Yannick, Cynthia & Mia

Yannick is the genius who refinished my hardwood floors in the studio last year – so it was great to have him back again, and to meet his wife and daughter!

It’s a plethora of dimples!

Yannick is in the Canadian Forces and has been posted back to Quebec in the fall, so they wanted an “Alberta” picture with cowboy hats and cattle!

We went into the studio for some natural light photos as well …

Rachelle, Travis & the adorable little cowboys

How freakin’ cute is this family? We met in Vermilion for a quick family session a couple of weeks again, in between rain showers. I had so much fun with these cute little cowboys!

After the wedding party formals, we all headed to Harvest to Home for the family & bridal party supper. If you’ve never been to Harvest to Home, you have to check it out – it’s an amazing store of all things cooking, with local delicacies, healthy take-home suppers, cooking classes – you name it! Check their website at www.harvesttohomemarket.ca for more information!

Anyway – I LOVE wedding food. But this? This was so above and beyond what I usually get to eat at a wedding. It was AMAZING. The presentation, atmosphere, and food were all top notch. I wish I could eat there every week!

If you’re not hungry right now, you don’t have a pulse.

After the amazing family meal, it was reception time! The venue was the Wild Rose Pavillion at the Lloyd Exhibition Grounds. Glamour & Glitz did a great job with the decor.

Katie is the kind of bride who doesn’t forget anyone or anything. This wedding had the best kids table ever! Besides the usual coloring books, there were also dress-up animal noses, tiaras, fake tattoos, balloons, foam stickers … all the kids at the reception had a blast!

Gorgeous cake! By Cakes by Carmen

Centerpiece florals by Grower Direct.

Maid of Honor and Best Man … or as I like to call them, Best Dude and Best Lady.

Writing the thank you list on the fly!

In order to get the bride and groom the kiss, guests had to compose a poem or a rap. So there was some freestyle rapping happening …

During the slideshow …

First dance

So they’re slow dancing all sweet and normal ….

… and then the music changes, and they bust out a dance montage!

Daddy/daughter dance. I almost always cry during this part of the wedding day!

Cutting that awesome cake!

Vermilion, Alberta engagement photographer – Jerri & Mitch’s fun fair session!

Jennifer — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:36:35 +0000

I’ve wanted to do an engagement session at the Vermilion Fair for years – so when Jerri got engaged recently, I knew she would be the perfect person for this idea – her family is synonymous with the Fair! I pitched the concept to her, and she and Mitch were totally up for it. We had a ton of fun!

This family was AWESOME! We met at Lakeland College in Vermilion on July 27 for a portrait session. I had so much fun shooting this group!

Lloydminster wedding photographer – Lis & Calvin’s wedding

Jennifer — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:44:16 +0000

This July 23, 2011 wedding was awesome! Lis and Calvin are such a cute couple, and so in love.

The ceremony took place at Southridge Community Church in Lloydminster. I arrived a little early, hoping to catch the bride getting into her dress pre-ceremony. I lucked out with the timing and got to bond with the girls as they put the finishing touches on!

Lis is from Guatemala, and her parents and sister were able to be there for her wedding – and her mom laced her into her dress. Always such a special moment!

How gorgeous is this bride? Seriously!

It was cool to see some Guatemalen traditions incorporated into the wedding. This was the last prayer, Lis’ parents praying with her just before the ceremony.

Cutie pie flower girls!

Calvin’s first look!

This was another nice tradition I haven’t seen before – the couple kneeling, and both sets of parents on the pulpit for a prayer.

Instead of a sand ceremony, the couple combined coffee beans and wheat – symbols of their cultures.

Right after the ceremony, the couple cut the cake and shared with all of their friends and family who came to the ceremony.

It was actively raining here, but this wedding party was still up for outdoor photos!

The reception was back at Southridge Community Church. It was small, intimate, and gorgeous!

Seriously, how cute are these two? Hallie and Chase met up with me yesterday in Vermilion for an engagement session. Love them! They were so fun to work with. Hallie has the best smile!

Congratulations on your engagement – Hallie, you are going to be a GORGEOUS bride!

Jenna met me at the beautiful Vermilion Provincial Park yesterday for some portraits – complete with her handsome two year old black lab, Cash! Cash and Jenna were both total rock stars for their photos.

Thanks Jenna – it was a pleasure to hang out with you and Cash!
