Jonny Jacques is a young entrepreneur and manager of the Avenue Theatre along Edmonton’s avenue of Champions. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a few shows at his exciting venue and was incredibly flattered when he contacted me about being the wedding photographer for the big day.
Jonny’s bride, Ally, suggested a style similar to The Royal Tenenbaums, including some serious faces and stoic posing, which was a fantastic idea. Our goal was to not have a traditional wedding photography set, and from there shot ideas started spreading. The result was not a ‘regular’ wedding wedding set at all, but something to match the fun spirit of everyone in the group, including individual ‘actor’ title cards like those in the film’s opening credits.
The ceremony was held at the Avenue Theatre and shortly thereafter continued to Forest Heights park and then to a low wooden bridge for some impromptu posing and fun photos. Despite a week of rain storms, the weather held up nicely and was mostly free of mosquito bites.
The wedding party’s long time friendship definitely came through and everyone was in great spirits. These are a few of my favorite photographs of the day, including the footbridge session. My thanks again to Jonny and Ally for trusting me to photograph your Edmonton wedding and for allowing me to share it with the world here. Congratulations on a great wedding and the years filled with joy ahead!
