Dustyn & Collette’s Cool Summer Wedding

Dan & Rachel — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:35:26 +0000

Dustyn and Collette always seem to have the most interesting things happen during their shoots. First, there was the massive smoke from the forest fires in BC for their Edmonton engagement shoot, and then for their wedding formals we had intense Sherwood Park summer heat, but it was broken up by Collette’s surprise present for Dustyn – a photoshoot on a community hockey rink. A sport that he loves.

So, take a look at the pics we grabbed from their super sweet day, and let me know if the sweaty heat, bug-eaten limbs, and frozen to the rink bum was worth the photos we took!

And, thanks to our second shooter, Aadil, for covering the men in the morning. Here are a few of his shots:

Again, a few more shots from Aadil:

Aadil’s awesome grabs of Dustyn and Collette seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle:

I just love this ring shot! What an awesome bride to make a personalized puck for her new hubby!!

Did we mention we loved this puck? It’s even awesome beaten up!

Super big thanks again to our second shooter and awesome assistant, Aadil, for helping us out!!! Here he is helping during formals:

Colin & Katie – Love To Infinity & Beyond

Dan & Rachel — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:54:55 +0000

I’ve (Rachel) known Katie since…well, forever. I even have a picture of me with her when she is only a few days old. Because of this, I had huge trepidation about shooting her wedding day. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want anyone else to shoot it either, but I was terrified of messing up for someone that means so much to me. Well, it turns out I didn’t have to fear, because I absolutely love their images – and I hope you do too!

Colin and Katie are adorable together, and with the Toy Story line “To Infinity & Beyond” as their wedding tagline, it was easy to see their excitement for their futures together. Their bridal party was an absolute blast, whether they were dancing, golfing, singing, stripping, and anything else crazy they happened to do! We think this couple and their friends are as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.

Thank you, Katie & Colin, for choosing us to shoot your day, and we pray blessings upon the two of you to infinity and beyond.

Dan met the boys out golfing, and we got to play with our rented fisheye lens. Sooooo fun!

Two of Aadil’s awesome reception pics:

Colin & Katie had an awesome idea for a red-carpet-styled photobooth – and even spraypainted a Ken & Barbie for statuettes. Hilarious!

Thanks again to our assistant Aadil!!!

Trevor & Joanna’s Edmonton E-session

Dan & Rachel — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 20:07:06 +0000

Where do you take pictures if you plan on getting married in a colourful and exciting place like Las Vegas? Why, downtown Edmonton of course! The light at dusk in the downtown core helps electrify the normally dull downtown image, and sets its streets a-blazin.

We met this couple the day of the shoot, but since we’d already talked by email, we felt we already knew this fun-loving, awesome couple and we really enjoyed the shoot. They were not shy of kissing in public, sitting in dirty alleys, and willing to wait it out as their crazy photographer jumped into garbage bins to get the shot.

Thank you so much for choosing us to shoot your Edmonton engagement session! We hope you like the pics!

We just want to thank Chris and Crystal again for choosing us to shoot one of the most important days of their relationship so far – we hope you like the pics! Also, thanks again to our assistant Aadil (you can see him and one of his pics below). And, as we hit up the Edmonton’s Fairmont Hotel Macdonald for the reception, we got to see the talent of Jenelle Jamani of Event Planning Headquarters as she beautified the Wedgwood Room.

Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our shots!

We love when our pics show up at weddings! Check out these awesome uses of their engagement pics:

I think this says it all!!!!
