Jill & Clint’s Winter Wedding

Congrats to Clint and Jill, who were married in Lethbridge on a cold winter’s day. After dropping my assistant photographer Jessica off to stay with Jill and taking a few images of her having her hair done, I took off to cover the guys getting ready, arriving just as Clint got out of the shower. That’s always the time you want your wedding photographer to show up, right? (Jill, we’ll talk about those photos later). ;) After this I drove back to where the girls were getting the final touches done to their hair and makeup. The girls were—how shall I put it?—so wonderfully self-entertaining. They laughed and joked around constantly and were definitely a blast to photograph.

Their ceremony was held at the Southminster United Church and after the ceremony and some quick family portraits we headed to a new location just outside of Lethbridge itself for the rest of the photography. We stayed here for all of the portraits and I cycled through different people and arrangements so that everyone could take turns warming up in the limo between photos. It was cold! I can’t believe how well Jill did, seeing as she was so lightly dressed—wedding dresses aren’t really made for Canadian winters—and how long we were outside for. Apart from myself, she was outside the longest. And I was wearing a winter jacket and two pairs of socks! Well, and other stuff, too, but I don’t really want to list absolutely everything. Anyway, we had a lot of fun with the portraits, getting some cool fashion-style images as well as fun ones of people messing around and the wedding party roasting marshmallows. :)

The wedding reception was held at the Grandstand and it was decorated in a tasteful winter theme. We stayed until just after the first dance, also covering the speeches and cake cutting before we had to leave. By the way, Clint, I have heard that the last person the bride cuts the cake with is destined to be their soulmate forever. ;)

I had a hard time narrowing down all our images to a few faves for the blog, but here are the ones I chose. :)

The Wedding of Alicin & Andy

Yes, folks, we have it all for you this week—partial nudity, tears, laughter, funny signs, danger, romance, and even some wedding photos! What more could you ask for?

Alicin and Andy are a wonderful couple who are just really genuine people.  Wedding days often change people a bit, because of the hectic pace and the crowds of guests, but Andy and Alicin were themselves through all of this and that’s so refreshing to see.  :)  They were married at the Southminster United church, which is one of the larger ones here in Lethbridge, with attractive dark polished wood and a big balcony wrapping around the top level.  It was dark in there, though!  Only a little bit of light came in through the stained glass windows.  

Alicin’s bridesmaids were all her sisters and Andy’s groomsmen were his brothers!  That’s the first time I’ve seen such a balanced, related bridal party lineup.  Andy’s family were a riot; the guys were all joking around and they talked me into playing a trick on Andy, too.  So, when he asked me if I’d come from Salon Quattro, where the girls were having their hair and makeup done, and how they all were, I told him that, yes, I’d been there and the girls were good.  Then I paused and straight-faced asked, “Was Alicin supposed to be there this morning?”  The poor guy’s jaw dropped and his eyes went wide until we all laughed and then it clicked and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Alicin and her sisters fed us a great lunch.  Sherri and I always pack something for ourselves, but they insisted and I never turn down food.  Plus it was better than what we had.  Alicin, Sherri wants the recipe for that salad!  :)

Anyways, here are some of their images!
