Love in a Junk Yard - by Picture That Photography
We recently photographed Nickie and Brandon in a colorful metal scrap yard, and loved the results! There were many textures and colors to work with. This just goes to show that what others deem as junk may actually be really photogenic!

Custom cake toppers look like the bride and groom
I love these cake toppers! They were actually custom made to look like the bride and groom. Complete with matching dress, suit and tie, flowers, even the hair matches the bride’s and groom’s. What a great idea!

Hanging out in the Back Alley - photo by Night and Day Photography
Gone are the days when people regularly paid hundreds of dollars to have photos taken in a garden. Yes, people still do, but not like they used to. Photo locations can be found anywhere you care to look. Of course, it’s nice to have a scenic backdrop, but with all the amazing things you can do with lighting it’s nice to take a break from the typical scenery and take some edgier photos as well. This photo was taken in a back alley in Canmore and makes for some nice variety from the rest of the spectacular mountain vista shots of the day. Why not have both anyways?

Keeping Dry and Getting a Great Shot in the Rain - photo by Night and Day Photography
If you are looking for a photo location in Stony Plain or near Spruce Grove, the Rotary Park in Stony Plain is a great place! It has quite a bit there for photos. There is a gazebo, bridge, paths, trees, great green space, a pond, this building AND a railway track complete with a couple cars. It’s awesome! We were really impressed with the variety when we shot this wedding in Spruce Grove last year. It’s worth a look if you are planning a wedding in the area.

Wedding Dress - Image by CU Photography
So, the big day has come and gone in a flash. Maybe you have done a Trash the Dress session with your Edmonton Wedding Photographer, and although your dress is not trashed, it could use a good cleaning. And of course, you don’t want to trust your dress to just anyone, right?
Well, through my years in the industry, I have come to know some people in the cleaning industry. I can safely suggest The Press Gallery as one option for you. In speaking with the owner, Bernie Robitaille, I was informed that in 20 years in the business, he has never had an issue with a client’s wedding dress.
What’s really great about The Press Gallery, is that their prices are competitive the other options out there. Add in world class service, and you’ve got a winning combination.

Wedding photos at Ram River Falls Kananaskis
Why not hang out at one of your favourite places on your wedding day and have your photos done there? That’s what this bride and groom did. Their wedding took place earlier in the day, reception was actually a late lunch which was amazing and hosted at their favourite restaurant. That allowed them to spend the rest of the day, just the two of them taking photos in their favourite park: Ram River Falls in Kanananskis, and they had the evening to them selves. It was awesome and no one else will have photos like they do!

Greeting the Bridegroom in the lobby of the Marriott - photo by Night and Day Photography
Few places can boast the facility that the Marriott at the River Cree Resort and Casino can. This place is new, modern, beautiful and can accommodate anything you need. You can have an open fire, you can take over the lobby, the parking lot, and have one great party for your wedding. This photo was taken as the brides family waited to greet the grooms family. It was an awesome party, the food was fantastic, the ceremony room was quickly turned over into a part of the banquet hall while the guests had cocktails in the foyer. The Marriott really does and outstanding job!
Personal Touches - photo by Night and Day Photography
Adding some personal touches to your wedding can make everything more special. There are many ways to personalize your bouquet that go beyond specific flower type or colour. Why not add a special family heirloom like a broach to a ribbon hanging off the bouquet, or wrap a locket with a photo of a person whose memory is special to you around the stems? Something as simple as the bride and grooms initials into the bouquet can give you something truly unique and personal.

One of the most common groom practices that I’ve come to see, is the groom outside smoking a quality cigar with some of his best friends. All too often, though, I see that the guys have chosen the largest smokes that they could get their hands on, and fail to realize just how much time they would require for something like that.
That being said, you may want to allow your groom a bit of time outside to smoke a small cigar, which will give him a chance sit back and reflect on the day’s events thus far, and tie that memory in with any cigars he smokes in the future. You just never know.
With the 2010 wedding season fast appoaching I am pleased to say I finally got delivery of my newest camera. The Canon 1D Mk IV is Canons latest and greatest professional body. I’m looking forward to making use of it’s unbelievable low light capability at the next reception.

Winter wedding photos inside an old rail station - photo by Night and Day Photography
When planning a winter wedding, it’s important to take photos outside if you can, but equally important is having an indoor location so your wedding party doesn’t freeze in their formal wear out in the sub zero temperatures. lol There are great places everywhere for photos. These photos were taken inside an old train station, and the employees there were all too happy to oblige this bride’s request to take photos there. In general, people will do almost anything for a girl in a wedding dress if she asks! So when you are thinking about taking indoor photos, don’t exclude your favourite restaurant (get permission in advance), or that old building you have seen in passing. Remember if you are thinking about taking advantage of an office building or mall, you will need to have wavers signed in advance though.
