Like every snow flake, every love story is unique!

“Thinking of you keeps me awake. Dreaming of you keeps me asleep. Being with you keeps me alive.” – Unknown

We have put together a few sneak peeks and some of our favorite photos from the couple’s winter wedding! Please check them out below 🙂

Their Story!

Here is a link to the couple’s engagement session:

Azhar and Maggie’s Fall Engagement Session at Walterdale Bridge

I have known Azhar since his University days and I am so grateful that I was able to join him and Maggie on their wedding day to photograph it! Their wedding was a winter wedding at the beautiful Matrix Hotel. Their ceremony took place at the majestic St. Josphat’s Cathedral in Edmonton. While I work on the rest of the photos, I have put together a few sneak peeks for the couple that you can see below!

Their wedding celebrates the new year and the new beggining for the couple as they got engaged about three years ago right on new years eve. The couple had waited patiently to celebrate the day with their friends and family due to the global pandemic. When they finally got to celebrate, they did it with style and a bang! The Catholic ceremony at the St. Josphat’s Cathedral followed by the reception at the Matrix Hotel made for the perfect wedding day!

You can sign up for their online gallery to be notified when it is released via the link at the bottom of this post! The online gallery will contain a lot more photos than the sneak peeks here!

Matt & Lauren’s Sunset Engagement Session

Do you like sunsets? Me too!

I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
Pablo Neruda

Their Story

Matt & Lauren are two very cool engineers. Their life line were running pretty parallel until they both decided to volunteer while they were in school. As they say, the rest is history. They are both avid snowboarders and share my love for B99!

Ps. there is a new season out for B99 for those of you who are reading this blog!

A Winter Sunset Engagement Session!

You know what is one really cool thing about being this high up north? Not the snow. Don’t say the snow. It is the sunsets here. They are gorgeous, beautiful and entirely romantic even in sub-zero temperatures. In fact, this is the time I recommend that most couples do their photos because you get the golden hour glow

For Lauren & Matt’s Engagement session, I suggested we go to this amazing lookout spot in Edmonton that would afford us the perfect view of the River Valley and the sunset. This is exactly what the two were looking for. They had even brought along their snowboarding gear so we took some hilarious photos of Lauren ‘riding’ Matt. Trust me, it looks less inappropriate but quite hilarious!

End of the World & Love!

engagement session at end fo the world, edmonton

Engagement Session at End Of The World Edmonton

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:

where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”
― Pablo Neruda

THE ENGAGEMENT RING AND HOW THEY MET

Hockey happens to be both a favorite past time for Canadians as well as a pathway for love! Neda and Nathan met playing hockey year and years ago! This adorable couple went for their first date to the River Valley and it was also the place where Nathan proposed. Obviously, it was the ideal choice for the engagmeent photos as well!

It was an extremely chilly day wtih temperatures around -20 but Neda and Nathan braved the elements and we were able to create some awesome artwork for the couple! We also went down to the End of the World which has one of the most unique view of the Sasketchwan River (albeit it was frozen when we went there).

It was amazing to work with Neda & Nathan for their engagement session! You can check out the rest of our work on our blog!

Lemay Name Family Session // Winter Family Session at Victoria Oval Park // Edmonton Family Photographer

The Lemay Winter Family Session at Victoria Oval Park, Edmonton

A Beautiful Winter Day with the Lemay for their Family Session in Edmonton

I had a chance to photograph the Lemay and their adorable fur baby for their family session. It was time to update their yearly portraits and they wanted to do a winter photoshoot! We choose Victoria Oval Park as the location for the family photos. It was ideal due to the snowcovered landscape and the attached ice rink.

We started with some portraits of the children with their dog and some group portraits of the family! While the weather was cold, it was just perfect for winter family photos. The white snowy backdrop made for great portraits. We also took some adorable photos of entire family skating together over the ice rink! Most families like getting their portraits done in the summer but winter portraits can be equally fun and beautiful!

As an Edmonton Family Photographer, my objective is to create timeless pieces of art for my clients and their family.

