I met Alysha working for an optometrist years ago where we bonded over frame adjustments and a mutual love for coffee. So when she called me to tell me she was getting married and she wanted us to shoot for her I jumped at the opportunity to be part of a friend's special day. I've never before shot a Ukrainian Orthodox wedding before and it was really interesting to see some of the more traditional aspects of the ceremony. ( I liked the crowns the best). After the ceremony we drove to one of the first Ukrainian Orthodox decorative churches in Alberta in the middle of nowhere for some spectacular shots.
The reception that followed was really memorable with lots of emotion from all family and friends, and there was a lot of POLKA!! Yay polka! All in all, a lovely day with lovely friends.... here are some of our favs!
