Ran & Elisa’s wedding in late December at the Santa Maria Goretti in Edmonton was a true celebration.  It was the kind of wedding I love to go to with lots of fun and sincere emotions.  The highlights for me were the fantastic speeches during the reception and of course the incredible dinner.  I already expected this wedding to have excellent food because Elisa’s family owns a well-known italian restaurant in Edmonton, Zenari’s.

Kristen first contacted me in 2009 just before Matt was deployed to Afghanistan.  She wanted to arrange for a special photo session that they can share while he was away.   Often we forget as photographers how important our work is and what it can mean to our clients.  I’m so glad to have been able to do that session for them.  After Matt returned Kristen again emailed me to let me know that they were engaged.  I’m so happy to be a part of their wedding and loved every minute of it.  We brought the photo booth for this wedding and Matt & Kristen’s guests put it to use for the entire evening.  You can view more from Matt & Kristen’s wedding on the wedding obsession where it was featured.  Kristen’s dress was purchased at Novelle Bridal.  

Dobry & Gillian’s wedding was in beautiful Jasper National Park at the Pyramid Lake Resort.  Their families showed what was one of the most emotional speeches I’ve seen yet.  I adore emotional weddings.  It’s so exciting seeing the facial expressions build while I’m looking through my camera.
