Picture That Photography's Adventures in Edmonton and Abroad!

I am so excited to share these reception detail photographs!  Jolyn from Nuance Occasions asked me to take a few detail photographs for her company of the awesome decor she came up with for her New Year’s Eve wedding at the TransAlta Art Barns in Edmonton.  I was never in a position to have a full hour to photograph details before, and details are some of my favorite things to photograph!  The place looked stunning.  I absolutely loved the feathers, and the white against the black room.

The lighting that the TransAlta Art Barns have is by far better than anything I’ve seen in any other Edmonton venues.  The lighting guru took me upstairs and I walked across a net with fairly large holes, bouncing up and down like a trampoline.  This is the first time I became afraid of heights!  I was able to walk across the glass floor in the CN Tower, but this was more scary than that :).  I laid down on the netting and the first thing I noticed was how the tables and chairs looked like beautiful flowers from far up.  The first purposefully out of focus photograph was taken to bring the viewer’s attention to the shape and colors, not the detail per se.

I loved the feather ideas, and the incorporation of the falling orchids and beautiful crystal pieces.  The place looked modern and chic and simply beautiful.  Jolyn, you did an amazing job!  I’m sure the couple was blown away..

Note to photographers:  If you shoot a gig at the TransAlta Art Barns, I strongly recommend bringing a tripod as well as multiple off-camera flashes for the most beautiful results.
