Gary & Laurie: September Wedding

Ohhh I’m having way too much fun going through these weddings from yester-year! Gary and Laurie were married in September of 2017 and it was so beautiful! The grass was still green, but the leaves were just starting to change. (Much better than their engagement shoot when it was something like -40 or -47 with the wind chill. (!!) ) One of these days I think I’ll have to do a feature piece on the couples who took photos under the most adverse weather systems, because I think that was a record low for me. I also think that I’m going to have to do a post on all of the little flower girls that stole the show, because I could have hired someone just to follow G & L’s little flower girl around all day, she was way too cute.

Gary and Laurie had such a fun reception- they brought each of their heritages together with food! They started things off with sushi as an appetizer, and then had perogies and sausages for their main meal. How fun!! (And delicious ;) ) I had such a great time at this wedding, I hope you’ll enjoy it too as you get a little glimpse of the day below.

Erik & Meagan: August Wedding

Once upon a time, in a summer long ago, the friendliest people you’ve ever met got hitched. Their names were Erik and Meagan, and they sure knew how to throw a fun party. I can think of about 5000 reasons why I loved E&M’s wedding, from the outdoor reception (and perfect weather!!), to the taco bar reception. But probably my most favourite thing is that every time you looked at them they were just beaming at each other- it was pretty infectious. I’m pretty sure I smiled the whole day too :D The icing on the cake is that these amazing people just welcomed a baby boy to their home!!! I can’t WAIT to meet him and snuggle him!! So here’s a few photos for y’all, I restrained myself so that you wouldn’t have to scroll all day long. Enjoy reliving the summer weather! Hope you’re all cozied up today with this blizzard!

Patrick and Rachel: May Wedding

Patrick and Rachel got married on May 5 last year and it was the first hot day of the year! It was over 30 degrees, and it seemed like after that it stayed hot right into October. I don't even remember having a spring or fall last year. I absolutely loved getting to be a part of this wedding- both families were so welcoming. Patrick and Rachel chose to do their photos first, and have the ceremony and reception back to back late in the afternoon. This gave us a chance to recreate an old photo from Holland when Patrick came knocking on the door to "collect" his bride- how fun!! I think I just need to point out the difference in getting ready photos- while the girls are primping away for hours, the guys are playing tackle football in the basement :D. Thank you again for letting me part of your day, Patrick and Rachel! It was such a great day. 

Jerrett & Jamie Wedding

Oh, hello there. Its been a long long time since I've been here. But actually this blog has become about two years outdated. For shame! There is no time like the present to catch up, especially if it means starting out by sharing all the weddings from the last two years! So here goes, the wonderful week of weddings!!! I will share a wedding a day until I'm all caught up and then I can go back to sharing some family and other photos. 

So whether you're a new-to-be bride looking to see a typical wedding day or glean ideas, or you want to reminisce about weddings gone past, or you just plain like weddings and photos, please grab some popcorn and enjoy some photos!

Today we are going to start the train with Jerrett and Jamie's wedding. Jerrett and Jamie got married in January of 2017 and I think it was one of the most beautiful winter days I've ever seen. It was so perfect. Since that time, J2 have been blessed with the most adorable twin girls!! If you Facebook stalk them, I'm sure you'll agree that their girls are the cutest little kids ever. Also, I'm sure raising little twin teethers is not easy so if any of you are ever in their neighbourhood drop off some cookies or something. Cookies make everything better. Here's a brief preview of their beautiful day! 

Chais & Hailey- September 17, 2016

When I first sat down with Hailey over coffee to talk about her upcoming wedding, it occurred to me- this girl is a lot like me! We are both Registered Nurses with a passion for photography. We are both Lethbridge girls that fell in love with Edmonton boys. And we both have a little bit of geek-ness going on- (Doctor Who, anyone?) I was so glad I was able to get to know Hailey better on her wedding day- Hailey is beautiful, kind, and has the biggest heart. Hailey and her family are welcoming and loving, and made me feel right at home on her wedding day, on a very, very windy day in September. Here is a sampling of the day- hopefully enough that you have a good taste of the whole wedding. Congratulations, Chais and Hailey, and thank you so much for having me! 

Peter & Juliana Wedding

I am so excited to share this wedding with you!! I loved every part of this wedding, from the getting ready and reveal-to-dad, right through to the bride and groom escaping the ceremony through a "tunnel of love"! Because of this I had a hard time narrowing things down for you all. Peter and Juliana got married back in August- Peter is a farmer, and Juliana is a teacher. This made things so special, as Juliana had a lot of her students at the ceremony and made them feel welcome with little treat bags- so cute! We were able to go to a private coulee for some photos after the ceremony and it was just perfect (albeit very hot and sunny- thanks for not complaining while you were melting, wedding party!). Here are a few of my favourites of the day! Thanks again for having me there for your beautiful day, Peter and Juliana!
