Pam and Dean - December 29, 2006



If this handsome couple looks familiar to you, you're probably a devoted fan of this blog. Just a couple of months ago (in warmer times), I did an engagement session with Pam and Dean at Elk Island Park and featured their shots here. Their special day finally rolled around and I had the privilege of capturing it.

Angie got ready for her big day at her parent's house along with her bridesmaids and family.

The day began early in the morning when Pam began her preparations at her parent's home.

Her three bridesmaids (all sisters) worked diligently to help her into her dress.

Due to the day's schedule, we conducted formals before the ceremony. First stop was the Royal Museum where the entire wedding party struck a pose.

Oh my - and not even married yet.

Next stop was a warmer locale - Eaton Center in downtown Edmonton. The soon to be married couple shares a moment.

Dean wanted to do some shopping.

And so did Pam.

The stunning bride smiles for a portrait.

The ceremony was soon underway at the Delta Hotel in south Edmonton. Pam and her father walk down the aisle.

The vows are shared with heartfelt emotion.

And a kiss begins the marriage.

The reception was held on the top floor of the Delta. Laughter and good times abounded as everyone present shared in a happy celebration.

Pam and Dean share their first dance.

And cut the cake with a smile.

Pam and Dean - thanks a ton. You're a couple destined for happiness and I'm glad I could be a part of your wedding. Onto your albums! Cheers!

Tiffany and Jay - December 16, 2006



With the holiday season now (almost) over, I've finally gotten a chance to update the blog. While winter in Alberta means fewer weddings, December still hosted two memorable ones.

The first one belonged to Tiffany and Jay. This young couple elected to get married in Jasper National Park - one of my favorite places in the world. Even in the winter, this park's vast beauty can boggle the mind.

Tiffany and her parents make an entrance to her ceremony at the Lobstick Lodge.


The room was beautifull decorated and featured a great view of the Rockies.


Being so close to Christmas, what would a wedding be without at least one Christmas tree nearby.


The vows are sealed with a kiss.


After the ceremony, we headed outdoors for a few photos. While not being frigid, a stiff wind made things ... challenging. I can't imagine what a foot of snow felt like on high heeled shoes and nylon covered feet. The ladies toughed it out, however, and we managed a few shots. Here, the newlywed couple share a moment on Patricia Lake.


The brave wedding party puts on their best smiles despite the lingering hypothermia.


The reception was filled with heartfelt speeches and lots of laughs.


Tiffany and Jay share their first dance.


Congratulations Tiffay and Jay. I thank you for the oppotunity to share in your wedding in such beautiful surroundings. Best of luck now and in the future. Cheers!
