Sarah & Aaron- Urban Esession

Sarah & Aaron are tying the knot this September here in Edmonton. I enjoyed meeting them downtown and getting to know them a little bit better. Aaron made me laugh a lot and made Sarah laugh even more by knowing all the quirky tricks. They were funny and cute but also had a great connection that you could sense immediately. Sarah & Aaron, you were super fun to hang out with and I can't wait to see the shenanigans that go down at your fall wedding.

Thanks for braving the east side with me...I wouldn't have done it alone.

Cheers,
Kelsy

Rachelle & Rene - June 14 2008

Rachelle and Rene were married this weekend in St. Paul, Alberta. I thoroughly loved the drive North... beautiful scenery to remind me how wonderful our world is. The wedding day itself was extra lucky since it rained from the moment we stepped outside to the moment we went into the reception. Instead of pouting or getting upset, this awesome couple (and Bridal party) grabbed some umbrellas and put on their rain boots. What a bunch of troopers! I have never been so pleased to spend a Saturday getting drenched.



Top 5 Wedding memories:
1. Black rubber boots, umbrellas and bug spray :)
2. Getting dumped with a litre of water off the awning of the RV. I have never laughed harder.
3. Rene being a super model. Not sure where he picked up those poses, but he made me laugh!
4. Mmmmm, Dinner. The best perogies and cabbage rolls I've had in a loooong time.
5. Save a horse, Ride a Cowboy- The 3rd dance of the night was BP hip-hop-country routine. Just fantastic!

Thank you for you trust in me and for the opportunity to capture your breathtaking connection.

Have fun in the Caribbean!

Lots of Love,
Kelsy

Lindsey & Jordan- Engagement Session

Last night I called Lindsey and Jordan to rebook their Esession because of the downpour out my south side window. When I asked Jordan what day he wanted to re-scedule for he said "tonight"..... soooooo to make a long story short we decided to shoot in the downtown and hope for the best!

We met in a parking lot and I had to get a shot of the looming clouds... this isn't crazy photoshopped- yes it was that dark! Too bad I couldn't get a lighting blot or two in the shot! At this point I'm wondering what I signed up for....

The heavens opened and we ran for cover. Notice the small amount of cover for Lindsey and Jordan...the rain was falling all around them (which included me)


So after trying to hide from the thunderstorm, we decided to embrace it. Yes, they were drenched in seconds & no, they didn't care at all.

So after we were all soaked, we ended up having some really good laughs!

Read into the above that what you may...after seeing how Jordan teased Lindsey all night I think she wonders what she is getting herself into! lol. Just kidding, they are a great pair!


The rain left a refreshing sense of beauty to an otherwise simple space.

And of course a lovely reflection into the 3 inches of rain we received in less the 30minutes. Our timing couldn't have been worse! It started to clear up and by then we were soaked! Too funny.

Thanks for sharing the rain with me, quite a fun experience to say the least!

Cheers,

Nicole & Richard- Esession

Nicole and Richard were a blast to photograph last night. We shot around an old barn that they drive by everyday on their way to work. I couldn't help but laugh as they high fived each other in between each pose - way to give each other positive reinforcement! They made me smile with their beautiful connection and made me laugh for their fantastic sense of humour. Their wedding at Lily Lake is a year away, so it's going to long wait for me cause I'm excited already :)

Congrats on the new house guys! High-five to that!

This Fabulous Past Week...

I had the opportunity to learn from the lovely people at Red Leaf Studios in Regina, SK during a 3 day workshop. They are such warm & inviting people and they have a real passion for improving our industry. Throughout the week we had the opportunity to photograph beautiful models and the following images are from a session in the Avonlea badlands. It was surely a fantastic experience to learn from some of Canada's finest and I want to thank them for opening up my mind to new ideas. Amy & Richard, I wish you both many more delicious cupcakes, lots of time to snuggle with your puppies, and loads of personal & professional successes !



Hugs,
Kelsy

Amy & Warren- May 24 2008

Amy and Warren were married in a intimate ceremong at the Union Bank Inn on Saturday. Amy's just so bubbly, charming & cute and Warren is cool, calm and genuine...together they are a perfect pair. I had a lot of fun walking about with your Bridal Party downtown and meeting lots of characters on our travels. Perhaps one of the highlights was the serenade by the passing biker. Just Fantastic! Thanks for having me along for your amazing day, I loved every minute of it.



Enjoy the warm sandy beaches of Hawaii , you lucky ducks :)


Be Blessed,
Kelsy

Here is a very small sampling of the images we produced, hope you enjoy!
