Lisa Marie Couture – Mistress of the Storm

Lisa Marie Couture – Mistress of the Storm – Edmonton Portrait Photographer

“Mistress of the Storm” comes from the book by Melanie Walsh. It goes over the journey of a boat and its crew through a storm as the name implies. That gave me the inspiration to create this portrait concept.

There is nothing quite like taking an environmental portrait with an excellent team working with you. This was such an opportunity. Wizard lake provided us with the perfect blend of water and storm to create this amazing imagery. Environmental portraits represent some of the most challenging portraits that can be achieved as they are meant as a mix of both the subject and the environment in a complex manner that is not only complementary but almost symbiotic.

I collaborated with Lisa Marie couture to product this concept that I call “Mistress of the Storm”. Lisa Marie is a dress designer who makes these fabulous dresses for her clients (Brides).

In order to create this images Yara Sayegh assisted me! She helped us get setup for the shoot and then followed up with providing logistic support by making sure that my equipment didn’t blow away due to the severe storm prevalent at that time. For that I am grateful!

One of the funniest(and cute) thing that happened during the shoot was the fact that Jane was extremely cold and her friend and her Husband (Oleg) decided to make a human sandwich to warm her up! One of the photos is shown below of “the human sandwich”.

Reception Slideshow

None of our weddings would be complete if we did not do a same day wedding slideshow for our clients. This slideshow is made from the images taken during the ceremony and formals and presented on the day of the Wedding to the couple during the reception. It allows the beautiful couple, family and friends to enjoy some of the best photographs in a classic black and white theme while the photos are getting edited.

Sneak Peaks from Gilani Wedding at Renaissance Hotel, Edmonton, Alberta

Sneak Peaks from Gilani Wedding Renaissance Hotel, Edmonton

Pakistani weddings are no small fare, they are long joyful celebrations of the merging of the lives of two individuals into a new family unit. They usually consist of three days of celebrations:

  1. Mehndi: Also known as the henna ceremony where the bride has the henna put on her hands.
  2. Baraat: The main event of the three-day wedding. This is where the bride joins the groom with her new family.
  3. Waleema: The third day of celebrations where the bride and groom join their guests as a new family!

On July 20th Shahmeran and Tooba took one of the largest step forwards into their lives by marrying each other. This cute couple met at the University of Alberta while MCing together for an event for the Pakistani Students’ Association. Once Shahmeran saw Tooba going about giving her instructions about the event in her authoritative way, there was no stopping Shahmeran from falling head over heels in love with this girl. And that is where all the trouble started and led to this family being born! They are two of my best friends and it was a pleasure to be a part of their big day!

These are some sneak peaks from their three-day wedding celebrations with loud music and great food! Share them with your loved ones and let me know what you think !

Here is a link to the engagement session for this couple that we did a couple of months ago! Shahmeran Tooba Engagement Session

Ernst Wedding Sneak Peaks – Edmonton wedding Photographers

Ernst Wedding Sneak Peaks > Edmonton Wedding Photographers

Thomas and Agnes got married yesterday! Now this may seem like an unfamiliar name to you but once you read through this blog you will realize how touching their story is!

This couple met on a playing field during a soccer game and saying love at first sight would be a bit of an understatement. They bot skirted around the idea of dating and eventually ended up living together. To take the next step they decided it was time to start a family of their own. And thus I present to you Mr and Mrs. Ernst! Thomas and Agnes were a particularly cute couple that we had a chance to photograph! The way they looked at each other and the way they held each other was beyond adorable!

If love had a smell, let me tell you that the place would have had been aromatic with Thomas and Agnes’s love!

Have a look at these photos and share them with your loved ones if you find them as gorgeous as we did!

Rita and Darlene’s Engagement Session at William Hawerlak Park, Edmonton, Ab

Rita and Darlene’s Engagement Session at William Hawerlak Park, Edmonton, AB

So let me get this out of the way: this couple is quite something! They were onboard with the idea of a vintage themed picnic styled engagement session. How many times do you even get to see that?

During our initial consultation, we decided we wanted to do the engagement session at the William Hawerlak Park near the river valley in Edmonton. When I suggested to Rita & Darlene that we do a themed session they were totally on board with it! I am so glad we had the chance to photograph this unique couple in such a unique fashion!

To complete the aura, Rita & Darlene actually brought a picnic basket, a wine bottle (although we didn’t drink since that would be illegal in public :p), and one of her favorite books to the session. I thought the best part was the shared Coca Cola bottle that Rita & Darlene drank from! That was so cute to photograph.

Following the engagement session we set up a viewing session for the couple where they had a chance to view their engagement session photos and select the ones they wanted for their wall prints and albums.

Michael & Ying’s Wedding in Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton, AB

Michael & Ying’s Wedding Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton, AB

Trusting someone with your wedding photos is a big deal and I treat it as such. Michael & Ying hired me to do their wedding photos for their moderate ceremony in Muttart Conservatory. Being the middle February, it had a certain wintery charm to it that you will see in the photos. The wedding took place on 16th February 2015.

Wedding Slideshow:

None of our weddings would be complete without this signature slideshow that showcases some of the photos from the wedding day:

https://vimeo.com/162242203

The wedding ceremony took place at the Muttart Conservatory. It was a simple yet beautiful ceremony that involved a unique sand colored ceremony. The bride also wore a red wedding gown which is quite different from the conventional white. It looked absolutely gorgeous again the white snowy backdrop of a wintery Edmonton. Michael & Ying met at the Universtiy of Alberta while working together on a project. Their story did not end there and they ended up starting a family together.

We went down to the Legislature building to take the formal photos for the bride and groom. It was a majestic and beautiful backdrop for the photos. The architecture of the provincial building combined with the snowy landscape gave us the opportunity to create some amazing images. At one point we were almost frozen down to our toes but thankfully the bride and groom survived without any form of frostbite 😛
