With what was a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Royal Alberta Museum, Paul married Bonnie under a gorgeous fall sky. Those in attendance simply held their breath as Bonnie walked down the aisle, and justifiably so. Bonnie looked stunning in a strapless gown detailed with antique lace, and next to her stood Paul, the handsome groom. To end their ceremony, and symbolize their commitment, the newlyweds release trained doves into the sky.

Portraits were taken after the ceremony, and the grounds at the Royal Alberta Musem and its accompaning Government House held no shortage of beautiful locales. With a handsome couple and phenomenal autumn light, each moment captured was truly spectacular. Their photographs became reminiscent of those from a fashion magazine, as Bonnie could easily be on the cover of Wedding Bells.

Thank you Bonnie & Paul for being such a delight to work with! Best wishes for your bright future!

What could be more perfect for a young couple so completely in love?

Nicole and Curtis are a young, cosmopolitan couple, so using the Whyte Ave area in Edmonton as the stage for their engagement photos was the de facto choice.

Nicole and Curtis are a fantastic couple to work with, as they are a super sweet couple so obviously in love. Fresh from their engagement, Nicole was giddy and elated throughout the entire photo session. Combine that with beautiful autumn colours, great light, and genuine emotions and you have engagement photos that conjure envy.

Shooting in fall also worked well for the couple, as they plan their wedding for March. Fall images definitely contrast spring ones, so Nicole and Curtis will have a plethora of varied photographs!

Congratulations Nicole and Curtis on your engagement! Good luck with all the wedding preparations!

Nela and Devin lucked out on their wedding day!

Stunning bride? Check. Picture perfect weather? Check. Gorgeous bride? Check. Throw in a beautiful location and a talented photographer, and you have wedding photos that turn heads and evoke envy.

Nela and Devin chose to have their portraits taken at Elk Island National Park, and their choice worked well for them. Nela’s bridesmaids looked lovely being photographed in lipstick red dresses while surrounded by a vibrant and green forest. Not to be outdone, Nela looked like a contemporary Snow White in the forest. Her trademark tiara helped complete the look as she elegantly strolled through the park.

Congratulations Nela & Devin on a beautiful wedding!

Classic and timeless was thier wedding, something straight out of an old world romance novel. Angie was a stunning bride down to every last detail, from the hair, the shoes, the bouquet and the glimmer in her eye upon seeing her handsome groom on her wedding day. With emotions so grand they caused the bride to both tremor and tear, Angie and Tim exchanged their nuptials during a beautiful ceremony at Knox Metropolitan Church in Edmonton, Alberta.

Take one cute couple, an uproariously entertaining bridal party, an adorable ring bearer, a stunning ceremony location, an enduring flower girl, and then add an elegant reception, and you have the perfect wedding.

Ashley and Steven were married at a gorgoueous outdoor ceremony at the Devonian Botanical Gardens, just outside of Edmonton. The bride Ashley, who not only was wildly photogenic, but also adored pictures, planned the day accordingly. Formal portraits of the family, the bridal party, and the bride and groom themselves were done at the Devonian Botanical Gardens prior to the outdoor ceremony.

This allowed Ashley and Steven’s wedding photographer to shoot extensively throughout the gardens. Formal portraits were shot in the Japanese garden, a background that could stand up to how elegantely manicured Ashley and her bridesmaids were.

With whimsical Japanese umbrellas to perfectly accentuate a Japanese garden, Amanda married Marc on a beautiful summer’s day in Edmonton.

Theirs was a smaller ceremony and reception, lending an intimate and sincere flavour to their nuptials. The cozy bridal party allowed their photographer to try a multitude of locations throughout the Devonian Botanical Gardens. The brides’ and bridesmaid’s bouquets looked lovely when photographed in an area so abundant with green flora. The elegant and feminine look of their dresses complimented their surroundings with breathtaking harmony.

Having a smaller bridal party meant that Amanda and Marc’s wedding photographer could focus a lot of time on formal portraits of the bride and groom. With the summer light ever changing throughout the course of the day, their photographer was able to create gorgeous and evocative photographs. With varying light and locations used in their photo session, Amanda and Marc have photographs that range from sweetly romantic to energetic, spontaneous to decorous.

Congratulations Amanda and Marc!

With a ceremony that could have easily been ripped from the pages of a fairytale, Shayna and Kurt, along with their darling daughter Eva, were married at the Lily Lake Resort.

It was a stunning ceremony, held outdoors, on the beautiful grounds of the Lily Lake Resort. Every detail was reminiscent of the romantic era. Shayna’s dress resembled that of an elaborate ballgown, complete with a crown of soft curls. Eva, the flower girl and daughter of the couple, was not forgotten as she looked charming in her flower girl dress. To complete their fairy tale, Shayna and Kurt were whisked away in a horse drawn carriage.

Their photographer used the natural landscaping at the resort, along with timeless architecture to achieve a varied and unique photo session. The gorgeous couple looked amazing as they were photographed, and easily could be on the cover of Bride’s magazine.

Congratulations, Shayna and Kurt, on your beautiful new family!

Candace and Daryll got married on May 15, 2009. They had a wonderful time at the Century Casino, where they tied the knot. Our wedding photographer in Edmonton was able to capture the two of them wonderfully.

They were photographed at the Casino as well as the Legislative Building in Edmonton, Alberta.

Instant Memories would like to Congratulate Candace and Daryll on their beautiful marriage.

Dear Instant Memories,
We want you to know that Curtis is the best photographer that every single person at our wedding had ever seen or met. He is so awesome. We had an outdoor winter wedding in the middle of January, and he was more than happy to show up early, in his winter gear, and take picture after picture outside!

He is very fun to be around. Aaron and I, and everyone else, felt very relaxed and confident with Curtis as our photographer. He went into deep snow just so he could get good angles to make all of our wedding day pictures perfect. Our special day turned out beautifully, and Curtis was there to capture and help us make our beautiful moments.

Thank you so much Curtis!!
Catherine and Aaron Mol
