Laurie & Joe // Teaser

May 25, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Since we were crazy busy today I wasn’t able to get these puppies up early, so I gave you a few extra ;)

Laurie and Joe had one of those perfect days. They were calm and relaxed, the weather was beautiful, everything ran smoothly, and they just really enjoyed themselves. We were so so so happy to have been a part of it all! They also happened to have one of the most awesome bridal parties EVER! We made those girls walk down a huge hill of gravel in their heels, and they never even hesitated, they were actually excited about it! To all of you, thanks for making our day awesome.

 Haha, I LOVE shots like this next one of the boys. Joe is poking his best man in the cheek. I have no idea why, but I think it’s hilarious!

Now if you happen to follow me on Twitter or am my Facebook friend you would have gotten a sneaky peeky of this image a day early! Yes, it does pay to be our online friend!!

Joe has ups.

Aren’t they just the cutest. Yum.

Fav ring shot EVER!!! Yay!

Laurie and Joe, I hope you know that you’re the best. Ditto to your awesome bridal party! Hugs to you all! And hugs to our readers, thanks for waiting for this one!

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.

photo#photo_1891

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

photo#photo_1894

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

photo#photo_1895

 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.

photo#photo_1896

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

photo#photo_1882

Oh, and so was she :)

photo#photo_1903

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

photo#photo_1884

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

photo#photo_1885

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

photo#photo_1897

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

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!)

photo#photo_1949

 

photo#photo_1952

 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!!

Barbara & Anthony // Wedding

August 4, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

Well, here we are. A “teaser” post of Barbara and Anthony! And it only took me all day to prepare :)

I’m gonna keep it short and sweet on the commentary, since I know I’ll get carried away if I start!

 Barbara and her posse.

photo#photo_2329

It was a very highly emotional day.

photo#photo_2330

 I can’t even look at this one without tearing up. This was Anthony’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time. I don’t know if anyone had dry eyes after seeing him break down in tears. As he said in his speech “Real men cry”. Amen!

photo#photo_2331

They only had eyes for each other during that walk.

 Anthony and his father.

photo#photo_2333

 This here is where I lost my composure. It was a hand ceremony, that was beautifully performed by their marriage commissioner, Ian McClelland.

photo#photo_2335

 Their ceremony was held in the outdoor gazebo at the Chateau Louis Hotel. We were treated to the most perfect light ever. The weather smiled on Barbara and Anthony, that’s for sure. It rained for about an hour, precisely when we needed it to. And it stopped, precisely when we needed it to.

photo#photo_2353

Hahahahah! Rob was really getting into his hug with Anthony :) (He wants me to let everyone know that he was just goofing off for the camera….right….. ;)

photo#photo_2339

These girls are some of my closest friends in the whole wide world. It was such an honor to get to photograph them. Aren’t they just ridiculously beautiful?

photo#photo_2340

The guys weren’t too shabby either :)

Well, I’m just gonna leave it there, because I’m getting a bit misty eyed just thinking about what a wonderful day it was. Banthony (that’s the name I made up for them during the photo session, as I got tired of constantly saying Barbara & Anthony), you know we love you tons. Hope Jamaica is treating you well!

Huge heaps of love,

Lauren & Rob

Michelle & BJ // Wedding

August 10, 2009 // Posted by lauren in

A year and a half ago, while we were traveling India, Michelle & BJ booked us for their wedding. We had never met them, and they hadn’t even been to our place until last week. But that doesn’t change the fact that they are kind of our couple soulmates. They are an azn/gwai lo duo who love movies, video games, and just generally being ridiculously cool. BJ introduced us to some of our fav TV shows of all time (Sarah Conner Chronicles anyone? Anyone?). And Michelle and I pretty much have the exact same sense of humor. We were so excited to get to be there on their big day, and can’t wait for more wine and appie dates in the future!

Seat yourselves, because these images might just knock you over. Go.
