I love weddings. I can’t say it enough. And when I get to work with really cool, laid back couples who are straight up set on enjoying their day, I enjoy it even more. That was how it was with Jody and Alwin, who were married on a beautiful summer afternoon at the amazing Matrix Hotel in downtown Edmonton. The day was amazing from start to finish, from the fun-loving bridal party to the beautiful venue and unique location for formals.

We started our day with a few quick shots of Alwin getting ready at their Edmonton home.
We then headed off to spend some time with Jody and the bridesmaids who were getting ready at the Matrix Hotel.
The ceremony was held at the Matrix Hotel and the room was full of friends and family waiting to celebrate the marriage of the happy couple. The absolute joy on Jody and Alwin’s faces when they saw each other for the first time was absolutely amazing. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as these two shared their vows.
After a few family photos, we took the bridal party to the Alberta Legislature for some photos. This crowd was so much fun!
And we just had to do one quick groom request before moving on - the classic Abbey Road shot.
We next traveled to Mercer Tavern and the neon museum for some fun downtown photos of Jody and Alwin.
One of my favourite moments of the wedding day is often the first dance. That moment where all the formal segments of the day are complete and the couple can take a breath and simply enjoy each other.
