Paul & Joanna's Special Day


Paul and Joanna's unique marriage ceremony took place in a subterranean church, which was mostly illuminated by the light of their very obvious love for one another. During the ceremony, there was an amusing point when the ring-bearer - the bride's younger brother - substituted the wedding bands with the plastic rings from some pop bottles! The laughter which this generated only added to the great feelings and merriment from that day.



The last weekend of August was a lovely sunny day, so after the couple exchanged vows, we went to take photographs in the shadow of the pyramids! No, we didn't go to Egypt but to Edmonton's Muttart Conservatory. Looking at the pictures, I can totally understand how this sweet, fun, and playful couple can't help but smile! My best wishes to you both!

Love, Helga.

Wedding at Ross Haven



This past summer, I had the privilege to photograph one of my close friends' weddings. This wasn't your standard wedding, though! Following an early start to the day, watching the bride's mother making the wedding cake (with a sunflower theme!) and the girls (five sisters!) prepare, we went to Ross Haven Bible Camp, the site of the ceremony, where a hot day and many people awaited. After the boys arrived by speedboat, the wedding of Joƫlle and Hans got underway, which ended up being a very touching and romantic ceremony, all officiated by her grandfather.



Thanks to the beautiful couple for allowing me to photograph such a beautiful occasion! Good luck and much love to you both!
