Fact: If I were a man, I would marry Jennifer in a second & consider myself blessed. Jennifer is seriously

one of the most gentle, kind hearted women I have ever met. I totally & completely adore her.

I don’t just adore her because we found that we had a common interest in the tv show, the bachelorette & would

email each other about the latest & greatest…..BUT I adore her because she just rocks who she is.

She seriously inspires me to be more kind, more gentle, more caring.

John is a lucky man. John is a fabulous man with a good kind heart. He is one of those people

who is who he is who he is. It doesnt matter who YOU are, John is the same guy to everyone.

I love that about him.

These two were married in the amazing catholic church in sherwood park, with photos in Fort Edmonton Park, with

their reception in the airplane hanger (it was BEYOND cool!) in Fort Edmonton park.

Jenn, you were so incredibly breathtaking!

I love these fun, fresh wedding party images. Even if I nearly got him by 100 cars to get them (wink).

Jennifer, this needs to grace your bedroom…on canvas…above Johns nighttable. Im just sayin’.

Flowers in the park did a lovely job (as always) on the floralsI adore the drama in both of these.

The tenderness in this photo is something that I adore!

These colors, all together, are just awesome.

I LOVE me some blingThe inside of the airplane hanger! unreal hey?! This was done up by the lovely Jenn from atmosphere weddings.The outside of the airplane hanger. LOVE unique locations!!

These two did their first dance to all of their guests standing around them with sparklers lit. It was unreal. SO amazing &

I totally think other couples should do it. It took my breath away.

I recently worked with them while photographing Chris & Marlene’s Devonian Gardens wedding &

 Hotel Macdonald Wedding Reception { here (ceremony) & here (getting ready) &  here (Reception)}.

The job that these ladies did was amazing. Not only did everything look fantastic, not only was every detail attended too;

but they made sure that any hiccup (if there even were any) was dealt with quickly & subtly. That is the beauty of a

experienced wedding planner. They make your day go perfect, they put out any fires so that YOU can enjoy your wedding day.

Let me tell you… Those kits on their hips are not just to look professional. They have EVERYTHING in them.

They also have roll along ones & I was able to look in one (with permission) and I’m pretty sure I saw a BLOW DRYER among

 a million other things. Amazing ladies.

A few fun things about the fabulous Jolyn (as taken from her website):

::My name is Jolyn – it’s pronounced joe-lynn – but you can call me Jo as my name is often mispronounced,

so don’t worry if you don’t get it right, I’ll still answer!

::I’m obsessed with triscuit crackers (the rosemary basil ones are my favorites).

::I love singing to the car radio, even if I don’t know the words

::I’m a detail junkie– whether it’s napkin folds, table numbers or lining up the placecards perfectly straight

::I don’t have a particular wedding style – I love all styles of weddings – I’m more particular that I help my couples find the perfect style for them!

::I’m a sucker for textures – I love luxurious fabrics, interesting textures and layering.

::I married my childhood best friend & we have 3 gorgeous children (and their names are hard to pronounce too!)

::I used to be a registered nurse, but now I prefer working with people’s happiest days!

::My favorite colors are purple & green, but that that’s just today, it will change tomorrow!

::And I think jellybeans are romantic – if you want to know why, you’ll have to ask me!

::I travel the world to learn more about wedding planning & design every year. I love that I’ve been privileged to learn

 and meet from many of my wedding design mentors through the years.

::I’m inspired by many things – by art in a museum, by a shadow cast by the sun, by a luxurious fabric,

by items in a thrift store, or by the way a song makes me feel.

Lets keep this simple. He looks at her with complete adoration, where if he could, he would tuck her in his back pocket
just so that he could spend all day with her.
She looks at him like he is the best thing alive. And he is.
Years ago, she looked at him across a room & knew that he was an amazing man.
To say that their love is amazing is cliche, but it is.
It’s amazing.

Raelyn & Matt are planning a lovely romantic fall wedding with their ceremony being held at the stunning  St Joseph’s Basilica downtown.

Wedding Photographs at St. Josephs’ are always fabulous! Their evening of wedding celebration will be held at the highly sought after Mayfield Inn & Suites.

