    Deluxe Wedding Albums

    September 1, 2010

    Here is a little secret:

    Anytime Radelle and I drive together whether we are going to go shopping together, drive to a shoot, or a girls roadtrip,
    or for breakfast- there is one thing we always do.
    I am not sure how it even started. We were probably just trying to pass time on our drives together.
    Or maybe we genuinly thought we would be able to master it in one drive. fools.
    It has been many years and we still have not been able to master it. We try and try and try again, but to know avail.
    We both sing, and we like to think we have ‘ok’ voices BUT the minute we try to harmonize, oh dang. The dogs start barking. Rockwell (radelles son)
    in the backseat starts yelling “NO NO NO NO!”.

    We burst into laughter everytime because we know how bad we sound, but still after many years we havent been able to sing ‘proper’ harmony.
    “You are my Sunshine” and “Amazing Grace” are some of our favorites.

    We take this very seriously. We clear our throats and warm up our vocal chords— me.me.me.la.la.la.
    (i’m sure we look like a bunch of  crazies to other people driving by)

    I blame it on being homeschooled. I am sure mom instilled this in us when we were little- there she was driving whilst conducting and
    all of us (3 sisters) trying our very best to sing like angels.  That was our music class. In the car.

    I am being so serious when I say that instead of turning on the radio or playing the Ipod or popping in a CD… We sing. With ‘Harmony’.
    (again, I blame these actions on mom. She wouldn’t even let us listen to Power 92 growing up- afterall, you never know when Barbie Girl would come on).

    Alberta Mountain Wedding Photography

    August 31, 2010

    I wanted to share a few more images from Cherisa & Jordan’s amazing wedding day.
    They were married in an intimate ceremony in the Cardston LDS temple , with photos in Waterton near the prince of wales

    & Cameron lake. The amazing day filled with love, was followed with an amazing family luncheon at the charming Cobblestone Manor,

    and an amazing party full of speeches, Jordan singing to Cherisa and a fun filled dance at the lynx ridge golf course.

    _____________________

    I simply & totally adore this image of the dress. The light was just gorgeous.

    Cherisa & Jordan had their marriage sealed in the Cardston, Alberta temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

    The temple is an amazing backdrop for photos. So magestic!

    We traveled to waterton & spent some time doing some lovely wedding images with just the two of them. We started out by the Prince of Wales hotel….which Cherisa’s grandfather actually helped build. How darling is that?

     

    Cherisa, you are so totally radiant. Jordan is SO lucky to have you!

    The drama & joy in this photo makes my heart sing. I just adore this image. It is everything that I love.

    Joy, drama & natural light.

    This image is another favorite image of mine. I adore the passion in it.

    This wedding image was taken in Waterton right beside the Prince of Wales hotel.

    Cherisa loves Jordan.

    Something about this image of Jordan showcasing their rings, is so gentle & yet strong to me.This tender darling moment was captured up by Cameron Lake. I adore the feeling in it.

    Cherisa is seriously the cutest girl ever.Now for a few of my signature stylized images

    Theresa and Jesse {Sneak Peek} Fort Edmonton Wedding Photography

    August 31, 2010

    They have the most beautiful story.

    They were neighborhood kids. They only lived a few blocks away.
    The moment she saw him walking down the sidewalk she walked up to him and asked: “Will you be my friend?”
    In Jr. High she would carry a photo of him in her pocket, and huddle around the lockers showing her  friends that and telling them that  this is the guy she would LOVE to marry.
    She had  a not-so-secret crush on him for years. You know, the cute adorable, jr.high crush.

    He’s Ukranian. She’s Italian.
    They mesh together perfectly.
    The moment Jesse saw her walk down the aisle. He didn’t blink.
    He couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
    And Theresa couldn’t wipe the smile off of her face. The moment she had wanted ever since jr. high had come true.

