Wedding Photographer Articles

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!

Leanne and Stephen craved a wedding that was intimate, sincere, and most importantly, in the country.

Held at the groom’s farm in Pickardville, Alberta, Leanne and Stephen were betrothed at an outdoor ceremony, surrounded by their friends and family. The bride and groom had a strong personal connection with the land, as it was where the groom was raised and the bride was proposed to.

The farm offered no shortage for picture locations, and Leanne & Stephen enjoyed exploring the landscape with their photographers. From dusty dirt roads, to swing sets, horse stables to the very wheat field where Stephen asked for Leanne’s hand, each location served as a beautiful backdrop.

The affable coupled endured heat and intense sun with no complaint…they were a joy to work with!
Congratulations Leanne & Stephen on a beautiful wedding!

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!

Randy and Christa chose Jasper, Alberta to hold their wedding rather than their native Fort MacMurray, and their choice paid off. Their nuptials were held at a beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park.

Having such a gorgeous landscape as a shooting location, a handsome couple, and a talented photographer certainly makes for stunning photographs. Multiple locations throughout the national park were used, including both the aforementioned Pyramid Lake and the Maligne lookout. Needless to say, Randy and Christa were impressed and happy with their wedding photos!

Instant Memories would like to thank Randy and Christa for the opportunity to work with such an amazing couple on such a special day!

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.
