The Riviera Palm Springs was such an incredible venue…every last detail of the decor was retro-chic and so different. I absolutely LOVED shooting here and would be so happy to shoot there again.

Jenn and Robb – thank you so much for choosing me to be your wedding photographer for your destination wedding in Palm Springs. It was such an honour to photograph your special day, and I feel lucky to have shot in such an incredible wedding venue!

The entire day’s events happened at Fort Edmonton Park, starting with Angela getting ready in the little schoolhouse attached to the chapel. The light hit Angela just beautifully.

Angela and Steven decided to do a ‘first look’, which means they wanted to see each other before the ceremony. I am a huge advocate of doing a first look. Seeing each other for the first time with all those people staring at you can make you feel overwhelmed rather than overjoyed.  Doing a first look alone with your photographer(s) is much more intimate and being able to hug and kiss for a few minutes (maybe a few happy tears too) really helps lower your stress level.

I snuck Angela behind the church before putting Steven into position. Once I had him facing the other way, I told Angela to walk slowly around the corner.  I love the look of anticipation on Steven’s face, and Angela’s little grin. So cute!

I can’t help but have a huge smile on my face when I see these photos, their expressions are so full of joy!

Lovely lovely lovely.

Check out this bridal party! Lookin good kids!

Steven is a fire fighter. Love the images with the fire truck.

Everyone looks so classy! I love it!

These fall colors are to die for! What a perfect day.

Eventually, playtime was over and it was time to get on with the wedding. The ceremony was held in a tiny little chapel – St. Anthony’s Catholic Church

It was a very heart-filled emotional ceremony.

How cute is this sign? It was placed at the entrance to direct guests to the right place.

The reception was held in the Blatchford Field Air Hangar, so naturally, paper airplanes for table numbers. Genius!

Thank you so much to Angela and Steven for choosing me to be their wedding photographer. Also, a huge thank you to my amazing second shooter Paula Scherr, for helping me out so much that day and getting some gorgeous shots!

I am looking for some volunteers to do a concept shoot in coastal BC – Vancouver and Vancouver Island.  I’ve been living in the prairies too long and am dying to shoot near the ocean!

I need a woman with her own wedding dress  (that still fits!) that is willing to put it on again, get her hair and makeup done and have the opportunity to create some amazing images with me.  If you have a willing groom, awesome! Maybe you have a dress but no groom – who cares, let’s get your money’s worth out of that beautiful wedding dress sitting in your closet.

If you’re not afraid to get your dress dirty, and want another excuse to wear it again, keep reading.

We won’t be ‘trashing’ anything but due to the locations where we will be shooting the dress may get slightly dirty, sandy, and possibly a little wet but nothing major.  You will be asked to sit, lay down, and other various poses in your dress, so make sure you can do those things while wearing it – I know how tight they can be!

I will have a hair stylist and makeup artist to prepare you for the shoot at my cost.  You will be volunteering your time and lovely face so that I may use your images in my portfolio and advertising.  In exchange you will receive a DVD with edited images from our shoot, with printing rights.

If you’re interested, please send me an email with some information about you, and at least 2 photos of yourself – one where I can clearly see your face and another in your wedding dress.

Please send your submissions to admin@jenwilliamsphoto.com

If you know anyone who may be interested in this opportunity, please spread the word!