Hello my dear friends!
This weekend rocked my little blue socks off!
I got to spend the entire Saturday with an amazing couple- Amber and Shawn!
They had their wedding at the Hotel Macdonald!! Oh how I love it there!
Everytime I walk through the rotating doors I take a moment and just stand in awe!!

I purposefully wore my diamond earrings. ok, and a bracelet…
and I may have pretended it was my home when I walked through the doors.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.

The rooms at Hotel Macdonald, where brides get ready have such HUGE GORGEOUS windows, which allow
beautiful light to shine through… creating breathtaking pictures.

3 things I know for sure…

* I adored… no, loved… no, CRAVED her birdcage veil and her feathered headpiece. It was so unique and gorgeous!!
* Shawn and Amber toughed out the cold/snowy day! They are such troopers!
* Amber was a bride after my own heart, she was all about the details
She had the most beautiful vintage necklace that my eyes have ever beheld.

Thank you for letting me be apart of your beautiful wedding.

the good word on to our fabulous brides. Planning a wedding can be daunting. daunting. tears can & will be shed.

I hope that these ‘reviews’ will give you a little glimmer of light to follow as you forge ahead with creating the wedding

of your dreams.

I remember when my sister Krystal was planning her wedding…she had always had her little heart set on a classy & popular

Edmonton reception location. We made an appointment & met with the gentlemen in charge of weddings. He could not have been

ruder. I’m serious. We were seriously surprised to be treated this way. Our questions were answered with a condescending attitude

& sarcasm. We were made to feel like a huge inconvenience. Needless to say, we booked her spectacular reception….elsewhere.

As such, it is highly unlikely that I would ever recommend that reception location to my brides, for fear that they would be

treated in the same terrible manner.

HOWEVER, there are so many wonderful places in Edmonton to hold a classy wedding reception and we loved the Edmonton Oasis

Conference center. This beauty features a stunning marble foyer & gathering area with vaulted ceilings. Not to mention the

1300 gallon super tall indoor fish aquarium. Awesome right?  First impressions are everything  and this place brings it.

The Oasis’s (tounge twister) ballroom is spectacular…it even has a balcony (which is just lovely for us photographers)! When

it is time to play the slideshow for guests, dual 12′ projections screens come out of the wall to the delight & enjoyment of all. Everyone

can easily see your show! (and at the end, the zip back into their hiding spot)

There is a lovely courtyard in the back for greeting your guests &  a few quick photos.

Must importantly, when you meet with Anne (780.454.9207),  you will fall in love with her warmth,

her sincerity and you will know that this gal call pull off the wedding of your dreams.

We are in such a unique position to provide awesome information to our brides. Going to a ton of weddings every year, we have first hand experience with Caterers, Reception Venues, Videographers….etc. To help make the wedding planning process easier for our lovely couples we thought that we will feature locations that have impressed us on our blog. The Royal Mayfair Golf Club, located in Edmonton is an amazing venue for an Edmonton Wedding Reception. The food is first class, the atmosphere is very Fancy & high end. The view, INCREDIBLE! The room has 3 entire walls in JUST WINDOWS, where you have the most lovely view onto the golf course. When guest walk into your Edmonton Wedding Reception, their breath is taken away. It is that stunning! We highly recommend the Royal Mayfair Golf Club for your Elegant Edmonton Wedding Reception! (consider doing some wedding photos there as well! Its stunning!)

The Royal Mayfair Golf Club is situated in Edmonton’s river valley, on the south-west side of Groat Road Bridge. The club is located on the northern perimeter of Hawrelak Park, and across Groat Road South from Emily Murphy Park.

I had the absolute privilege of shooting this beautiful couples Engagement (this past July) and their wedding (this September)!

They were game to do anything-
and I mean anything…
From dirty back alleys (that were so dodgy) in Edmonton… to having to deal with the  Edmonton police (oh, dear!)…
I dont think I have ever laughed so much shooting a wedding- I mean, tears came to my eyes from laughing so much! They were really a Hoot to be with!

So eventful.
and So Memorable.

They had their reception at the Hotel Macdonald! My Oh My! I Love shooting at the Hotel Macdonald!!  It automatically provides elegance and beauty to pictures.

A bride puts so much time and effort into planning a wedding- and having the reception and photos done at the Hotel Macdonald is the cherry on top!

There is nothing like it.

I give huge thumbs up to those who want/have their wedding at Hotel Macdonald!!
