    A lifetime of laughter.

    Could this be one of the best wedding themes ever?  It’s a statement and aspiration that perfectly embodies who Caroline + Chris are as a couple.  Their beautiful smiles swept us away while we enjoyed Montana’s great outdoors for their engagement photos.  We enjoyed a culinary tour with them, including celebrating Chris’ birthday (shhhh … he told Caroline he was a year older than her when they first met so she’d feel better)  with the Maid of Honor, Melissa Giroux and Bridesmaid Allison Hart and their significant others.  Food is a passion they both share and we enjoyed buffalo burgers at a little corner shop (if you’re traveling through Montana it’s a MUST, but get there before 2pm or your taste buds will never forgive you) and jerky at the shop next door.  We learned that Caroline likes to gamble when it comes to her food – if you bet her to eat something, she will!  That includes a stale peanut found in someone’s cubicle.  On the bright side, she now has $20 towards her wedding costs!

    Embodying their love of playing Catchphrase with friends while at Chris’ uncle’s cabin, we went to Flathead lake where Caroline and Chris danced through the fields and picked flowers.  To end the day, fresh cherries as the sun set over the cherry orchard.  Bliss.  Tastebuds concur.

    Caroline + Chris, we had such fun with you two.  You’re happiness is infectious and your smiles absolutely light up your surroundings.  We’ll see you in August, maybe we’ll bring the Sing Song edition of Catchphrase for the reception 😉

    Food buddies forever!

  • Helena + Yun :: Love Gives You Wings (Edmonton, AB) Part II of III

    Edmonton Wedding Photography

    See that dimple?  Helena loves Yun’s dimples.  We loved capturing their first moments as man and wife in these creative images.  Their smiles lit up every frame and best of all, they had fun with everything.  Their goofy, fun loving personalities were the stars of the creative shots.  Downtown Edmonton turned into a playground of landmark buildings, tastes of colour and shimmering reflections – all paling in comparison to Helena & Yun’s love story.

    Sorry we couldn’t deliver any birds for the creative shots Helena, we know how much you loved feeding the geese during your engagement shoot 😉

    Part III captures the laughs, the tears and the joy shared by family & friends.

  • Helena + Yun :: Rise & Shine (Edmonton, AB) Part I of III

    At 4.30am the sun had barely woken, but Helena had.  Hair and make up required an early start, even for the prettiest girl in the class (her bridesmaids made this remark during their reception speech).

    Helena’s parents’ house was abuzz with activity.  In the kitchen her parents were cooking up a feast of chinese food for the guests that would be arriving.  The first to arrive, at 6:30am, were Helena’s bridesmaids; Jen, Joni and Jess.  The four of them have been friends since kindergarden.

    Yun and his groomsmen, Alfred, Kristian and Jeff, enjoyed a buffet of dim sum and Chinese pastries at his parents home while goofing off.  No 4.30am start for Yun, it took him 15 minutes to get ready, including helping his groomsmen with their ties.

    We had a tip that the door games would be memorable when we shot Helena + Yun’s engagement shoot back in October.

    Kudos to the bridesmaids on a fantastic delivery – the door games were a blast!  Q & A on his bride-to-be, and every wrong answer had a price to pay.  Kristian got a peck on the cheek when Yun didn’t know Helena’s first car was a Corolla. All of the guys took part in the can can, Macarena and lunges when other questions were answered wrong.  The girls caught everything on film so Helena could relive Yun’s trials.

    Edmonton Wedding PhotographersEdmonton Wedding PhotographyEdmonton Wedding PhotographerEdmonton Wedding PhotographersAfter the tea ceremony, under 200 guests witnessed the happy couple exchange their vows.  Helena’s parents were so touched by the occasion; her dad took Yun’s hand in a gesture of fatherly approval before giving him Helena’s hand in marriage, her mum wiped away tears.

    The couple’s beautiful smiles were enchanting. Helena + Yun, we knew when we met you that we’d met a truly special couple.  From personal experience we too know the beauty of commuting from Calgary to Edmonton to do laundry at our parents’ over the weekend 😉

    Much love,
