Amanda and Glenn survive the heat!

It was one brutally hot weekend, but nobody seemed to care as Amanda and Glenn's awesome outdoor ceremony was awesome!

This group of girls were multi-talented. Hair and makeup experts galore! Here's something you don't see every wedding... a hair styling train!



The garters!



On goes the veil!



And then the dress!



The ceremony was at the gorgeous Devonian Botanical Gardens!





Thank goodness for shuttles to get us around the park quickly, and under shade!



The "guys" as we called it, which included one "groomsgirl"!



The whole day was just one big silly goof-off fest, which is exactly how I like it!!! =) sweet! This is when the girls were showing their crane kicks a-la Karate Kid.





Glenn about to get his brain rung out... LOL









Then the reception was at the beautiful River Cree Resort, of which Night and Day Photography is the recommended photographer for their high end weddings. woot! That's how Amanda and Glenn found us, which I'm thankful for as they just plain rock! Here is their first dance.



And Glenn got a bit of a performance from Amanda and her bridesmaids! Hahaha it was awesome guys!



BIG props to all of you for knowing how to stay relaxed and be totally silly and a barrel of fun ALL day, every minute. We truly had SUCH a great time! It was nothing short of a fantastic wedding!

In style with Danielle and Heng!

It was to be a busy day with Danielle and Heng, following the Chinese wedding traditions for their celebration!

Danielle was in great spirits in the morning:



And soon the guys arrived where Heng was forced to find a buried key in the un-sodded backyard with only a shovel and a metal detector! He DID manage to find a rusty nail or two in the process.







The off to the Legislature grounds.









And Whyte ave is also great for urban life.









Kinsmen park is also nice!



We stopped in at Tim Horton's for some pictures. Danielle and Heng first met at a Tim Horton's so of course we couldn't skip that!!



Hahaha, what is a reception without embarrassing footage of the bride and groom?



First Dance



Heng diggin' for the garter LOL



We had one heck of a rockin' time with you guys! You throw a great party and are total naturals infront of a camera! It was truly a spectacular day! Thanks *so* much for all the fun guys!!!

Nighttime with Allison and Nate!

Was excited to get together with Allison and Nate for their e-shoot as Allison requested night shooting! I'm totally game for night shooting! I love it! (Hence the reason why "Night" is the first word of our company name!)

















We had a blast! Even though it was probably the coldest night of the summer! Winter jackets in July? What on earth? Thankfully Allison and Nate braved the cold anyhow.

Vintage style with Alya and Randall!

I'd like to give some serious kudos to Alya. Her makeup artist simply decided to just 'not show up' the morning of the wedding. So Alya got her makeup done by someone else whom she was unfamiliar with. Stayed totally calm.

The comes the ceremony, and the marriage commissioner forgets to show up! After many phone calls he eventually made it... about two hours late!! Both Randall and Alya never lost their cool, and managed to still smile and enjoy the wait.

So THANK YOU for being so patient and wonderful to work with. Your great attitude only makes my job much easier and less stressful.

Now, on to the photos! The theme of the wedding was vintage! It was awesome! Alya's vintage style dress was gorgeous, and the guys looked awesome in their morning suits.

Alya still managing to be happy through her makeup session, despite being stood up!



Following Russian tradition, there are games the bridesmaids put the groom through in order to meet his bride. If he fails any of the tests, he pays money. (If you are thinking it's just like Chinese tradition, you're right!) Randall had to guess which baby picture was Alya. Can you guess?



Then we went to the Legislature with the bridal party!



Pretty flowers for pretty girls.





Ceremony Ring exchange



Then to the U of A for shots of Alya and Randall.











In keeping with the vintage theme, the reception was at Fort Edmonton Park!



As Alya is a photographer herself, she was totally willing to leave the reception for a bit go out late at night for some night shooting!



I LOVE night shooting!



Again, THANK YOU so much to both of you for such a great day, and keeping cheerful despite some setbacks. We had a blast with both your families and enjoying the Russian traditions. You guys rock!
