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:

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:

Curtis & Candice’s Winter Wedding!

Candice and Curtis brought the heat again, just as they did so well in their engagement shoot. The heat was definitely needed as temperatures dropped to a freezing cold -20°C.

It was a pleasure to be part of their wedding by capturing their moments as the day flew by.

All the best to you two and we hope you enjoy some of our favourite photos from your day:

Mike & Erin’s Wedding Day O’Fun!

Dan & Rachel — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 07:40:55 +0000

We’ve been anticipating shooting Mike & Erin’s wedding day ever since we shot their EPIC summer-love engagement session. These two are absolutely loving – and fun-loving to boot! Their bridal party kept us laughing, kept us entertained with a travelling dog that joined us (yes, completely covered in lake water and wanting lots of pets and cuddles), and they kept up with us as we hiked and hiked for these awesome formals. We think all that effort was worth it (and the pair of socks Rachel sacrificed for Erin’s sore feet from hiking in heels, haha).

We hope you like these pics, Mike and Erin, and we hope nothing but the best for the two of you in your married future!

One of Aadil’s ceremony shots of Erin:

This little puppy followed us EVERYWHERE…well, not so much a puppy and definitely not little, but fun nonetheless!

Mike’s ring fits right in with the fall foliage – awesome!

Gotta love reflections!

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!

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!