Elissa and Shawn’s engagement session at Fort Edmonton Park

Edmonton Wedding Photographers – Fort Edmonton Park – Elissa and Shawn’s Engagement Session

Because summer is overrated!
Winter Engagement photos can be amazing and you add a bridge to that mix…

Their Story

Having met in Grade School in the beautiful town of Chiluwa, British Columbia, Shawn and Elissa didn’t necessarily had the fairy tale love story. It did not start with Shawn falling for Elissa the moment he saw her. It started off slightly differently. Shawn and Elissa grew up in Chiluwa, they moved separately to Edmonton, Alberta.

Having ventured out of town looking for work, Shawn and Elissa met in Edmonton. They had lived their entire lives next to each other but had not spoken to each other. As fate would have it, Edmonton became the little spark that was needed to create this inferno of love. Elissa and Shawn started talking approximately 9 months ago and as they say, the rest was history. One night, Shawn decided it was time; he picked up a ring, rose petals and a bottle of champagne. Being avid ice skaters, they both went down to the local ice rink where Elissa had no idea that a very “rosy” surprise was waiting for her. Of course, she said “yes” which is why I was able to take these amazing photos of this adorable couple!

https://vimeo.com/153740349

Love stories don’t just come about, we are born along with ours. I know some might disagree but hey we get our opinions! I wouldn’t have said this unless I had seen the way Shawn treated Akira (Elissa’s daughter). Akira adored Shawn and Shawn showed her love befitting that of a worthy dad!

I am so excited to see this family become one in the future and I hope to be the one to capture their wedding day.

A little bit of background about the location that the couple chose for their engagement session: Fort Edmonton Park, Edmonton, AB.

Fort Edmonton Park forms one of the many historic sites that make Edmonton such a treasure in Alberta. It is full of rustic buildings and beautiful scenery. It permeates an aura of history that goes back to 1700s with its steam engine and wooden buildings. Right beside the park is a beautiful bridge that forms an easy crossing for joggers and walkers across the Saskatchewan River.

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!

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!

Amara & Zubair Engagement Session | Edmonton Wedding Photography

After having met in an engineering class, Zubair and Amara had no idea they would end up becoming more than just friends (Partners in Crime for Life!). To be fair, their mutual friends did have a part in creating this love story as well.

Well as they say the rest is history. These are some of the photos from their engagement session! Don’t they just look adorable together?

I will also be taking photos for this couple on their wedding and I am so excited to see them again!

52 Skillz with Stephen Robinson // Edmonton Portraits

I had a chance to work with Stephen Robinson who is the creator of the series called “52 Skillz”. It is the undertaking of an individual where Stephen decided he wanted to learn 52 Different Skillz across 52 weeks and boy has it been a journey. I met Stephen Robinson in eHub at the University of Alberta while he was working on some ideas for his new skill.

He is an extraordinary individual who taught me to challenge myself to learn something new everyday. In his quest to develop a new skill every week, he has been able to demonstrate the ability of humans to adapt and learn at an incredible pace.

His final project was to combine all of the 52 skillz he learnt during the year to make a huge Rube Goldberg Machine. I got a chance to see the machine in action and it was very impressive. Here is the video of the machine in action:

If you didn’t before, here is a chance to see the behind the scenes video from this awesome shoot: BTS – 52 Skillz

52 Skillz Behind the Scenes | Photography Skillz

52 Skillz BTS – Photography

Stephen Robinson is an awesome awesome individual who decided he wanted to learn 52 skills over 52 weeks. He started this project never really expecting the response he saw from it. He has so far been featured on CTV (Canadian National Television Chanel) as well as on other media channels. You just need to see the videos he makes to believe what he is capable of.

Having met him at eHub at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada I got inspired to learn new skills myself. He recently told me that he will be doing the final 52nd Skill soon which will draw an end to the first session of 52 skillz. In order to commemorate the awesome ideas he has had and the final 52nd Skill we decided to collaborate to setup a cool photoshoot. I got a chance to have a look at the last skill (its a secret so don’t ask me to divulge) and very honestly it is one of the best things I have seen so far!

Its ridiculous in its complexity and execution. Its beyond something I had envisioned for sure!

Check out the fun video we had a chance to make from our shoot on his friend’s Vegreville farm:

(PS why is Vegreville so cold!!)

We got to play with Smoke Grenade (colored) and let me tell you they are beyond awesome to play with!

I am so looking forward to other shoots with these babies!
