Tam-Lynn and Jon - E-Session


Although these two high school sweethearts lost touch after graduation, little did they know that at the 2001 Folk Festival, they'd reconnect in a big way. Last Saturday I had the pleasure of doing an engagement session with Tam-Lynn and Jon. First thing in the morning - in Elk Island Park - the temperature hovered at -21 - but that didn't stop this couple from enjoying the sunshine.


A brisk walk helps to keep warm.


Tam-Lynn sports her engagement band as she shares a moment with Jon.


Later in the morning we headed to downtown Edmonton for some indoor shooting. Ahhhh warmth.


Jon happily dips his soon to be bride.


Tam-Lynn and Jon - thanks for being good sports about the weather. I had a great time shooting with you and am looking forward to your wedding this summer - cheers!

Aneta and Carmen - February 17, 2007


Who says winter weddings in Alberta are challenging? Not I, and not Aneta and Carmen - who tied the knot in style on February 17th.

The ceremony took place in the auditorium of the West Edmonton Christian assembly.


Aneta and Carmen share some hearty laughter as they link hands to exchange their vows.


The marriage begins with a kiss.


Immediately after the ceremony, the bride's talented brother dedicated a song to the newlyweds.


The majority of formals were done at the Neil Crawford center in south Edmonton. Here, the wedding party flash their smiles as Aneta and Carmen share a kiss.


The bride looked stunning on her wedding day.


Aneta displays her lovely dress.


The reception took place at the Royal Glenora club. It began with an old Polish tradition; the bride's parents presented the couple with bread and salt - two items they were never to be without in their union.


The newlyweds didn't fail to appease the crowd with their affections.


Later in the evening, the MC ran a creative 'shoe game' that drew lots of laughter from the crowd.


Aneta and Carmen - thank you much for the opportunity to share your day. Your wedding went off without a hitch as I'm sure your lives together will. Cheers!
