If you haven’t checked out the new Urban Behaviour store in West Edmonton Mall – you need to go. It is HUGE – over 20,000 sq ft. Michael was hired to photograph the store before it opened – and one of his images will be used in the West Edmonton Mall directory – how cool!
For those of you out there craving some pakora, an awesome new Indian restaurant and an Asian Market have recently opened in south Edmonton that Michael took commercial photos for. Zaika Indian Bistro Bar and Summerside Asian Market are located on the south side just off the Henday and 91st street. We’ve eaten there many times so far, and the food is SO good. Make sure to check it out! The market is run by one of our favourite couples from last year, Ashu & Garry, and the restaurant by Ashu’s sister and her husband!

And this is my favourite – we took Andrew (who is officially walking now!) to the shoot, and he loved shopping there!

I went to the Southgate opening on August 5th, 2009. We love the branding that the mall has done around the opening with the high-fashion posters. I know one of the models, Alicia, who was brought in to showcase the mall.
There are some fabulous new single-brand stores that many of you will love. I’ll wager that half of the brides who walk through the doors of Shandro Photo carry their keys in a Coach purse (and likely have a Coach wallet inside).
The mall brought in some great entertainment.
One of our brides, Laura, did the hiring for the new Guess store in Southgate. While she was at a meeting at our place I let her use our photocopier to copy a job posting.
In the bottom right corner of this picture is a great videographer, Raj from “A Love Story”. He was hired by Southgate to record some video of the opening. We have been lucky enough to work with him and his wife Eileen at two weddings.
There are at least three new shoe stores in Southgate. Please don’t tell your husbands, fiancés, and boyfriends that I told you so.
I recently did stock photography for the Alberta Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) at one of the hotels in downtown Edmonton.
The photos will be used for a variety of purposes, one of the most exciting is for the AHLA annual report, distributed to hotels owners across the province.
The Alberta Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) recently broke ground for a new building in South Edmonton. I captured the editorial photo for the ground-breaking, as well as a few fun shots with the President (Dave Kaiser) and Chair (Doug Shandro) of the AHLA. The images were used for a light-hearted presentation about the ground breaking at the annual convention in Jasper.
Here’s a look at something different. When not shooting weddings, Michael occasionally does commercial photography. One of the companies Michael does work for is Independent Bath Products, an awesome renovation company in Edmonton. They do incredible custom bathrooms, and whole home renovations. Here’s a sampling of some of Michael’s work.