    We did formals in Fort Edmonton Park which was fab!! Theresa rocked out the photo session and Jesse couldn’t have had more swag

    The reception was in the BEAUTIFUL Polish Veterans Hall which had an amazing dance floor and stunning Chandeliers!

    Theresa and Jesses day couldn’t have been more perfect.

    Mucho Love,

    {Things I am afraid of}

    August 24, 2010

    I was in line at my all time favorite tea shops- yes, Starbucks (i know, i know- but their Herbal London Fog is to DIE FOR, well that sounded a little extreme,
    ok, I would wait in line for it even if there was still 8 people ahead of me.), anyways, I heard this little boy talking to his little sister…
    about things they were afraid of. And well, that got me thinking….

    Things I am afraid of:

    ::: Heights- anything higher than 5 feet off the ground makes me slightly nervous and my fear just escalates from there to a point where
    I almost feel a  little dizzy and my stomache starts to turn.  However I am really good when it comes to flying in a plane, or when
    I am harnessed (rock climbing), or jumping on a trampoline.
    ::: Anything creepy crawly unless it is in its proper surroundings- nature, and still even then…
    ::: I am afraid that I will start taking life too seriously.
    ::: that I saw yellow leaves forming on trees on tonights walk with Mr. Burgess.
    :::  That my feet will never have a pedicure this summer. just the thought makes me shiver.
    ::: that all SIX of my alarms won’t go off on a Saturday morning (to shoot a wedding).
    ::: that Oodle Noodle will go out of business because it is the bee’s knees.
    ::: That Matt’s piggybank (from his teen years), which is a spikey haired angry lookin’ gangsta’ , will fall off the bookshelf and break…. not.
    ::: The dark night. Like my mum always said, nothing good happens after dark.
    ::: That Mr. Burgess will get his hands on my Highschool play DVD- where I played a spoon. yes, a spoon. like the kind of spoon you eat cereal with.
    ::: Deep water- If I can’t touch, I am very hesitant to swim… and if I finally get brave and get coaxed into it I will ONLY do it if there is  a wall or
    ground a few meters away…
    ::: The weigh scale. scccarrryy.

    Mucho Love,
    Kari

    Krystal & Radelle {Banff}

    August 23, 2010

    This past weekend I had a wedding in Banff. It was a lovely wedding & it will be featured here on the blog very soon.

    BUT I wanted to take a moment to share a few things about my sister krystal. She came with me to Banff,

    and we made a bit of a girls trip out of it. I have SO much fun with Krystal, and because she spends so much

    time traveling back to Africa (where she lived all of last year, and the next 3 years starting 2012) where her

    hubby is getting his PhD; I really miss her. So I was thrilled when I knew we were going to make a mini-sister-getaway to Banff.

    The only thing missing, was our other sister Kari. (she was in Edmonton shooting a wedding).

    A few quick things about Krystal :

    She is the smartest sister. She works as an accountant & wherever she moves, she has people literally

    begging her to work for them. This is no surprise as she used to read in bed with a flashlight & a dictionary. To, you know,

    look up the words she didn’t understand.

    She is incredibly kind hearted & loves children. She is so very good with my son & it means the world to me.

    She is very adventurous. Her & her husband have been on so many adventures it is just crazy! I admire her

    free spirit! I mean, how many 20somethings do you know that have rode an ostrich & quadded the worlds largest sand dunes.

    Im just sayin’.

    She is clearly VERY beautiful.

    Her sense of humor is subtle but very very funny.

    She is a fierce competitor in canasta

    __________________________

    Below is a rather embarrassing collage of a girls trip that her & I took to B.C about 5 years ago.

    Let’s just say, we wore spandex that we painted words on. We hired & plane to “show us around”. We bought

    weird glasses & would startle the cars of people who drove by us with our “good looks”, etc.

    I just really really love her.

    Edmonton Wedding Photographers {Just a little of who we are}

    August 18, 2010

    People have said “you two are identical!’, “are you twins?”, “you even act the exact same!’, “wow… so clearly, you are sisters”.

