Amanda&Mike - January 17th 2009

I had the great pleasure of photographing Amanda and Mike's wedding a few weeks ago. To say that they are a perfect match for each other would be an understatement.

They just know that they will be in love forever, and there is a simple quietness between them that tells more than words ever could. The bridal party knew it would be a great celebration and made the day that much more fun! We topped it off with a fantastic hotdog at Chien Chaud on 4th Street... Delicious.

Thanks for having me, and I know the future will hold great things for you both.

All the best,

Edward

Happy New Year Kristina & Matt - December 31, 2008

Happy New Years!

My last wedding of 2008 was on New Years Eve. It was a great event with a very cool and stylish couple. Kristina and Matt were married in a beautiful candle-lit ceremony at the Wedding Pavillion. You can see the obvious connection between them, and the setting was magical. We took a limo downtown for some street shooting, and kudos to the brave bridal party for toughing out the cold.

Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of the festivities, I couldn't think of a better way to ring in 2009.

All the best to you both,

Edward

Cinematic Bridal Session - Whitney and Mark

Just before Christmas, I had a great opportunity to work with the very talented team from Confetti Films on a new collaborative concept.
Cinematic bridal sessions!!
We worked with a great couple who were married last summer, and together created some stunning fashion forward lifestyle portraits and a very cool film.

It is always great to work with such fun and easy going people. Keep tuned in to see what Confetti Films and Edward Ross Photography have in store for the wedding industry... it will be unprecedented in Western Canada.

Here is a sneak peak at the photos. I will link to the film when it is finished in February or March.

ABSTRACTICA - An art project.

Sometimes, sitting back with your kids creativity opens up completely new ways of thinking. My son wanted to play with food coloring and water, and I thought hmmmm.... what will he come up with.

Knowing that oil and water don't mix, I tried something a bit different.

Using a small bowl, we put in some standard vegetable oil, then poured a bit of water on top. The water beaded on top of the oil of course, and James (my four year old) started designing his abstract masterpeices.

I shot macro shots of the designs, put together a composite, and voila.... ABSTRACTICA was born.

Melissa&Daniel -Canmore Wedding - November 29, 2008

Melissa and Daniel were married in the beautiful Bear & Bison Inn in Canmore at the end of November. The day was so beautiful that the ceremony actually took place outdoors. Surrounded by close friends and family, it was a simple and very elegant affair.

The wind was blowing quite hard by the time we got outside, but I love to see the veil dance, and Melissa played it up perfectly.
As it got dark, we finished at a nice little coffee shop and a stroll outside.

It was great to get to know you both, and to celebrate this day with you. All my best,

Edward

PS. Thanks to Tova and Josh (Daniel's brother) who I photographed last year. It was great catching up with you guys again.
