You know you…
December 29, 2009

take a lot of photos when you overhear your darling niece telling your other darling neice (same age) “remember to always keep a smiley look on your face because you never know when Aunty Radelle is taking your photo”.

bah ha ha ha ha. I love kids.

( I know I said I was not going to post until after the New Year, but I just was wanting to say “hi” and give you a giggle.)

In case you thought my neice got all of the amazing looks in the family, here is her equally beautiful little

sister.

are quite dorky. We think we are as well.
We will be back blogging in about 2 weeks time. We are so excited! We have some really fantastic

images saved up for you! (and im sure the odd funny and/or embarassing story)

Much Love & Enjoy this Christmas season,
Radelle, Adam & Kari
p.s. The picture above, is just so that you remember, after seeing the terrible video, why you hired us.

p.p.s. For those of you still emailing to be in the Fall 2010 workshop, we will reply with a personal email,

but as we said in the last post (scroll down), it is sadly full. However, we are more then happy to put you

on the waiting list for our Spring 2011 workshop! (and we will send you a personal email outlining these

details for you after Christmas. But just know that the fall one is already full! And thankyou so much for

your overwhelming interest! Much Love!)

Edmonton Wedding Photographer| Finally Adam
December 17, 2009

Im not going to say that Kari & Radelle have been hogging the blog, but they have.

A guy cannot get a word in edge-wise around here. Ive been going through my summers

work & updating my portfolio & realised that I have quite a few weddings that ive

yet to share.

I really enjoyed working with Josh & Megan (come to think about it, I need to blog their Engagment shoot!)

3 Things I know for sure:

1. Josh loves megan. It’s so obvious. He’s smitten.

2. The girls here at the office swooned over Megan’s purple shoes. They

wanted to marry them.

3. They are seriously, seriously cool people. So down to earth & fun.

FAQ for photographers.

FAQ photographers

Lindsay wrote, “your work always looks so fresh & original. How do you do it?”
Well Lindsay (& other photographers!), everything! Seriously, sometimes it is the mischevious glint in the ring bearers eyes, sometimes it is the style of the dress, sometimes it is a storefront ad (abercrombie for example) that looks emotional & raw. Sometimes it is visiting our grandparents, sometimes it is Rockwell. Stay tuned to your surroundings & feelings and you will be amazed at how inspiring your own life is.

Edmonton Wedding Photographers {Reflect The Love}
December 14, 2009

{ Reflect The Love }

I have never met him before. Although I should have. Afterall, he is our neighbor.
Not long after coming home from Church, we heard a little tap on the door.
Confused, because we were not expecting company, I made sure Matt answered the door. (yes, I am a scaredy cat!!).
Thats when I saw him. Wearing nothing but a sweater/jeans, socks with sandals and a light blue scarf around his neck.
He just stepped outside for a quick cigarette. But locked himself outside in the -30 weather.
We invited him in, as he was waiting for about 20 minutes for
someone to arrive with keys.

He sat on our couch and we small talked for a little while. And thats when I learned that this was his first day off in 3 months
(I am sure his plans didn’t include hanging out with the burgess’!!)
He was in the army. And had another part time job.
There was something about him. He was quiet and kind.

Matt asked him if he liked Seinfeld, and thats when he grew a huge grin and nodded his head.

Matt and him ended up watching Seinfeld for a bit. While I was being Martha Stewart in the Kitchen.
I was making a batch of cookies.
But realized I had no chocolate chips. I turned to Matt and interupted their Seinfeld, and said…
‘oh nooo. we don’t have any chocolate chips for our cookies. I guess their just going to be dough.’
To which he said that he just fine with that =)

After the episode finished up, we said our goodbyes as his place was unlocked now.
While stepping out yesterday to run to the vehicle for something, Matt noticed something at his feet.
A bottle of wine, along with a bag of
…. Hershey’s chocolate chips…

With a beautiful note that said

‘ Just as a Thank You for helping out earlier.
Merry Christmas,
James. ‘

No James, Thank You. For being so Christ-like this Holiday season, and being such a beautiful example of
gratitude. It will always be a perfect reminder for us to be greatful for things big and small.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to show appreciation to a complete stranger.

Mucho Love,
Kari

Shane and Shellaine were a beautiful example of people who {Reflect the Love}, So I wanted to do a Shout Out to them!

Edmonton Wedding Photographers/Edmonton Wedding Photography
December 13, 2009

I feel so blessed. I came home just the other day from a day of shooting.

It was my last wedding for the 2009 year.

I came home late. My legs ached.
My eyes were sleepy. I was tired.
Matt greeted me with his charming smile.
I smile.

Matt: Hey, I made the bed today.
Me: Oh, good. Thanks!
(confused that he would bring that up, he always makes the bed)
Matt: Ya- i made it extra good.
Me: Oh wonderful (I probably had a weirded out look on my face while giving him a thumbs up)

In the mean time I go and get changed into my lulu’s. For Comfort.

Later on, I decied I wanted to have a Hot Bubble Bath. Bliss.
After the bath, I went into our bedroom and changed back into my lulus.
Snuggled with him on the couch. Made hot tea. and watched 1/2 an episode of whatever was on tv.
Bliss.
I decided I was really tired and just needed to go to bed.
I walk into the bedroom.
I look at our bed and thats when I saw it.

A bright orange post it note. A single Pink Rose. Lindt Hazelnut chocolate.

I still cannot believe I didn’t notice the other 2 times I went into our bedroom.
Not to mention- he gave away a huge hint saying he made the bed.
I must have been a zombie.

How lucky am I?
Pretty darn tootin’ lucky i’d say.

Just the other day Adam & I were out on a traditional horse-drawn sleigh ride. The snow was falling in soft gentle flakes, in massive amounts.