    You see, I don’t think we look alike at all- yes we do have a few similar features (especially when Radelle was brunette), but my goodness…
    anywhere we go, we always get the reactions listed above!

    It finally dawned on me one afternoon when we were spending the day with the family playing the game ‘Things”.
    Radelle and I, on more than one occasion wrote the EXACT same answer. The EXACT SAME! It was wierd, like, realllly weird.

    From that moment on I think we both observed and actually took note on similar we are!

    * Our sense of humour is the same- we laugh over almost anything…yes, even perverted jokes.
    * We love the same food- spaghetti and parm, roast and the mini potatoes…
    * We even love to drink a Red Bull before weddings- although we try to cut back, because they are very unhealthy…well, we try.
    * We have similar mannerisms- we talk with our hands, if we don’t understand something or don’t like something- its very much seen on our facial expression.
    * We love hollywood gossip…. but umm, who doesn’t?
    *  We love chick flicks…* Even the our husbands have similar temperments… which makes us similar because we married similar men. Right? Case closed!
    * We love little boutiques or mom and pop cafes where everything is homemade!
    * We have even shown up to events where VERY similar outfits (color and all!).
    * If we had to treat ourselves to one thing, it would hands down be a massage.
    * AND when we play Telepaths and are partners… we usually, ALMOST ALWAYS win
    * We LOVE to go to events where you get all glam, but we also love the jeans and t-shirt BBQ’s!
    * If a Lindor was presented to each of us… pretty sure we put it on our dashboard just for a few minutes (with the sun shining, or put on the heat), so it gets a little bit melted, and then devour!
    (believe me, if you have not tried this… do it!)
    *POP=NO, Water=YES.
    *We like to think we’re pretty funny… I am sure there are people out there that would agree, and possibly (but very unlikely LOL) disagree.
    * We both are clutzy. Whether its hitting my head on my car door, or Radelle tripping up a curb. Usually we just pretend like nothing happened,
    and just keep walking- depending on the severity, of course.
    * I think we’re nearly at the point where we can look at eachother and know what going through their mind… its a sisterly gift.

    Need I say more? because there is oh so much more!

    It is quite unbelievable how similar we are, but hey, we are sisters. It runs in the blood. But more than that- we are best friends.

    Look at that air, helloo, that is pretty impressive for a girl who can’t even reach her toes while standing and without bending the knees- not  flexible. at all.

    Radelle wanted to promise everyone of our brides, that we will not, never, ever pose you as such (see below. if you dare).

    Crystal and Wes (Mulhurst Wedding Photography)

    August 18, 2010

    Crystal and Wes actually got married last February in Vegas! However, they wanted to hold a beautiful celebration of their love for friends and family!
    When Crystal returned home from Vegas she started planning a beautiful intimate reception.
    One of Crystals favorite colors is red (she’s just like me!) and so using  orgeous and timeless red roses for punches of color around the reception building.
    Her bouquet actually looked very similar to mine for my wedding day- so in other terms… I loved it.
    It was classic. simple. elegant.

    Crystal and Wes have been by eachothers side for many years, and from the way they hold eachothers hands with that firm but delicate grip,
    you know they will always stand by one another.

    Fort Edmonton Park Wedding Photography {Jennifer & John}

    August 18, 2010

    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.

    Sarah and Jay {Edmonton Wedding Photographer}

    August 16, 2010

    It was an extraordinary day. The sun peered out from the clouds just after the early morning rain.
    Sarah got ready in The Village Creek Country Inn . The view from the back balcony was breathtaking (which is where we decided to take our photos!)
    The moment I met Sarah I knew that she was a beautiful person. Inside and out. She radiated kindness and joy, and the moment she said ‘knickers’
    my heart grew twice the size.

    This was the day she was going to marry the man of her dreams. Who has stood by her through thick and thin. She was about to marry
    her best friend.
    Her sister even flew all the way from England to be a part of her beautiful day.
    The giggling in the room was constant. This was a special day. For everyone.

