Something I really enjoy doing on a wedding day, is trying to capture a unique bridal portrait, when the bride isnt even aware that I am doing it! I grabbed this favourite of the bride as she stepped out of the room after having her veil put on.

The Silk Purse - image by Trident Photography
What separates the real photographers from the guys who bought a nice camera? The ability to create an image. I am not merely talking about taking a nice picture, anyone can do that when the conditions are right. I am talking about “turning a sows ear into a silk purse” so to speak. This is about creativity in composition, location, and lighting. Here is an example of a shot I made in the tiny bathroom at the hotel.

Studio Bloom Bouquet by Picture That Photography
Flowers are an important wedding day decision as they are in so many photographs, and help enhance your color scheme and wedding style. We fell in love with this bouquet from Studio Bloom. It is so soft and original with little spots of color.

Perfect Winter Wedding Bliss - photo by Night and Day Photography
Okay, we all know I love winter… but seriously, what could be more perfect that photos in the perfect undisturbed snow for your winter wedding. Granted, I do recommend having an indoor location for photos as well, but by embracing the winter – you can get something so awesome. This bride was actually warmer than her groom. She had the big hooded cape, mittens with hand warmers in them, and big boots on under her dress. Talk about prepared!
This photo was taken at the Hotel MacDonald – a great place for both indoor photos and outdoor photos. The private garden allows for river valley views, and crowd control is usually not too much of a problem. It’s also easy to run in and out to warm up!

This was one of my favourite portraits of the bride & groom at their Banff wedding… scenery, simple and sweet!

Stephanie and David didn’t want their guests to wait around between the ceremony and reception while they had photos taken – they wanted to get the party started! We saved the best for last, and did most of their portraits the day after their wedding. It was great because David already had the tux, and they were relaxed after the wedding day.

In an Antique Car - By Picture That Photography
One of our favorite photographs from Melinda and Jason’s wedding is this one, the two of them in an antique car. This vintage look really worked with the ruffly dress Melinda chose! The vintage look in photographs is beautiful and timeless.

Wedding reception real soon, and still contemplating a unique centre piece? I absolutely loved the inukshuks on the table at Calgary’s Westin Hotel (in honour of this being an Olympic year).

If you’re willing to drive a bit further afield than Jasper or Banff, Waterton National Park holds some amazingly beautiful views and a great backdrop for a mountain wedding. Consdier the Bayshore Inn for a lake-side ceremony

Pre wedding photos - by Trident Photography
Pre wedding photography can be used for many things, the guest book, a nice informal portrait to hang on your wall, or even your personalized invitations. Many photographers will even credit your engagement session toward the wedding if you just want to test drive a photographer before booking the wedding with them.

Edmonton Engagement Photography - Photo by Trident Photography
A good way to get a feel for your photographer is to have some engagement photography done. This gives you the opportunity to work together in advance and build your relationship before the big day.

Strike! - by Picture That Photography
Christine & Andrew first laid eyes on each other when invited out by friends to go blowing! It was so much fun to hit a bowling alley for some of their wedding photos. We love incorporating parts of a couple’s history into their wedding photos. It makes the photos that much more meaningful and special!

Baby Jake by Night and Day Photography
Weddings are usually only the beginning of a relationship between you and your photographer! There are many reasons to get professional photographs taken, from maternity, babies, kids, graduation, anniversaries, or even buying your first goat, or entering your first sumo wrestling competition etc… so don’t throw away that business card yet just because the wedding has passed! Party it up, and remember it with great pictures!!!!

In the past year, I’d say this is the most unique wedding band that I had seen a bride have. I thought it was absolutely gorgeous!
