Kristina & Phil- June 20 2009

Kristina and Phil were married at the St. Albert Parish followed by a reception at the St. Albert Inn. The day went went by in a blink of an eye as this couple was sooo busy having fun. They brought along a great Bridal Party to share in their day and everyone had more then a few laughs...and a *few* cries come the reception. Kristina is very talented: she just recently graduated Dental School from UofA and was the Panda's Assistant Captain as the hockey team captured 4 out 5 National titles. Very impressive :) But as the "shoe game" showed the verdict is still out on who is a better hockey player!


Thanks for a GREAT day. I had so many good laughs :)

Cheers,
Kelsy

Sometimes, even though you scout locations just days before a wedding, construction can change our plans...that day we were surprised to encounter a lovely dirt pile to get across. No problem, just hike it!

The aftermath of the dirt pile on Kristina's pedi. Oh well, they were totally up for it...especially when they saw what was on the other side of the dirt pile....

This shot, among many others, was what I wanted to get...makes a little dirt seem like a very small obstacle!

These guys are just pure class! :) :) :)

Only slightly scary to go into abandoned farm buildings...but again, it's always worth it!

Bunch of hottie Groomsmen... yeah, I just said that!

Lovely Bridesmaids that worked it!

Nicole & Richard- July 4 2009

Nicole and Richard were married at the beautiful Lily Lake Resort just north of Edmonton. It is a unique complex with lots of cabins, camping and activities for all the guests. I thought it was a great way to have a wedding with everyone staying for the weekend enjoying family and friend's company. The ceremony was on the patio overlooking the grounds. I just loved watching Nicole through the ceremony and throughout the day. She commits to every emotion and feeling as she is experiencing it, laughing with her whole body or crying without holding back. It is wonderful to see people love life and embrace their emotions. We photographed the portraits around the grounds as Nicole & Rich rode a horse drawn carriage. Perfect. The evening was topped off by a hilarious reception complete with a buffet that included every type of meat known to mankind and flaming baked Alaska. Yum!


Thanks for having me as small part of your day.


Hugs,

Alana & Dave- Esession

Alana and Dave are getting married this September and we were able to meet up this week to photograph their engagement session. We literally had parked when it started raining...lightly at first and we all thought, no problem! But, within 10 minutes it was a full-out downpour. Great for the Edmonton drought but sad for our session :( However, we hung out in the rain and had some fun feeling like kids playing in the rain. We squeezed some more images in before finally retreating (aka running through the mud) back to Dave's truck. Good times.

Thanks for getting a little soaked with me!

See you soon,
Kelsy

Anne & Jason- esession

Anne and Jason are getting married this August and I'm lucky enough to be their photographer for the day. We spent a evening together in SW Edmonton getting to know each other and "hanging out" in a cow pasture. I found out that Jason has one of my dream jobs: he works for my beloved Edmonton Oilers :)


It ended up being the perfect evening for an engagement session. June nights are just so lovely and you both were so fun to photograph. Because you had to wait long for your blog posting....it is extra long... so enjoy!

Wedding Day is nearly here...see you both soon!

Jackie & Jordan- June 27 2009

Jackie and Jordan were married on the beach at Pigeon Lake this past weekend. It was a beautiful ceremony overlooking the lake with all of their closest family and friends their to support them. We utilized the water front and the foresty areas surrounding the lake for some rural style portraits. The groomsmen were all very impressed with my ability to 'take down' any trees that were in my shots and I was impressed with the BP hiking through the dense bush for the perfect image. How fun! The day wrapped up with a reception at the local community centre where fun was had by all. Thanks for including me in your plans, I can't wait to show you the rest of the images!

Cheers,

Fun Family Session!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Arlene & Ron along with their adorable little boys, Arron & Noah. We through rocks in the lake, blew bubbles and played in the playground. Pretty fun afternoon in my books!


Here's a quick teaser...

Enjoy :)
