Krist looked equally handsome in his jeans and plaid shirt!
The Engagement Session at Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton
Muttart conservatory is one of the most beautiful spots within the city. With its unique combinations of pyramids and scenic view of the city, it is the perfect spot for engagement photos. I love including places that are sentimental and important to my couples in the photos. In this case, this was the spot where the two love birds had their first date!
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Brianna & Kris’s engagement photos and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.

Warawa Engagement Session at Peace Hills Park // Engagement Photos
Their Story!
Samantha & Wyatt met on a running track! Being medical professionals and runners, they had a lot in common from the very beginning. Samantha and Wyatt also shared a running coach! Their running coach saw that they would make a great couple and got them in touch with each other. The rest as they say is history! I photographed the couple’s engagement session at Peace Hills Park, Wetaskiwin as this was where they had met the first time!
Samantha is a super-planner who likes planning things out in advance whereas Wyatt enjoys spontaneous happenings. These two love birds were travelling to France for a trip. Samantha anticipated that the proposal was going to happen in Paris since her mother had tipped her off(romantic right!!). Well it didn’t, instead Wyatt had a different idea. He planned the proposal so it would be a complete secret and come as a surprise. They were both visiting a castle and Wyatt went down on one knee and proposed. After the initial surprise, there was a resounding yes from her followed by lots of tears and cheers from other tourists in the castle!
The couple chose this location due to its emotional significance to them! The couple had originally met in the park the first time and had taken many a run together in this park as well. This meant that they were able to show me some of the cooler hidden spots within the park. This made for some excellent shots from their engagement session!
This park is located near the Montgomery Glen Golf Course in Wetaskiwin. Its a favorite for locals due to its numerous trails and beautiful mountain rest spots! We did the engagement session late in September which meant we were there for the perfect fall colors! The yellows and greens combined with the perfect autumn sunlight made for a gorgeous background for photos!
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Samantha & Wyatt’s engagement photos and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.

Edmonton Bridal Stylist – Featured Vendor – Tyrel Abbott Weddings
As part of our commitment to our clients and their wedding day, we often partner with other vendors to see if they would be a good fit for our clients. Those partnerships usually lead to great results and we are then able to refer those vendors to our clients, as we trust them. One such partnership was that with Tyrel Abbott who is a bridal stylist.
What is a bridal stylist or wedding day fashion stylist?
Wedding days are huge moments in the couple’s life and a bridal stylist allows them to plan those moments according to their sense of fashion and style. It includes helping you decide on the dress, jewelry and even the shoes you will wear on the wedding day. A bridal stylist will give you advice on a hairstyle that will work well for your look as well as the kind of makeup that would look amazing.
I had the pleasure of working with Tyrel Abbott who was a current fashion director for “Say Yes to the Dress Canada”. He is a Bridal stylist who has styled many brides head-to- toe for their wedding day.
Here is the interview with Tyrell Abbott:
How did you get started?
My career as a Bridal Stylist began when I was helping a friend who was shopping for a wedding dress. Unintentionally, I took over her appointment and the owner of the store noticed, she later reached out to me and offered me a job.
Tell me about your favorite wedding last season.
I worked with a bride last year that had overcome some big personal issues. Because of this she was having difficulties envisioning her body in a dress. She had heard about me from a friend of hers who I had dressed for her wedding. I loved that I could help her see that she was beautiful and worthy of having the best day. We shopped at several stores and through a few tears found her perfect dress. I love helping brides find that!
How far out should a bride pay a deposit to secure your services for her wedding day?
Weddings take time to plan. If you are seeking my services as a Bridal Stylist purely for shopping, I’d recommend booking two months ahead of when you plan to order your dress which is typically six to nine months before your wedding date. If you are looking for full-service freelance Wedding Planning, I’d recommend booking shortly after your engagement, when you are ready to start sorting out the specifics. Deposits are made within 2 weeks of booking me and the balance is due 10 days prior to the event or at the completion of finding your dress.
What is included when a couple books your services for their wedding?
It depends on what they need from me. I do everything from planning and coordinating, dressing the couple, finding vendors and hair services if required.
For full-service Wedding Planning, I offer unlimited phone and email consultations and a minimum of 10 hrs in person. If a bride has hired me just to find her a dress, I will do what it takes to find her the dress.
I will always tailor the package to the specific needs of the couple; I want everything about their wedding day to be better than what they imagined.
How do you help couples customize their wedding?
Once I understand their vision, I become the curator of their wedding day. I will take all of the ideas a couple might have and edit them into an event like no other. Most people have never planned a wedding and don’t know where to start, whereas, I have experience planning many, an eye for detail and long list of contacts that specialize in creating anything a bride or groom might wish for.
What is one interesting fact about your services?
One interesting fact about my services is that I styled brides on a national scale. As a Fashion Director on season two of W Network’s Say Yes to the Dress Canada, you can pull up past episodes and see me at work. So I have a great knowledge of trends and have worked with every type of bride.
What do you have planned for the future?
I have many weddings in my future! I would love to style brides internationally but we will have to wait and see.
How many people can you accommodate? (i.e bridal party makeup)
As a hairstylist I can accommodate almost any number. I have a second stylist that works with me and we work very well together.
What makes your services unique?
There are not a lot of people that have the hands-on experience that I do in so many aspects of a wedding. I understand the hairstyles, fashion, design and the logistics that need to all come together for a flawless event.
How long has this business been a part of the community?
I have been in the hair industry for over 15 years and weddings for 4 years.
Who would be the best person to contact if a couple wants to book your services?
Here are some behind the scenes shots of our shoot together:

