JULIE + RYAN – Wedding

November 9, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

I am delighted to announce Ryan and Julie’s wedding!!! These two tied the knot at Cherry Creek Estate just outside of Kimberley, BC and it couldn’t have been more perfect!bride and groom

Ryan and Julie met online and after a few years of dating, he attempted to propose on the top of Machu Pichu! I say attempted because of a series of events on the ever long trail he ended up waiting four days after their hike to Machu Pichu and proposed while the two were sitting in a hammock in Peru. How perfect does that sound?! You can read their proposal story here.

Julie and Ryan decided to do a first look before the ceremony started. I loved the look on his face when he first saw her! The two of them were just beaming!

The wedding was truly beautiful. The ceremony was lovely and they were surrounded by family and close friends. Julie looked stunning in her wedding gown and her bouquet and long veil (perfect for a windy day) were beautiful. What made things even more perfect was the fact that the fountain went off behind them right when they had their first kiss and husband and wife.

After the ceremony, we headed out for formal photos. The grounds were beautiful and the people at Cherry Creek Estate were wonderful and drove us around to get to different locations. There were so many beautiful options for photos at Cherry Creek! The Buggy Barn was awesome for the groomsmen! And, we even drove out to a place with the mountains in the background, which was perfect as Ryan and Julie really wanted the mountains in some of their wedding photos.

Their reception was also pretty wonderful and was held inside a beautifully decorated barn with details to represent the couples’ interests. The homemade jam favors were darling, and I loved that they had special coloring books and crayons for the kids (and a few of the adults too 🙂 )! The food was amazing and the slideshow and letter from Ryan’s grandpa back in Eastern Canada were awesome!! I even snuck this wonderful couple out mid-reception to grab a few photos with the horses!! Julie loves horses so this was a perfect end to a perfect day! Thanks for letting me share your special day with you, Ryan and Julie, and I wish you all the best!

BRETT + KIDS

November 1, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

I love this mom and her darling kids! I have been photographing them since Ryan, the oldest, was just a baby. I still remember accidently making her cry with my kids’ little puppet frog haha! Sorry Ryan 🙂 Brett and I met back in high school and it’s been such a pleasure to photograph her darling family over the years.

ALLRED

October 26, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

Words cannot describe how much I adore this family! Heidi and I have been friends for many years and it is always such a pleasure to be able to photograph her family. We met at a photo group a common friend had started and we hit it off. Heidi is an incredibly talented photographer (you can check out her work here) and I’ve enjoyed learning from her and working alongside her for several years. It’s always a little nerve wracking for me to photograph another photographer, but thankfully everything turned out as planned.

From the outfits and flower crowns to the mountains in the background, this session was simply perfect!! It was definitely worth the hour plus drive to get there 😉  Thanks for a fantastic night Allred family.

Camera: Canon 6D
Lenses: Canon 24-70L 2.8, Canon 70-200L 2.8
Flower crowns: Flowers by Mindy

STEHMEIER

October 19, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

I haven’t been to Confederation Park in years, so when this adorable family decided on it as the location for their family photos I was excited! Confederation Park is perfect for a morning session as the light is simply lovely. And aren’t they an adorable family!  I love their outfit choices too. Mom had them all dressed perfectly! I have known Mark, the hubby, for as long as I  can remember and it’s so fun to see his family grow and to be able to capture these memories for them. Thanks for the fun morning Stehmeier family!

KATELYN – Maternity

October 14, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

I think it’s about time I posted Katelyn’s maternity session as we’ve got some serious reason to celebrate! Katelyn and her hubby, Sean, have officially had their third little princess join their family!! They welcomed a teeny, tiny baby girl on Sept 30, and she weighed in at 4 pounds 14 ounces. Congrats you two!!

I had the privilege of photographing Katelyn for her maternity session back in August (oops… just a wee bit behind on this! 🙂 ) and she was just as beautiful as can be. It was a surprisingly chilly day, especially for the end of summer, but Katelyn looked beautiful and her dress was super cute! I love how it hugged to her tiny baby belly.

Camera : Canon 6D
Lens : Canon 85 f1.8
