Edmonton Wedding Photo Booth

F & C’s Wedding Photo Booth and Reception

I was asked to help out for a photo booth at F & C's wedding, and I got to sneak in a few photos during the reception partyas well! It was truly an amazing night at F & C's wedding!I think it was obvious how much fun was there at the wedding, it was virtually effortless to get people to smile for me in front of the camera or pose for a "let's go crazy" and "hurray" shot, because people were simply doing that, and they were proud...

Mini Portrait Session

Had a brrrrrr breezy portrait session today with our beloved UAPC member Joanne! Although the fall breeze came sweeping in and surprised us, we had a warm shoot nonetheless.Joanne is a student in the University of Alberta studying in human ecology and has done a few contests on her own. She has made some pretty sweet dresses and accessories. You can see a short clip from her latest contest for Southgate Mall in Edmonton  We tried a bit of light painting that day too, but it didn't really go that...

Banff Johnston Canyon Creek Trail and Two Jack Lake

The whole camping trip was actually spent without much planning. After having brunch we knew we had to at least get fishing licenses for those who wanted to fish. A group of us went off to two jack lake to look for fishing spots while the other group went to Banff to get the license. Once everyone settled down, a bunch of us decided to check out other places since we weren't planning to fish. I visited Johnston Canyon last year and had some great memories there in the midst of the great Alberta flood. The view...

Banff Tunnel Mountain

Traveling down from Edmonton to Banff in a group of 8 in hope to get away and do some hiking, fishing, and great camping experience. We booked our camp site with the Alberta camping reservation system online. At first we wanted to be close to two jack lake, but all their sites were already booked, so we went with the neighbouring camp site at Tunnel Mountain Village II. They have very well facilitated washrooms and sink area for us to wash things and take showers, which was good...

Dustin and Lesley Wedding

I don't like to spam everyone with 200+ photos so I figured putting it neatly in a film strip comic would justify how amazing this wedding was! It was truly an honor to have been the wedding photographer for Dustin and Lesley's wedding! I had sooo much fun shooting my first wedding and would definitely do more weddings in the future!           ...

Portrait Session in University CCIS in Edmonton I mpStudio

What an amazing photo day with my two dear old friends and the amazing Sara! I met Sara through Dani who is also assisting for me in this photo shoot. Sara is a young lady just finishing up junior high, but already has a contract with a modeling management company. She's had some shoots and agreed to do a shoot with me for learning experience. Today marks the first day of me shooting with assistants, who by the way had no training so extra points to them for being awesome!So here, we have...

Family Portrait Session in Edmonton Strathcona Area

I approached my old time junior high friends personally for a family portrait session on location. I was so excited when I found out that the family were just thinking of getting a family photographer in town =) Kory and Brittney were both friends I knew from junior high. We haven't seen each other in close to 8 years! It was so awesome to get to meet their daughter who I have only seen pictures of on facebook. She is definitely cuter in person! This will mark my first on...

Indoor Family & Maternity Portrait Session

Many families are often unable to photograph their precious moments, especially in Edmonton. Asides finding the time to book a session from the new busy family life, , then there is location! Finding a convenient location that is family friendly is not always easy. The weather in Edmonton is cold for 10 months and summer only officially start in July! Some wants to preserve the most authentic, candid moments in their point of time with the family, so I thought an "on location" candid portrait session right at...

Portrait Session around University Area in Edmonton I mpStudio

Another portrait photography day in Edmonton! So Iris and I have been friends for quite some time now, and we would have dinner talks periodically to catch up, but today I've decided to talk her into a photo session. *Evil laughter* Iris has always been a pretty chill person so I already knew she would agree to be in my photos. I'm practicing for an upcoming wedding gig, so finding anyone with no modeling experience would obviously be a no brainer right?  Iris got off work and was dressed in business casual attire, so...

Portrait Session in Edmonton Canola Field

So here in Edmonton, July is finally snow and cold free! There are canola fields in full bloom all over highways in Edmonton right in the city! This is the beginning of my serious journey to get into shooting portraits. I've spent lots of time scouting for locations to do photo sessions and try out loads of different lighting techniques and force myself to survive in harsh lighting conditions too! I'd carry my gears to work to save travel and time. Having looked forward everyday, I shot in the rain, overcast days, gloomy...

KDays Edmonton

No matter how many times I said I won't go to #kdays I still end up going! This year, a bunch of friends were sure to go and so I act smart and act fast! I got the early bird all day admission + ride passes for $45 along with all my friends going. I even sold a few that I got for $10 more when a few friends ditched. It's funny because I had two friends asked me in a very worried tone whether I was going...