Adam & Ekta’s Indian Wedding at Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton | Edmonton Indian Wedding Photographers
https://vimeo.com/181508434
A 3 day Indian / western fusion wedding!
You look at this couple’s smile and the only thought that pops into your head is: “You are the first and the last thing on my mind each and every day”. That is what I saw throughout the 3 day wedding of Adam & Ekta. Their beautiful wedding was a combination of a Hindu Traditional Ceremony and Western wedding. The traditional Hindu ceremony was a combination of beautiful traditions with deep meaning associated with each tradition. The western wedding on the other hand was a simple yet beautiful ceremony that was held with the couple’s friend and family witnessing their union into one family.
Bond’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.
Adam & Ekta’s Online Gallery – Sign Up
Adam & Ekta’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!
I photographed Adam & Ekta at the Muttart Conservatory for their engagement session a few weeks ago. You can read the story of this cute couple and see their engagement photo right here: Bond’s Engagement Session.
Day 1 – Mehndi
This is the first day we photographed the bride. The tradition is called Mehndi (Henna). During this tradition the bride is tattooed with beautiful designs on her hand and her feet with Henna ink. The other female members of the family also get some designs made on this day. It is often followed with food, music and celebrations.
Day 2 – Hindu Ceremony at the Hindu Society of Alberta, Edmonton
Bride Getting Ready
We photographed Ekta getting ready as she wore her beautiful Red Wedding dress and was then took her father’s blessings in the traditional hindu manner (ashirwad). Following that, Ekta’s mom fed her some sweet youghurt as part of another tradition when starting something new.
The Hindu Traditional Wedding ceremony was beautiful to photograph and had a lot of emotions tied to it. There was a focus on family values, respect and the idea of living together happily. It was a privilege to photograph such an intimate and beautiful moment in Ekta & Adam’s life!
Joota Chupai
One of the oldest traditions for Indian weddings is that of Jutta Chupai (Hiding the shoe). The bridesmaid hid the groom’s shoe who then had to pay a hefty amount to get it back from them. It was a joyous occasion and Adam did not put up much of struggle before the terms of the agreement were settled. Following the Jutta chupai, Mira (Ekta’s sister) and Adam had a moment of sibling love and it was adorable to photograph!
The Farewell (Vidayi)
This was by far one of the most emotional things I have photographed. After receiving blessings from all of the members of the Bride’s family, Ekta had to say good bye to her old house and family as she joined Adam in a new life. It was full of tears of joy and sadness. Joy at the start of a beautiful adventure and sadness for the departure from her family.
Day 3 – Western Wedding at the Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, AB
Groom and the Groomsmen Getting Ready
You know handsome groomsmen? Well I know some and they are right here in these photos. It was a very cool edition when Adam’s brother Dallas (the bestman) had a set of Japenese swords… Like wow…
Bride Getting Ready
These are some of the photographs from the bride getting ready. She looked absolutely stunning in that white dress! In the meantime a very beautiful maid of honor helped her get ready!
Ceremony at the Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, AB
The Western Wedding ceremony was held at the Royal Glenora Club. It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony. It had a rock ceremony as well where all the guests and loved ones wished happiness upon the lovely couple.
Creative Formal Portraits at The Legislature Building, Edmonton AB
Following the ceremony, we went out to the legislature grounds for some amazing portraits of this lovely couple!
I pride myself in my ability to create artwork for the couples I photograph and this couple made it very easy! They looked absolutely beautiful together at their wedding at Royal Glenora Club edmonton.
We were so fortunate to be a part Adam & Ekta’s wedding. It was an absolute honor to be a part of their day!

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
