Sneak peeks of recent wedding photography in Edmonton, Alberta – photographed by Bruce & Sarah Clarke from Moments in Digital Photography.

Jelena & Arion – Aspen Country Hills Wedding
We’re back after what seems like some time away from blogging. Today we’re excited to share some highlights from Jelena & Arion’s wedding that took place in August at the Aspen Country Hills wedding venue in Central Alberta. Aspen Country Hills is one of the newer venues that has popped up over the past couple of years and it offers a beautiful one-stop shop for couples including getting ready rooms, indoor and outdoor ceremony locations, on-site camping, and a beautiful indoor reception venue. The property also offers plenty of great locations for photography and by not having to drive anywhere, it provides the couple with more time to relax and enjoy the day with their friends and family. Enjoy these highlights from Jelena & Arion’s big day.

Backyard Wedding in Calgary – Jamie & Thomas

As things in Alberta begin to open up once again, we’re excited to be back photographing a variety of events including weddings. Today we’re excited to share a few sneak peeks from Jamie & Thomas’s intimate backyard wedding in Calgary that we photographed recently. Like most small businesses, referrals are the lifeblood of our business and so we were thrilled when Thomas’s mom Danielle reached out to us after we had first met at Tami & Roland’s wedding that we photographed in Cabo San Lucas in 2019.

Jamie & Thomas originally planned to have their wedding in Hawaii in 2020 but unfortunately, Covid-19 had other plans. They decided to postpone their wedding until the summer of 2021 with the hopes that the pandemic would be over and they could once again gather in large numbers with their friends and family. Unfortunately, when the time came to finalize their venue and pay their final deposits, Alberta was still under health restrictions so rather than postpone again – they decided to pivot one last time and moved the wedding to Jamie’s parent’s backyard.

Despite all the setbacks, their day turned out to be a wonderful affair and the tented setting of Jamie’s parents provided a great backdrop for their closest friends and family members to gather to celebrate with them. Mother Nature also delivered with beautiful weather and thankfully some of the smoke from the forest fires in BC had cleared.

Being big Harry Potter fans, their decor featured several elements inspired by the books and movies and there was also a special appearance by Jamie & Thomas’s cat Dobby, who served as ring bearer. Guests enjoyed a custom Blue Hawaiian cocktail after the ceremony along with an amazing pickle bar that Jamie and her family put together.

Special thanks to Haley Erdegard for driving down to Calgary to second-shoot with me and a big shout out to all the great vendors who pulled together to make Jamie & Thomas’s day a special one including Cheryl from Something Borrowed Beauty Hair & Makeup and the team from Simply Elegant Corp who looked after all of the decor, outdoor tent, florals, and catering.

Intimate Backyard Wedding in Edmonton – Bella & Alex

In the whirlwind that was 2020, we somehow forgot to share Bella & Alex’s intimate backyard wedding in Edmonton. Like most couples, Bella & Alex had planned on a big wedding and reception with all of their friends and family in attendance. Unfortunately, Covid-19 had other plans so, after a few postponements, they decided to alter their plans and move forward with getting married in their friend’s backyard surrounded by their immediate family and a few of their closest friends.

They chose to have their ceremony & reception at a friend’s house in West Edmonton. Bella got ready upstairs while Alex waited patiently downstairs and greeted their guests as they arrived. Starrly Brown provided the hair and makeup services and Bella looked exquisite in her wedding dress from Novelle Bridal.

Their friend’s backyard provided a beautiful setting for their ceremony and a nearby trail and park provided a beautiful backdrop for photos of the lovely couple. After photos were done, everyone moved indoors for toasts and a privately catered dinner prepared by Chef Sheridan.

Thanks again to Bella & Alex for inviting us to capture your wedding day!

Fall Wedding in Edmonton – Alissa & Andrew

The 2020 wedding season in Edmonton and around the world has definitely provided its fair share of challenges and obstacles to couples looking to tie the knot in the middle of a global pandemic. For many couples, Covid-19 caused many couples to postpone or significantly alter their original wedding plans in order to comply with the ever-changing health regulations handed down by the government.

That was the case for Alissa & Andrew who had originally planned to get married back in June but ended up postponing their wedding until the end of September and reduced the number of guests that they were able to invite to their reception. Despite the challenges and setbacks, they couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day for their fall wedding in Edmonton to tie the knot. Their ceremony was held in Sherwood Park at Bethel Lutheran Church and afterward, we headed to a nearby park for family photos. The timing for outdoor photos could not have been better as the leaves had fully changed and were thankfully still attached to the trees.

After family photos, we headed down into Mill Creek Ravine for photos with the wedding party. Alissa & Andrew really wanted to get a few photos near some of the upgraded footbridges that have been installed throughout the ravine in the past couple of years so we found a great spot that was also not too far of a drive from their reception location in Beaumont. After a few hours of bridal formals, we made our way out to Beaumont for their wedding reception at the Coloniale Golf Club.

Thanks again for inviting us to capture your day and for giving us the opportunity to work alongside some other great vendors who helped make your vision a reality. Also thanks to Lyndsay from Minted Photography for being my second shooter. Enjoy this sneak peek from Alissa & Andrew’s fall wedding in Edmonton.

Jessica and Aaron’s Covid-19 Wedding in Edmonton

What a crazy year 2020 has been for Edmonton wedding photographers & couples trying to tie the knot. It feels like forever since we last shared a wedding with our audience but we’re excited to finally share Jessica & Aaron’s wedding day with you.

We first met Jessica & Aaron a few years ago when we photographed Clarence & Eisen’s wedding. They really loved our photography and enjoyed the experience of working with us so as soon as Aaron proposed to Jessica, we were one of the first vendors they called to book.

Fast forward to 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic threw a few wrenches into their plans but it didn’t stop them from celebrating with their closest friends and family in a socially distanced and safe way. While the day felt a bit different with masks, social distancing and plenty of hand sanitizer, they made sure everyone enjoyed themselves and their day went off without a hitch.

Their ceremony was held at St. Vital Parish in downtown Beaumont. After the ceremony, we swung by their favourite McDonald’s where they had their very first date to enjoy a quick lunch a take a few candid photos. A light rainstorm in the afternoon disrupted our plans to shoot outdoors so we headed downtown to our new studio on 104th Street for photos with the bridal party and some of their furry friends. Afterward, we headed back over to the southside for their intimate reception and tea ceremony. Special thanks to my friend Eileen Patel from Retrospekt Photography for being my amazing second shooter!

Enjoy this sneak peek from their special day and stay tuned for more sneak peeks as we roll into fall.

As always, it takes an amazing team to pull off a wedding and we had the pleasure of working alongside some of Edmonton’s finest wedding vendors.
