    Memoirs :: Infused Studios’ Visual Journal

    Words by Maureen Young

    edmonton wedding photographersWhen Julie moved in, their weekends were spent shopping and turning the condo into a home and space that was uber comfortable and created together.  It seemed perfect when we heard how Jon had created a romantic space in the patio of their home to propose, and we loved that they used 3 camera types (Blackberry, point & shoot & SLR) to capture the setting!   For their engagement session, we wanted to take Julie + Jon to Banff but Rina was too ill & we rescheduled for a bit of hometown sightseeing and contrasting urban life with country pleasures.

    We started the day in downtown Edmonton where the blend of brick work, glass and green space was the perfect backdrop to show off their gorgeous finds from outlet shopping.

    Julie + Jon like to surprise one another with simple things; Jon will leave Julie little notes when he goes away on work and Julie will send him an email late at night if she knows he’s up early the next morning to go away on work so he has something nice to read first thing.  Jon enlisted the help of their mutual friend Billy, who they met through, to help him surprise Julie with the Tiffany sunglasses (spotted perched atop her head) she wanted.  Julie was definitely surprised… when she saw the  holiday snaps Billy posted on Facebook… including the sunglasses.  Oops!

Jon said how awesome it would be to have vanilla ice cream to go with them.  From personal experience, we also know that ice cream sandwiches also go perfectly with freshly picked raspberries ;).

    In an Infused Studios first (yes, we’re having a lot of firsts this year!) we opted for a human tripod to get the shot.  Rina perched on Anthony’s shoulders (hanging on for dear life while still getting over a cold & trying to avoid falling & breaking something! Well, mostly avoid breaking the camera…) to get a more aerial view.  Did we mention Julie + Jon are both very tall people?  And we hadn’t brought a ladder?

    Julie + Jon,we had an awesome time hanging out with you guys!  We can’t wait to shoot your wedding in this month & hope you guys have some sweet memories of raspberries (hope you found some vanilla ice cream to go with them Jon!).

    Love. You. Always.

    P.S. hope the bug bits weren’t too itchy!

  • Featured :: Wedding Obsession – Ken and Lisa (Picnic!)

    We are happy to be featured again by Melissa from Wedding Obsession.  This is the second part of Ken + Lisa’s Engagement Series featuring their favourite movies and TV show influences. Lisa is a big fan of Japanese love dramas and the lovey dovey feel of the great outdoors during sunset. This picnic series, complete with deliciously colorful cupcakes, reflects their softer side of romance. In contrast, the first part of Ken + Lisa’s Engagement Series is every boy’s fantasy, action packed with weapons, attitude and suspense.

    Much love,

    ~Anton + Rina

  • Helena + Yun :: Uncut, Uncensored, On Film (Edmonton, AB)

    We knew Helena + Yun had goofy, fun-loving personalities & we love them for it.  Their guests shared in hamming it up for the camera in an Infused Studios first.  *drumroll please*

    Uncut, uncensored to bring a smile to your day – outtakes from (say this in a loud, booming voice) The First Ever Infused Studios Photo Booth.

    L is for the way you look at me
    O is for the only one I see
    V is very, very extraordinary
    E is even more than anyone that you adore

    ~ L-O-V-E, Michael Buble

    There is something about the moment a bride looks at her goom and sees the emotion glistening in his eyes…. Helena was hoping that her groom, who never shows emotion, would be so moved that a tear would escape.  Now, Yun is reminded everyday that everyone seemed to shed a tear during the reception but him.

    The speeches were a trip down memory lane and highlighted how similiar Helena and Yun are in some ways; both are quite clumsy (albeit Helena just boston creamed a car, Yun rear-ended one….).  The MCs, Albert and Serina kept everyone laughing with help from the happy couples siblings, who recounted anecdotes much to guests’ amusement. Boys take note- if your girl says she likes a guy in a turtleneck and leather jacket, wear a turtleneck & leather jacket even if it’s the hottest day of the summer.  Yes, people will think you’re crazy, but more importantly, she says yes when you ask if she’ll spend the rest of her life with you.

    It was the loving tribute given by Helena + Yun to their families that had everyone reaching for a tissue.

    Helena + Yun – Thank You for taking great care of us on your wedding day.  It was fantastic to spend the day surrounded by the great people that are your family & friends.  We have definitely made new friends after this & have enjoyed getting to know you two over the last few months.  Thanks for trusting our vision and creativity.

    We are all clumsy people!

    With love,

    Ant and Rina