    Jay had such amazing style. He was rockin’ his bowtie and his hat. He looked so handsome!!
    Even though I had to pay their 6 year old son a toonie to smile for family photos, it was worth it!
    He gave me the biggest smile he had (oh, gosh he was a cutie!).

    Seeing Sarah and Jay together… it made me smile. because they are the perfect fit.

    Mucho Love,
    Kari

    It is very good.

    August 11, 2010

    Just the way his eyes look at me. It gives a girl goosebumps.
    His smile is contagious in every way. When he laughs, you can’t help but laugh- even if you don’t understand why you are laughing in the first place.
    They way his cold feet touch mine before we drift off to sleep…
    The way he makes a grilled cheese sandwich… its like a human version of CatNip.
    Whenever I get hard on myself, he is there, right by my side- cheering me on, lifting me up, and encouring me.

    I never knew marriage could be this good and this easy.

    Because it is good. Very good.


    Mucho Love,
    Kari

    {Jenine and David} Canmore Wedding Photographer

    August 10, 2010

    Jenine and David had a beautiful wedding in Canmore!  Nothing could ruin their day. They had a smile on their face the entire time- even when some
    unfriendly weather stopped by.  Because of the weather they were able to experience the best of both worlds- they had a gorgeous outdoor mountain ceremony,
    which was interupted by rain and hail but then finished their ceremony in the lodge next to a crackling fireplace. It was truly beautiful!

    I couldn’t help but tear up when they said their vows. Their loved beamed through the words that were spoken.
    You could see it in their eyes. That this love was real. That this love was true.

    Jenine and David made their wedding unique in SO many ways!
    Because they both work for the Edmonton Police they incorporated a bagpiper within the ceremony which made it even more personal for them
    (if thats even possible!)
    They also had a live band at the wedding reception!  (For all those brides planning a wedding- this was a fantastic idea! It really
    motivated guests to get up and dance and enjoy the music being played!)

    It was a beautiful honor to share in their beautiful day! I have never met anybody more genuine, caring, thoughtful and kind as Jenine and David.
    I cherished every moment I spent with them- because I, again, got to see another example of true love.

    Mucho Amor,
    Kari

    Tammy & Tyler {Devonian Gardens Wedding}

    August 9, 2010

    Tammy wins the award for Most Calm Bride.
    When her limo driver didn’t show (and upon her phoning him, he said he “forgot”)
    (she had phoned to confirm the day before), she just stayed calm & thought about
    how to get to her wedding ceremony. It was my honor to drive Tammy & the bridesmaids
    to her wedding at the Devonian Gardens (outside of Edmonton).

    Tammy & Tyler are a very cute couple & compliment each other very, very nicely. Tammy & Tyler

    enjoy your sneak peek!!!

    I love these two photos of Tammy getting all dolled up, as they show some of the fun, real moments!

    Tammy getting her lovely dress. On the righthand side is a lovely picture of her dad that I just adore.How totally  totally cute.I usually prefer to work alone, however on this wedding day, I felt the need to bring an assistant. She did great! (wink)

    The flowers were beautiful! Very airy & fresh looking.

    Tammy’s shoes? super super cute. The girls got style.

    I loved how Tammy had pink details everywhere. It just made me happy!

    I LOVE this shot of Tyler!!They are SO happy together!!Tammy,  you are so pretty it is not fair.

    I am in love with the movement in these!Tammy’s reception took my breath away. I am in LOVE with pink & pink receptions are just good for my soul.

    Look at all these details!! LOVE IT!

    Dress: I got it in a little boutique in Missisagua (not a brand name)
    Bouquets: Safeway
    Bridesmaid Gowns: AlfredAngelo
    Cupcakes: Imaginative Icing
    Shoes: First Shoes
    Veil: Borrowed from Jodie (Tyler’s Sister)

    Photographer: Eternal Reflections Photography
    DJ: RVL DJ’s

    Ceremony: Devonian Gardens

    Reception: West End Edmonton Seniors Center

    Caterer: Magestic Catering (excellent food & fantastically nice owner)

    How did they meet?