They were everywhere. My eyelashes have never felt longer, for attached at the end of each one, was a mini snowflake.

I felt so pretty, although im sure I looked freaky. I felt festive. The evening felt magical. My mitten-ed hand,

was holding his gloved hand. His cold watery eyes looking into my cold watery eyes (with the long white eyelashes),

and it was a true Christmas moment. The kind you seen in the movies. Where everyone is drinking copious amounts

of hot chocolate & playing games as a family & fighting (but in that cute “you know they’ll make up” sort of way).

Anyways, so there we were, on this sleigh ride with about 6 other couples. Feelings festive, I suggest we sing carols.

Adam (ever supportive & excited by my ideas) bursts into song in his deep voice. Everyone joins us.

We were laughing, smiling and feeling all “peace on earth”-like. We started singing Winter Wonderland.

By this time, im all warmed up & belting it.

“…….He’ll say: Are you married?
We’ll say: No man, (im shaking my head excitedly & moving my arms festively as though im a tiny little elf)
But you can do the job
When you’re in town..

Later on, we’ll PERSPIRE….(AUDIBLE GASPS),
As we dream by the fire” <— at this point it was just me singing. Everyone else was looking

at me like rein-deer caught in headlights.

I looked at Adam and I hissed “whhhhatt??”

He said “darlin’ its not Perspire (as in sweat, which makes PERFECT sense, they are by the fire,

and last time I checked, fires are hot),

its CONSPIRE”.

“Oh”.

My cheeks went 7 shades of red.

Ive said it before, and i’ll say it again. Adam is a very lucky man.

Athabasca Wedding Photographer. Edmonton Wedding Photography
December 10, 2009

-By Radelle

With cold days upon us (and getting worse on the weekend), we thought

that we would warm you up by showing you weddings that we havent had a

chance to feature on our blog, from this past summer. This wedding was in Athabasca.

I love doing wedding photography in athabasca as it is so scenic. I was up there a few

times this summer & each wedding blew me away! So lovely & the people so down

to earth and kind hearted.

3 Reflections that I know for sure

1) Jaime & I share a serious love of horses

2) That I loved her cheery yellow bouquet

3) That they are adorable together. Totally darling.

I love the romantic feeling in this one! It just makes you go “ahhhhhh…”

This girl has a megawatt smile. She brightens the room.VERY fun wedding party to work with!I LOVE the light on her veil & the vintage chair we found in the barn

Edmonton Wedding Photographer| Eternally Yours
December 10, 2009

How I love this man.

Today is our anniversary. I loved him the moment that I first saw him & again when we started dating 4 years later.

To say he completes me would be an understatement. I adore him. I cannot get enough of him. I believe in love, because of him. My path to true love was not an easy one, but so worth it to have Adam as my Husband & Best Friend.

When people meet him, they ask if he is “for real”?! Yes, yes he is.

He is so loving, gentle, funny & kind that its remarkable. He is my hero.

Just as greatful as I am to have him as my husband, I am even more greatful that he is the father to my son. What an incredible example of how to treat a woman. Whoever Rockwell one day marries will be so lucky to get him, because of the example of his father.

Before I get to mushy (to late?lol), this song is exactly how I feel about adam.

I love you with all my heart.

You are my heart.

Edmonton Wedding Photographer| Tender Love
December 9, 2009

I chose to post these two lovebirds on the eve of Adam & I’s anniversary, because I love their pure, honest love.

One of the bridesmaid speeches talked about how perfect they are for each other, and thats

how I feel about my Adam. We were made from the same cloth (is that how you say that?).

2 Souls in seperate bodies….That is these two. They compliment each other perfectly.

3 Things I know for sure

1) He got married in barefeet (outdoor ceremony) & I thought it rocked

2)The bride taught me amazing things about gratitude & sacrifice

3)This wedding party was so fun & rocked it so well.

I love how this photo shows the ceremonial ring & the tender ring boy’s fingers

I think it is so neat to see the (super cute!!) flowergirl beside the Bride. Little Miss & Mrs. Cute.

Didn’t I tell you the wedding party was fun? (I stopped traffic & nearly got a ticket I swear!)

The darling Ring boy. So sweet.

Edmonton Wedding Photographer| Shannon & Justin
December 8, 2009

-By Radelle

The moment I met Shannon, I fell in love with her.

She is darling in the sweetest way. I arrived at her house and she was so calm, but so excited. So giddy and yet so certain. You could see in her eyes, that she know without a doubt that Justin was The One. She had a peace in her demeanor that was tangible. I was so excited for her.

3 things I know for sure

1) That Justin adores her (as he should) and that she is going to make an amazing wife. amazing. So tenderhearted.

2) That I love her spunky mother & aunt. They won my heart the moment I walked in that front door.

3) That her grandpa was around. He is passed away, but ever since, she & her mother have been finding dimes. Wouldn’t you know that there was one randomly on her dressing room table & when I moved the couch (to get a certain shot) the only thing under there was 1 dime (ok, I don’t know about you folks, but I shudder at what might be under my couch, there is never just one thing, there is always a million things that I’ve been missing terribly. Oh, and lots of toothbrushes. Random, I know). But ALL that was under her couch, was a dime. Amazing & Magical.

These photos were done at Fort Edmonton Park. I love weddings at Fort Edmonton Park as they are so unique. The photography that I can capture there is one of a kind. I also love accommodating the staff at Fort Edmonton is to my brides. They really do dote on them hand & foot and I appreciate that. If you are thinking about having your wedding at Fort Edmonton Park, feel free to drop me an email and pick my brain.

p.s. isnt she lovely?!

They were Married in St. Basil’s. The Great Ukrainian Catholic Church on 7007 109st NW Edmonton.

More Pictures of these two lovebirds tomorrow…..
