ben and valerie. married. a slovanian hall wedding in edmonton, alberta. by Cheryl Lukasewich

Ben and Valerie's wedding was so pumped full of love, laughs, (flasks) and shenanigans.  Over and over during our formals Ben kept asking me "Oh Cheryl, turn around and take pictures of those guys (the bridal party)!  Man, we love those guys so much!"  And that love was mega-evident.  After the formals we headed back to Ben and Val's house where Ben surprised Val big time.  No, they weren't going to Kelowna for their honeymoon like she thought.  Instead, they were going on a tropical cruise and stopping off to see their favorite team play along the way <3
These two.  Their love.  My heart.  All the feels.  Check out a few of my favorites from their wedding day.  Looking for your own wedding photographer and think we may be a good fit?  Head on over to my contact form and shoot me a message :)

simone and preet. second shooting for retrospekt design. by Cheryl Lukasewich

I was presented with the amazing opportunity to assist Eileen from Retrospekt Designs in photographing a 3 day Indian wedding extravaganza and it was SO COOL!!!  One of my absolutely favorite things about photographing weddings is being given the chance - the PRIVILEGE - to participate in the celebratory traditions of other cultures.  Where else is it possible to actually be there to witness and participate in so many different activities that are so steeped in ritual and culture??  Over the years I've photographed so many different types of weddings (Catholic, Protestant, Sri-Lankan, Jewish, Chinese, Greek Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Native American, Sudanese, Islamic) and to add this stunning Indian wedding, dripping with vibrant colors and personality, is just the best thing ever.  I am so SO fortunate.  For realz. Soooo many thanks go out to Retrospekt Designs for allowing me to assist her during this wedding.  That lady is incredible.  Go check out her work.  Seriously.  Do it.

In the meantime check out my favorite images from this wedding.  It's probably my longest blog post yet but it's worth it!!!!
