Shazma & Matt // Wedding Teaser

June 8, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Wow. Where to begin? Our weekend was completely packed with Shazma and Matt time, and I don’t think we would have had it any other way! These two must be just exhausted today, because they were going even harder than us the whole time! They didn’t even get a chance to peek at the photos during the reception they were so busy, so I’m going to post a ton for them today!!

We started off with the mendhi on Friday. Shazma’s design looked just unbelievably amazing!

 Then it was time for the pithi. This design was created with coloured rice under Shazma’s chair.

Shazma’s friends and family fed her sweets, showered her with rose petals, and gave her good wishes for her marriage.

 Matt’s friends, on the other hand, did this to him….

 I think this may be my favourite groom portrait ever, lol!! Poor Matt, he smelled so terrible!! I think they got him with salad dressing, peas, sprinkles, pop, peanut butter, ketchup, whipped cream, jello powder, honey, and a bunch of other such things. But he was a good sport, and got to hug all his buddies at the end, so he got his revenge.

 Then the wedding day!! Shazma’s shoes were just beautiful.

Oh, and so was she :)

Love this ring shot Rob took. So simple but gorgeous.

 This was Shazma’s reaction when she looked out the window and saw Matt and his groomsmen waiting for the girls to arrive.

 We took this awesome bridal party around a parking lot downtown, and it was crazy fun!

Then it was Shazma & Matt time.

 When we were driving around scouting locations for these cuties, I said to Rob “Let’s do something EPIC for them”. Then we found this spot. And we did something epic.

photo#photo_1890

And that’s not even the half of all the crazy fun we had with them! You’ll have to wait for the full wedding post for the rest. But trust me, much more to come on this blog this week!!

Shazma and Matt, you guys are amazing, thank you for such a fabulous weekend!

Tons o’ love,

Lauren & Rob  :)

Jamie & Jon // Wedding Teaser Teaser

June 22, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Ok, so this is a teaser for the teaser post! Right now we’re on our way out the door to do a shoot. Since Jamie is such a big blog fan, I’m assuming she’s been checking all morning, so I don’t want to keep her waiting all day! So here is one image to tease you, and then later today I’ll post a bunch more :)

Enjoy!

Jamie & Jon // Wedding Teaser

June 22, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Ok, I’m finally getting this up! Wow, it’s been a busy day, but I’m determined not to miss my Monday post :)

Geez. Now I have to write about Jon and Jamie, and that’s pretty incredibly hard. These two are some of the most beautiful people both inside and out. During their speeches, when everyone was saying all these ridiculously nice things about them, you could just see the whole wedding party nodding their heads in agreement. These are the people who live up to those platitudes every single day. They took ridiculously great care of us, and honestly I can’t think of any place I would have rather been on Saturday than hanging out with these two.

I think Jon will dig this portrait. He’s sitting in his Bobcat (recall that he was the dude who did our amazing landscaping!)

 Love this one. I hope Jon listened to that sign :)

photo#photo_1953

 

photo#photo_1954

 Awwwww. This is Mr. McDuff, Jamie’s dog. When we asked them if there were any special shots they’d like us to get during the wedding day, he was the only thing on the list :) But look how cute he is!!!

photo#photo_1955

 Jamie’s dad the first time he saw her in the dress. Man that guy looks proud.

photo#photo_1956

 And then it was Jon’s turn to see her. He looks pretty smitten I’d say. I love these little moments during the ceremony.

photo#photo_1957

And then fun times! This bridal party was hilarious and kept us laughing the whole day.

photo#photo_1958

 

photo#photo_1959

 The University of Alberta installed some new rocks near Saskatchewan Drive. So we made good use of them!!

photo#photo_1961

 

photo#photo_1962

Ok, I had to throw a couple photos of the flowers up here because they were STUNNING! They were created by La Piazza Dasee and were truly one of the most beautiful bouquets ever (even though I think it weighed roughly 100 pounds ;)

photo#photo_1950

And speaking of flowers, that gorgeous parasol Jamie is holding was also created by them, and is filled with white orchids. Isn’t this just the epitome of a fairytale wedding??

photo#photo_1960

And of course, a little bit of fun and awesomeness thrown in!! Mad props to Jamie for being so fearless!!And for these two for being such awesome snugglers :)

photo#photo_1963

And finally, a true one-in-a-lifetime moment. We snuck out during the reception for some photos around the gorgeous grounds of Red Tail Landing Golf Course and this little bunny kept coming up and checking us out. Then he jumped past these two creating a pretty nifty shot :)

photo#photo_1951

Whew!! That was quite the teaser post! But I hope you all enjoyed it, especially all the cute animals :)

Have a fantastic evening, and keep coming back this week because we have a ridiculous number of shoots we’ve been doing lately and can’t wait to share them!!

Kristin & Michael // Wedding

July 20, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Wow, what a day Saturday was! We started off with scorching hot weather, which then turned into one of the craziest storms Edmonton has seen in a long time! But nothing could stop these two from having a wonderful day, and being ridiculously good looking. Not even 110 km/h winds.

 Um, nuts right? It was not planned at all to get that room, but was just one of those amazing twists of fate. And to quote Kristin, who bears an intensely uncanny resemblance to the star, “Audrey Hepburn is like my religion”.

 Immediately after the first kiss. Such an intensely intensely sweet moment. I could look at this image for hours.

 Kristin’s little sister. Camera shy at first, but she quickly caught the bug :) How much do you adore those freckles?

 What a truly perfect day, insane storm and all. And yes, that cake tasted just as good as it looked :)

Angie & Jordan // Wedding

August 25, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Two kids from Flin Flon, Manitoba.  Making it happen in Edmonton. I really can’t say enough awesome things about these two. Travelers, cat lovers, with stellar taste in music, and just way too much fun to hang out with. It was truly a privilege to get to spend their wedding day with them.

 Angie’s mom watches as the veil is put on. How can you not get a lil’ misty eyed?

 This is what we call “manly hand holding”. Grrrrrrr.

photo#photo_2433

 Aren’t they just ridiculously good looking? I mean, seriously. They’re like a triple threat.

 Gotta throw one in from the gorgeous ceremony!!

photo#photo_2446

 

And the super cute first dance.

photo#photo_2429

 Haha! Rob forgot to tell us all that this was meant to be a silly face photo.

photo#photo_2430

And finally, a couple scans of polaroids I took. Still trying to find a way to get the scan to reflect how incredible these look in person. But I’m getting close :)

Our New Portfolios

December 16, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Well, I’ve been working away at these for a long time now. As I’m sure all photographers know, revamping your portfolio is always way more work than you expect it to be. But it’s always worth it. For us, we have a renewed energy and drive after seeing all that we’ve done in the past year!

It’s not completely finished yet, as I still have to put together a couple more categories, and hopefully get them all linked together, but I wanted to share what I’ve done with you lovely blog readers! For those wondering, I made these portfolios myself! Big thanks to my friend Kyle Fox for his help with some of the CSS stuff!!

First up, our Wedding Portfolio: http://www.robandlaurenphotographers.com/weddingportfolio/

And a couple teaser shots:

 

And secondly, as many of you know, we took up shooting film this year. Our Film Portfolio is less extensive, but hopefully still interesting! There is a lot of new stuff in there, since we just finished scanning it all!

Here’s the link: http://www.robandlaurenphotographers.com/filmportfolio/

And the teaser shots:

Note: You will need to scroll sideways to view our portfolio. I know it’s a bit of a hassle, but we find it’s the best way to display both horizontal, vertical, and irregularly sized images! 

We’d love to hear your feedback! Hope you enjoy, we’re really excited about where our work is going :)

Lauren :)
