You might remember Jason & Andrea from their two awesome engagement sessions: It’s Amore, Pizza Parlour Shoot & It’s Amore Engagement Portraits. They were a wonderful couple to shoot then, and they only surpassed it for their wonderful wedding day.

We spent the day with the couple as they got ready, got married, got pics, and got their party on! We felt like family by the end, and we were so blessed to have been part of their day!

We love you guys, and we hope you like your sneak peek at your wedding day!

Thanks again to Aadil for helping us out, here he is as usual, with one of his awesome shots!

When we shot Derek & Andrea’s engagement session, we knew they would bring it on their wedding day, and they delivered. They were up for any shot, willing to pose in torrential rain with thousands of mosquitoes and managed to have fun in spite of it all. You guys and your bridal party were troopers, and we totally appreciated it!

Take a look at what a very rainy wedding day can look like – I hope, aside from the umbrellas, you’d never know that the rain was soaking through all our clothes and hair!

Take a look at their son, Jakob, the best man… so cute!

Which do you like better? We couldn’t decide:

Thanks again to Aadil for helping assist! Here he is with one of his pics:

And, since we haven’t done a ‘behind the scenes’ post in a while, we thought we’d toss some of us in action here:

Not only is this restaurant full of love and laughter, it’s full of AWESOME food, which was showered on us like we were one of their own family members. It was great; we even had enough for leftovers! YUM!

Jason’s brother and best man, Andrea (AndRAYa) – not to be mistaken with Jason’s fiance Andrea (AndREEa) – was already at the restaurant with Jason’s dad (and some awesome help staff) getting the bistro ready for the night’s opening. We included them in the shots below so you could get a sense of the humour, laughter, and personalities of this awesome family!

And, just so you don’t think we’re completely cheesy on our own, the title “It’s Amore” parallels the song that plays when you open Ragazzi’s website – we were linking the two… smart, huh? Enjoy!

Let’s start with an awesome pizza toss between the two original Pizza Boys!

This image below should have a photo caption contest, any suggestions?

Cheesy moment: A heart-shaped pizza

Cheesy moment: Yes, the initials had to go on too

Andrea laughing at Jason’s cheesy moments.

Andre saying the pizza is for him and Jason, not Andrea. haha.

Cheesy Moment: Jason proving the pizza is for his lovely fiance, AndREEa.

Jason’s hilarious Dad:

Doesn’t this just say: I am so proud of my kids!

YUM!

The best part: Eating it! This is where the pics of stop – we were too busy eating!

Thanks again to Aadil for helping us out! Here he is squished behind us in the kitchen!!

For now, check out these awesome shots we rocked in Edmonton’s Mill Creek ravine!

Thanks again to Aadil for helping us out with the shoot!! (see him in action below)

After hitting up the snowy trails of an obliging golf course, we headed to downtown Sylvan to drive out onto the frozen lake. There were a few other brave souls out on the ice, including skaters, quadders, ice-fishers, and cops patrolling the three. Derek’s son, Jakob, also joined us at the shoot in order to grab a few fun family photos, and after he’d had a chance to warm up from the frigid wind and temps, he had a blast on the ice.

Here are a few of our favourites from the day, we hope you enjoy the crisp, clear light in these snowy shots!
