Laura and Bryon – Edmonton Engagement Photography

scade — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 00:42:51 +0000

Bryon and Laura went to high school together, but it wasn’t until their last day of school that they determined dating each other would be a good idea.

I’m beyond excited to photograph these two on their wedding day. Not only because they’re ridiculously adorable together and a breeze to photograph, but also because I’ve known them for quite a few years. I still remember the day my friend came into work to tell me about this great girl her brother was dating! They are a blast to be around and truly wonderful people!

We went into one of Edmonton’s many river valley pockets to photograph their session last weekend. Luckily it wasn’t too cold and they could have some fun sliding down hills on his coat and taking each other down in a snowball fight.

Looking forward to your big day,

- Steph

Xavier is six months!

Lisa and Tim came to Edmonton last month, and we were able to catch up with them to do a family session. Xavier‘s bright blue eyes and cute little tongue were a treat to photograph. He has a way of melting your heart with one little smirk.

It was great to see you all again, and seriously Tim, great job on knitting the sweater!

Debbie and Dave – Edmonton Winter Wedding

scade — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:56:14 +0000

In December we welcomed our daughter Neko Anne into the Scade Photography family. Gord and I left Steph at home with Neko and we went out into one of the nicer December days to photograph Debbie and Dave’s wedding. While the ladies were getting all prettied up, the guys were playing a rousing game of Killer Bunnies before heading over to St. Joseph’s Basilica. After a nice ceremony at the amazing Basilica, we were left with about half an hour of light. We were able to get some nice outdoor shots before the sun completely departed. And since the reception was at the Fantasyland Hotel, we used the remaining time to capture a few images at West Edmonton Mall. The reception was full of laughs and some great DJ skills by Bob Layton and family. We wish you both a fantastic start to your new year and new family.

Emily and Al – Edmonton Engagement Photography

scade — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:30:52 +0000

Emily and Al have been friends for years! It turns out they met in their university days at the curling club. What began as curling friends eventually became a fantastic relationship.

We only just met them at the session, and it was easy to see how great they fit together. Best friends, excited to be getting married. We used the recently snow covered river valley first, and then head to their curling rink to sneak in a few more fun images where they spend so much time together.

It was great to meet you both, all the best!

Danilak Family – Edmonton Family Photography

This awesome family was a ton of fun to photograph last week. It was a chilly, snowy day, but the boys were troopers and pulled out all the stops for their pictures. Not only did they all look dapper, but they were full of smiles, laughter and ridiculousness! :)

Melissa and Greg, you may have your hands full with 3 crazy boys…but you sure are lucky to have so much sweetness

Acevedo Family – Winter Family Portraits

scade — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:00:38 +0000

We squeezed in a quick family session with this lovely family at just the right time. It was a little chilly, but the fluffy white snow was so exciting for Noah, that it made some of these pictures priceless. He’s got to be one of the happiest kids I know.

Isabelle and Marc are having a Baby! – Edmonton Maternity Photography

scade — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:25:42 +0000

I remember driving home from the lunch date with my girl friends, when Isabelle told us she and Marc were having a baby, I had a perma-smile on the entire way home! Not only because it was great news, and that it was incredibly special to be all having babies so close together now.. but because I knew how excited these two were about becoming parents.

They are going to make incredible parents and I can’t wait to meet their little one. He or she, will be coming into a big family full of love.

An Announcement – Big News from The Scade’s, in a not so big package

scade — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:23:55 +0000

2012 has been a surprising year of change for us and has been jam packed full of things to be thankful for.

As busy and stressful as life can be at times, when I take a moment to breath and look back.. It’s truly amazing how rich and full our lives really are.

First of all, we had a wonderful wedding season! We were busy almost every weekend over the spring, summer, and fall and each one was incredible to be a part of!

It was a little bit different for me this year though, because as the summer went on, I was less and less able to hide a noticeable new bump…

In the Spring Shaun and I found out we would be starting the biggest adventure of our lives so far… we are thrilled to be starting our own family this December!! :D Baby Scade is going to be the first on both of sides of the family. Its going to be a wonderful and exciting Christmas.

To add to our good luck this year, half way through our wedding season, a new job opportunity came up for Shaun. He applied and beat out some stiff competition to become the new instructor in NAIT’s Photographic Technology program. He’s come into the program at an exciting time as they are revamping the structure of each class and making some big changes for students. Shaun now gets paid to do photography research, as well as teach what he loves and is naturally already so good at doing! He’s been enjoying teaching full time now since the beginning of the school year.

This was something we hadn’t planned for, and has added quite a lot to our plates over the past few months, as our wedding season was still in full swing when the position started. We’re SO THANKFUL for all of our clients who’ve been understanding with us! Everything is wrapping up nicely now, and we’re almost ready with everyone’s weddings..now if only I could get some personal photography projects finished before the baby comes..

Before the snow came, we snuck in a mini maternity session with our talented friend Andrea, who took some amazing images for us. The session was a really nice way to celebrate what we’ve done together and show off a little before the baby takes over everything. I love how these pictures are filled with warmth and smiles.. It really portrays how we’re feeling about having a baby.

I wasn’t sure what to expect while being pregnant, and it took me a while to actually accept the fact that we were actually having a baby to sink in… and to accept the fact that I should probably stop playing soccer and volleyball once I was showing. But as the 9 months have gone by, I’ve been amazed at how incredible the process is and how naturally talented our bodies are. Its fun to be proud of my body, and proud of how big it is getting. Its not every day a girl smiles while pushing out her gut. Haha.