    Tyler had moved here to do his placement for school and didn’t have a place to stay.
    I had lived in a house with a few ladies and we had agreed to have a guy move in. A
    few days later I went outside to get something from my car and came back in, there
    was Tyler. I like to tell people that he showed up on my door step. :)
    We have been inseperable ever since.

    Fave memory of the wedding?

    My favorite thing about the wedding was how almost everything may have went wrong
    but we were still able to laugh about it! (Would have never been able to get the
    filling up a gas tank shot with a limo showing up)

    Yesterday evening I decided to go for a mind clearing bike ride.

    You see, building a house & being in full force wedding season can be busy. Very busy.

    I just needed some fresh air. I needed quiet gentle life.

    As I was biking along (with my 2 year old son sitting on the carrier mounted on the back of my bike) down

    country roads, lined with vibrant yellow waist high canola fields; I felt my shoulder relax & my cup

    being filled. There was something about the only sounds being the gravel under the tires & the birds singing.

    That is, until a far more beautiful song started.

    The song where my son called me lady. Where he substitued the word “baby” (which I sing to him) for “Lady”.

    All on his own.

    As we biked along, with stunning scenery around  us, fresh air invigorating us & love bonding us…

    I heard my curly locked boy singing (as his hair blew back under his bike helmet)

    ” I Love you Lady & if its quite alright, I need you Lady through all the lonely nights & I will LOVE you lady,

    I will love you lady”

    I swear to you, I will never, ever forget that moment.

    Driving. Sonny and Cher. Wild Horses.

    July 29, 2010

    Matt and I just returned from a fabulous trip to the USA.
    It was alot of driving. Normally, not my cup of tea.
    But anytime Matt and I drive somewhere,
    we have a disgusting amount of fun! Thats right. A disgusting amount.

    We sing. Whether he’ll admit it or not. We BOTH sing.
    He’s Sonny and I’m Cher. Minus the mustache and a body that is size 1.

    ….and we Dance. Oh, how we dance. Lets just say, I caught a few driver-by-ers, staring at our saweet moves. jealous.

    However, as fun as driving is, I know that a certain somebody doesn’t trust another certain someone behind the steering wheel…
    Just because I like to go a little bit faster than the designated speed limit, and  sometimes I brake suddenly,
    AND just because I have hit a curb…or two…or three, while turning corners does not mean that someone should
    worry for their safety.
    Afterall, I would be wearing a very cute pair of high heels.., (does that help my case at all??)

    Its kind of funny because we both secretly know it that he has hestitations about my driving.
    But it has never been said. Outloud.
    Whenever I am behind the steering wheel, Matt isn’t able to fall asleep.
    He claims: ‘I can’t sleep when anyone else is driving’…. ‘Its not you,It is if anyone is driving’….’Its hard to sleep in a car’.
    So, you’re telling me that after 11 hours of driving, singing, dancing and NO redbull you can’t sleep for 15 minutes??
    Common Mr. Burgess, you have to come up with a better story than that.  I’m not buyin’ it.
    On our drive home. He was pretty tired, so I suggested I drive.
    Well he can’t say no… or what would that imply?
    As I was driving safely I told him to close his eyes for 15 minutes straight, and just let your mind go into a total state of relaxation,
    and you will automatically fall asleep.
    BUT.
    I saw that terd peeking.
    More than once. After the 15 minutes, he ‘woke’ up, and said ‘See, I told you I can’t sleep in cars.’
    Oh, Mr. Burgess you are a sneaky one.

    I drive how I drive. And their ain’t nobody who can reign in this wild horse………. except police officers.
    They can bring a gallop to a trot. Temporarily.
    ( yes mom, I know ain’t, ain’t a word..)
