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.

Wedding in a Winter Wonderland

Perfect Winter Wedding Bliss - photo by Night and Day Photography

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!

Day After Session

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.

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.

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

Take the Photographer for a Test Drive

Pre wedding photos - by Trident Photography

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.

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

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!

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!!!!

Why not think outside the box (and outside the country!) Amita & Abhee’s cruise wedding was so relaxing and a great bonding experience for the families. It’s a unique approach to a wedding that none of your friends will have done!

Let the love move you…

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don’t want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.

Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don’t need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don’t want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.

You’re asking me will my love grow,
I don’t know, I don’t know.
Stick around, and it may show,
But I don’t know, I don’t know.

Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don’t want to leave her now.
You know I believe and how.

–George Harrison

Wishing you happiness, joy, and laughter!

Pre-Ceremony Formals

A pre-ceremony picture - by Picture That Photography

Usually brides and grooms take all of their photographs after the ceremony.  Jocelyn and Joshua opted to take their photos before the ceremony instead.  After their ceremony and receiving line, they were able to visit with guests and go straight into the reception and party time!  Jocelyn and Joshua did not regret their choice and loved “getting the party started” right after the ceremony!