*** We wanted to let everyone know that we’ll be changing things up a little in the new year.***

As of next week we’ll be slowing down quite a bit, finishing up our current clients orders before the holidays, and then taking some time off to relax and fit in as much cuddle time as possible for the next couple of months.

Blogging will be slowing down, and we’ll be accepting portrait sessions again later into the new year.

If you’d like to have a print order taken care of and ready for Christmas (prints/canvases/Holiday Cards), we’ll need to have it placed by November 23rd.

You will still be able to reach us by phone or email, it just might take us a little longer to get back to you.

Also, we are still accepting a handful of more weddings for 2013, but will be capping off the number of weddings and portraits we accept to ensure that everyone receives the best possible Scade Family service we can provide!

Thank you for all of the good wishes we’ve received already from so many of you! We’re pretty excited about what 2013 will bring!

Naomi and Derek’s little man celebrated his first birthday last month! He’s full of curiosity, giggles and kisses.

Shaun and I went out to photograph him and his family and his endless expressions were hilarious to photograph!

Happy birthday

Rebecca and David – Edmonton Wedding Photography

scade — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:52:27 +0000

Rebecca and David‘s wedding was a special one for us, because over the years we’ve had the privilege of photographing quite a few of their family and friends weddings! It was our last wedding of the busy wedding season for us, and a perfect way for us to cap it off. We had a blast catching up with everyone again.

Their wedding was nothing short of amazing! The Ceremony was held at St. Albert’s Enjoy Centre, and the Reception held at St Basil’s cultural centre, with a full on family style traditional Ukrainian dinner! YUM! (Being the pregnant lady at the table… I didn’t even have to feel guilty about asking for extra pyrohy!)

David and Rebecca mentioned in their speech how important it was for them to throw a wedding where all of their friends and family could come to enjoy each others company, have a delicious meal, and dance the night away to their favourite Ukrainian band Millenia! It was wonderful to see it all come together. Everyone had a wonderful time. All of the details they had envisioned came together beautifully too, and the day went on with out a hitch. Just two people, head over heals for each other who shared their wedding day with all of their favourite people.

Congratulations, and thank you everyone for such a memorable wedding season.

Edmonton Engagement Photography – Lauren and Jevan

scade — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:04:09 +0000

Lauren and Jevan are two of the sweetest, and probably smartest people we’ve had the pleasure of photographing this past Fall Season. They met in a graduate lounge a few years ago, and while their academic interests are different, Lauren a Chemist and Jevan an Economist, they have been studying together ever since

They are planning their wedding for a couple of years from now because Lauren’s is headed to Germany while Jevan stays back here in Calgary. They were in Edmonton this past September for a wedding (Images tomorrow) and we were lucky enough to photograph their engagement session.

It was a chilly autumn evening, and the light was falling fast, but we had a great time and captured some great images.

Best of luck on your adventures! And thank you so much for the maple syrup yumminess. It’s delicious.

Edmonton Engagement Photographers – Amanda and Matt

scade — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 03:07:10 +0000

We had the opportunity to photograph Amanda and Matt’s engagement photos before the weather took a turn. The fall light matched the fall colours. We took Amanda and Matt around the High Level Bridge near the Legislative grounds where they had a memorable date. We then hopped over to a small hill in the river valley overlooking downtown where we got some cityscapes and a few more images in the trees. The last two images are composites of 64 and 114 images respectively. We look forward to their wedding next year,

Alberta Wedding Photography – Amanda and Rob

scade — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:41:46 +0000

Amanda and Rob had their amazing wedding on Thankgiving weekend, surrounded by all of their family and friends! It was an incredible Italian Wedding. Filled with everything weddings should be filled with. Good food, good drinks and good friends and family. It was a theme that was prevelant throught out the night, and it is touched close to home for Shaun and I, as Shaun’s mom Bev lived by this motto through and through.

It was obvious from the beginning how important family is to this couple. Specific requests for pictures with important people and places, a special dance, danced in honour of their beloved grandfather, Amanda’s father sang a beautiful song for the two of them at the reception, and once the speeches started the tears all came out.

To top it all off, it was an elaborate affair they pulled off. There were so many details that all came together to create a beautiful and romantic day. Zeina and Amal, from Exquisite Affairs were there all day to make sure every detail was taken care of. They did an incredible job of creating an almost Moulin Rouge atmosphere in the Mayfield Banquet Hall.

Thankyou so much for including us in your day. We had a blast with your fantastic wedding party, and families. Congratulations once again!!

Hiromi and Connor – Edmonton Wedding Photographers

scade — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:36:45 +0000

Hiromi and Connor are two of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. The day was full of excitement, tears (of joy) and laughter. Excitement for being able to marry a best friend. Tears from the overwhelming feeling of having family and friends share in the happy day. And laughter… because they love to laugh.

Both the ceremony and reception were held at the Petroleum Club. We had taken the formal pictures before the ceremony and were able to capture Connor and Hiromi’s ‘First Look’.

The evening was full of heartfelt speeches and endless jokes. Hiromi’s brother was away teaching in Japan, but even being so far away, it was easy to see how close these families were. Her brother was able to Skype with the family to witness the ceremony and see some of the reception!

We had a lovely time meeting everyone and photographing the wedding, and were treated to seats up close to the front and beside our friends/fellow photographers Rob and Lauren, who happen to be great friends with Hiromi and Connor!

Congratulations to you both again!

Stephanie

…told you they were the sweetest..
