After several days of rain in Edmonton, the sun came out for Masha and Vip’s wedding at Hastings Lake Gardens, just east of Sherwood Park.  The intimate ceremony in the gazebo was witnessed by a small gathering of family and close friends.  On a hot, sunny day everyone did a great job of not squinting!

After a few family photos we stole the bridal party away for some fun pictures.  Hastings Lake Gardens has so many interesting features, and plenty of beautiful flowers for a backdrop.  Then we let the bridal party go, and focused on our beautiful couple.

Our faux Easter Island shots were fun, it was the groom’s idea to put the rose on the front head…and we can’t ask our bride and groom to get down on the ground without getting down ourselves!

After the pictures were done we drove back into Edmonton for a reception at the Holiday Inn.  The bride did a wonderful job of decorating the room, and everyone had a blast.  She is starting her own wedding consultant business.  If you want her to help you out and have her do your decorations, ask us and we will put you in touch with her.
