Rudy and Salome

Rudy and Sal's wedding had a very old world feel to it, antique cars, classy bridesmaids, and a ring passed down from Rudy's Grandmother made this a very unique photo opportunity. That the reception was held at the beautiful Hotel MacDonald ballroom was just icing on the cake!

This was the ring passed down from Rudy's Grandmother. I think it's a lovely tradition especially considering how beautiful and unique this ring is!

We love this shot because it was taken right when Rudy saw Salome coming down the aisle, the tears combined with delight on his face are priceless.

Rudy and Sal's adorable little daughter!

The girls thought it would be fun to get a shot in the water, it was really hot that day and I'm pretty sure they were just trying to cool off!

Salome's dance with her father was so emotional that by the end everyone was wiping away tears.

Rudy and Sal hired Flamenco dancers to perform for their guests. Very cool.

A packed dance floor at a wedding is always fun. This dance floor was flooded from the very first song!

Thanks again Rudy and Sal for including us in your amazing day!

Christine and Adam

Christine and Adam's easygoing personalities made their wedding day very fun and stress free.

We spent most of our time at a park in Spruce Grove which was lovely, it was a really hot day (thirty something degrees) and I was tempted once or twice to join the Dads who had camped out under a tree to watch us take photos!

Christine and Adam have two little ones and they were very much a part of the day, we really enjoyed being able to photograph them interacting with their newly married parents!

The reception was held at a hall just outside of Spruce Grove, Aspen and I knew there were some pretty fields around so we spent a good 20 min thrashing around in the bush until we finally came across this one. Right at sunset. And when we said to Christine and Adam "Hey! We found a really beautiful field just across the road! All you have to do is step over some thistle, dodge some branches and sneak through a rusty barb wire fence!" They replied "Sure!". So glad they did because we love, love, love these photos.

If we gave out awards for best dancing I think these ladies and the little kids below would have won.

Leo and Justyna

I met Leo and Justyna through my other job at MAC, where Justyna was looking for make up tips for the wedding. Not only did I get to make her pretty, I had the privilege of shooting their wedding with Penny in tow! It was super cool because Justyna's Polish and Leo is Philippino. It was a great mix of cultures with awesome family on both sides. After their elegant ceremony, we took off to the Jubilee Auditorium and had a wonderful time tromping around taking pictures. I've never experienced a more serene photo-taking day since we had the Jubilee all to ourselves. Their reception was lovely, and it was great food! A timeless affair to remember, for sure!

Ines

Modeling is hard. The photographers drag you out to a random scrapyard, make you stand in the cold in very little clothing (all the while making comments about how cold their fingers are) and expect you to look pretty. Which is exactly what we did to Ines and she was awesome!

Two skateboarders were skating in a tube like this not too far from where we were shooting, I do hope it didn't have the big metal spikes in the floor like this one did!

Alecia - Lady Luck Make-Up

Our friend Alecia set up this shoot as she is an amazing make-up artist/model. I'm always amazed by her skills, not only did she do her hair and make-up for this shoot but she also made the tutu she is wearing.......and then of course made a matching one for my dog, Maddy. Cute!

We always love working with Alecia, she has done the make-up for some of our most favorite shoots (flashback to the cupcake photo). Check out her company "Lady Luck Make-Up" on facebook!

Bonnie and Alex

We had SO much fun running around Edmonton with our pals Bonnie and Alex! We became friends with them after their engagement shoot when Alex did our website, I did Bonnie's make-up and then she made my wedding cake! This was a 15 hour day but it felt like five with all the fun we had. There's a ton more photos I want to post but I'd be here all day! Thanks again guys!

We have so many photos of Bonnie grinning ear to ear.

Very cooperative construction workers!

(Side note from Penny - I was packing up our gear and turned to find the wedding party marching back and forth between lights but with no photographer in sight! Eventually I spotted Aspen crouched amongst traffic on a little cement meridian taking photos. Funny!)

Bonnie and her friend Lindsay made a bunch of candy and sweets for their guests, we sampled some and they were very tasty!
