    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!

  • Rhiannon + Paul :: Happily Ever After (Edmonton, AB)

    Edmonton Wedding Photographers

    Love is the answer
    At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?
    … I’ll tell you one thing, its always better when we’re together

    Better Together, Jack Johnson

    One week in Edmonton.  Rhiannon received her Bachelor of Commerce, Accounting, from the University of Alberta.  Paul received her hand in marriage.  Not too shabby!  Rhiannon + Paul’s wedding brought them back home from Hawaii, where Paul manages pumps for a local firm.

    When day to day life includes living near a beach in Hawaii, where hobbies are snorkeling, jet skiing and kayaking, not to mention hanging out with the dolphins in the early hours of the day, the wedding has to be a fairy tale really, doesn’t it?

    Rhiannon and Paul brought the beautiful weather of the South Pacific with them to Edmonton for their fairy tale wedding at the Hotel MacDonald.   The wedding car? A limo.  The reception?  Mayfair Golf & Country Club.  What really made this a fairy tale come true though was Rhiannon, looking like a Princess Bride, marrying her Prince Charming after a courtship that has taken them from Edmonton to Hawaii and back again.  Paul may be able to jump off high cliffs into the ocean without a blink, but the sight of his beautiful bride brought tears to his eyes.

    Edmonton’s hot dry heat was a bit of a change from the humidity of Hawaii, but everyone was incredible when it came to celebrating the bride & groom’s love of each other and the outdoors by shooting outside.  How incredible?  Ice creams all around (even for us!) after a day spent in the park.

    The Mayfair Golf & Country Club blossomed, the perfectly appointed buds providing beautiful detail and accents.  The wedding favours were adorable as well!

    We are incredibly honoured to be featured on Jennifer Bergman’s fantastic wedding blog this week.  We had a blast working with Jenn at the Jasper Park Lodge & were blown away by the event she put together.

    Jenn’s blog is a great source of information for weddings in Alberta.

  • Rachelle + Len :: Cenote (Cancun, Mexico) Part III of III

    Edmonton Wedding Photographer

    We love destination weddings!  The couples are relaxed and enjoying themselves because they’re on holiday and the guests create this fantastic intimate and loving group.  Best of all, we can do creatives the day after so the couple can simply enjoy time with their guests on their wedding day.  Len + Rachelle were absolute stars with this creative shoot – they stretched muscles they didn’t know they had (sorry about that!) and rocked the Mexican town.  If there was ever a doubt about you two being model material, that’s now unquestionable – high fives all around!

    Len + Rachelle love to travel and so we took them on a little day trip into the Mexican jungle to swim in an underground Cenote.  Fish swam around them in the crystal clear water and the light filtering in from above ground gives these natural sinkholes a gorgeous glow and made Len + Rachelle absolutely radiant.

    Edmonton Wedding PhotographerWe were told by local scuba divers that the Cenote was 30 meters deep, and to our surprise, Len chuckled that he does not know how to swim. =) Luckily, we brought many make-shift flotation devices with us to keep them from drinking too much water. Here’s Len and Rachelle looking like they are on an episode of Survivor treading through the underground caverns.Edmonton Wedding PhotographersEdmonton Wedding PhotographyThis is one of the most physically and mentally demanding shot we have ever pulled on our couples. No life-vests, frigid waters, underground current, can’t swim, while trying to look GQ with spiders crawling down Len’s arm from the tree roots. =) Behind the lens, we had to tread water while shooting with 10 pounds of unprotected camera equipment at the same time while triggering off-camera lighting to create the ambiance.

    From Cenote to Town, the bridal couple were greeted like stars as locals & tourists alike clapped, cheered and took photos with them!

Rachelle didn’t think Len was much of a hat person, and we think Len agrees. =)Edmonton Wedding PhotographerEdmonton Wedding PhotographyEdmonton Wedding PhotographersKeeping the heat on were street performers who paid tribute to the newly married couple with a fire show.Edmonton Wedding PhotographerTo cool off, Len + Rachelle played in the water at the end of the day.  Len, ever the loveable goofball and Rachelle, ever in love with her goofball, has a quick smile and laugh for all of his antics.Edmonton Wedding PhotographyEdmonton Wedding Photographer

    Len + Rachelle – this wedding was made all the more fabulous by your goofy & quirky personalities.  We loved getting to know you more and love that in you we have found personality twins!  We hope your marriage is filled with special moments like the ones we shared with you doing the creative shots.

    Happy travels from one globetrotting duo to another!
