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!

Beautiful wedding pictures Lloyd. I really liked the railroad track one, so cool!
I'm from the WYP group and just wanted to tell you that your processing on the photo of the monk is really great. Did you use a radial blur? It's really great because it makes him look like he is in motion. Take care.
