Leslie & Mark | Wedding
October 6, 2008 // Posted by lauren in Weddings
Wow, it has been about a year since I have blogged! Sorry everyone, things here in Rob & Lauren land have been just crazy! In the past 8 days we have done 7 shoots with 7 groups of awesome people. Believe me, I’ll probably be blogging well up to Christmas with all the great stuff I still need to put up!
But I’m coming back from my hiatus in a big way. This wedding was truly one of the funnest (yes, funnest) that we have ever had. We don’t usually spend a ton of time at receptions, since once the dance gets going only a few people usually get out and boogie. With Leslie and Mark I think we were at their reception for 6 hours, and even when we left there was all sorts of crazy dancing going on! We had to pull ourselves away from it all!
So here we go, a crazy fun wedding with Leslie and Mark:
Starting with a few gorgeous details. Leslie’s cute and unique wedding dress.
The bridal flip flops. Honestly SO COOL!
And the gorgeous bouquet.
We had a bit of time to spare in the morning so we did a few portraits with her family. Here she is with her bodyguards/brothers.
And all the pretty ladies! LOVE the black and hot pink.
The groomsmen also got up to some silliness. Now this has been quite a popular pose this year, but since Rob and I don’t watch TV with commercials we don’t really know what it’s all about. Was there a commercial where people were doing this? Something to do with Captain Morgan? I don’t know, but all the groomsmen at a ton of weddings kept doing it, so we took photos 🙂
Then they got up to some silliness of a more adult nature. This is a very manly way to drink your shots, by the way.
But amidst all the fun a wedding did indeed happen! And a gorgeous one at that. Here is Leslie and her dad waiting to go down the aisle.
And Leslie laughing it up during the ceremony.
Then it was time to have some fun with portraits. Check out this epic one of the bridal party!
I might wager that these were the most fun groomsmen of the year….
And the ladies were up for anything, and totally hot.
Check out the gorgeous flowers!
These boys weren’t sure what to do with their hands….
Look at the cuteness!
We always find a million awesome places to shoot at Fort Edmonton Park.
This horse was all up in their grill. Leslie named him Stampy.
One of my favorite jumping shots EVER.
This is Mark.
This is Leslie.
And this is what happens when you put them together 😉
Yep, Rob took this shot. And yep, it’s killer.
They had their reception at the hangar at Fort Ed, and the decoration was just awesome.
But what was the awesomest was the entrance of their MC. I don’t know if anything will ever top it.
This is what she rolled up in.
Look closely and you can see their custom bride and groom bibs!
The MCs second outfit.
And her third. The guests decided to take the huge glasses from the centerpieces and put them to good use!
Mark is an Irish boy, and there were a ton of guests that came from Ireland to the wedding. So it was only fitting to treat them to some Irish dancing!
Then the first dance. They really had a lot of fun with it, and it was just such a memorable scene.
We put the ice on some ice. BAM!
Rock it out, Leslie. Rock it out.
And something else that I will never forget. At the end of the night they realised they had forgotten to cut the cake, so Leslie said “Let’s karate chop it!” and I said “YEAH!” and so they did.
I told you I was coming back in a big way. This was such an amazing wedding, pure Mark and Leslie to the core, and huge amounts of fun. I kinda wish I could rewind the clock and just experience it all over again! But I guess that’s what the photos are for, right? 😉
Anyway, I’ll be coming back and blogging more often now. So keep tuning in for so much more!
Lauren 🙂
P.S. Our Chill Session has booked up already! Hooray! We’re going to have such a stellar time with a great group of photographers! Thanks to everyone who signed up!

This looked like a super fun wedding! Amazing pictures R & L!
I really enjoyed the shot where “Stampy” made a cameo. Cuteness.
Also, I think all brides and grooms from now on should Karate Chop their wedding cake because that is just cool.

Chill Session with Rob & Lauren!
September 30, 2008 // Posted by lauren in Fun Stuff
So with a hearty response to our inquiry of whether or not we should do a Chill Session, we have indeed decided to go ahead and hold it on October 19th. It will go pretty much all day, with tons of chatting, learning and having fun.
We’re going to have pretty limited space, to keep the group small and make sure everyone has a chance to ask their questions, so make sure to give me a shout as soon as possible to register your spot.
As I mentioned before, this is aimed at advanced amateurs. I’d suggest you have a good knowledge of an SLR camera, and a desire to take your photography to the next level.
IMPORTANT: We have already found our model couple! Thanks so much to everyone who offered!
I think that’s it. If you have any questions about the Chill Session leave me a comment and I’ll do what I can to answer it!
Cheers, and hope to chill with a bunch of you soon!
Lauren 🙂

If only I was going to be in your area on the 19th….this sounds great!
I hope it goes well!

Man I live in Vancouver… I was in Edmonton but was always hesitant to meet you… as I felt I would be wasting your time with your talent and me just starting out….
this would have been super…
darn darn darn !!!

Darn! I live on the other side of Canada.

This would be so valuable for any photographer who went. After being photographed by you both, hanging out with you at a wedding, and hanging out with you in general… I’d have to say you’re two talented individuals who have an enormous amount of knowledge to share!

Your work is so refreshing!!! I have to check your site regularly to see what’s new.
I wish I were closer, living in Michigan counts me out – so sad.

Doh! Busy that day, otherwise I would be long-boarding up from the Hat! Kidding, too far!!
Cool idea though, hope this is the first of many more 🙂

Too bad it’s not a virtual chill session 🙁
Also, it’s too bad that it costs more to fly to the next province than it does to fly to Mexico… wth is up with that?!
Brandi

Damn Canada for being so far away. I wish I could. But.. Texas.. to Canada.. that’s a long trek… 😛 Thou I much rather be in Canada than Texas. 🙂

No fair! We live too far away to come to this! Hope it goes really well and we can’t wait to hear all about it.

Yay! Super excited to meet up with you guys so I hope you’ll think I’m super cool enough to come chill out and shoot with you guys. My wife can even make these amazing cupcakes if that helps.
Uh oh, we have a winner!
September 28, 2008 // Posted by lauren in Fun Stuff
So I’ve known for the past couple days that the 300 comment mark was about to be breached and that we’d have our next winner. We actually hovered at 299 for a day or so, and it sure was exciting to see who would finally comment and win!
We woke up luxuriously late today after the craziness that was Allison & James’ wedding yesterday (can’t wait to show you that one, James is Australian and there were over 40 other Aussies there to celebrate. That meant good times!) I knew that it was quite likely that we had gotten the one comment we needed to reach the 300 mark.
Well, we sure did! And believe or not, it’s another person from Australia!
But this time, in such a wonderfully random bit of chance, it is actually Talya, commenting on her own post that won!!!
Hooray!
Way to go Talya, now you get a Wedding Travelers print to decorate your flat in Melbourne, and remind you of how much you miss us!
I’ll post up some more funness tomorrow, right now we’re just taking it easy, and about to enjoy some tea from the wedding last night that promises to taste like a creamsicle. I’ll report back on that.
Lauren 🙂
