Eveline Charles Bridal

August 13, 2010

Michael spent some time at the Eveline Charles West Edmonton Mall location for their bridal collection. His work is now seen on their website here and also in emails being sent to clients about their bridal services.  The salon has a great spa for a bride and her bridesmaids to enjoy before the wedding, and a salon for wedding day hair and makeup.  There are four locations in Edmonton, three in Calgary, and two in Kelowna.  You’ll get a peek at the West Ed location for Holly & Ben’s wedding coming up this weekend!

We’ve been able to use our studio for more than just families, we had two professionals stop by recently for headshots.

Len Quaghebeur is the president of Students Union Ticket Pak, those awesome coupon books that local schools and sports teams sell for fundraising.

Leslie Cleary is running for Public School Board Trustee in Ward 1 – Mill Woods.  The vote is on October 18th, so make sure to check out her campaign if you live in that area.

Michael photographed the Rusnak’s beautiful house in Riverbend for Independent Bath Products, who had remodelled the home. He was happy to work with them again, this time for family photos!

First, check out this amazing kitchen, and two luxurious spa bathrooms.

And here is a sampling of the family photographs.

We had the pleasure of meeting Sofia from Awespiring Weddings at our Wedding Planner Photography Workshop in April. We met with her again recently to take shots of her custom stationery designs. Great work, Sofia!

We had the privilege of working with a local wedding planner on a shoot of their amazing decor for their website. Clockwork Wedding Productions is a new event planning company in Edmonton, and Catherine and Karen’s passion is just incredible. The number of gorgeous arrangements they created in a short period of time is very impressive. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and it was one of the most fun commercial shoots we’ve ever done. (It helped that we got to eat some of the treats from Duchess Bake Shop at the end….)

I also must acknowledge the very talented Rosella from Studio Bloom, a local florist. She provided all of of the flower arrangements for the shoot.

We can’t wait to work with these ladies again in the future!

It was impossible for me to choose favourites from the shoot so these are just a small taste – more on our Facebook page.

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!

If you haven’t been yet, you know you want to…

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.
