Brandi + Nathan . A surprise shoot | edmonton wedding photographer

02.03.12 Posted in lifestyle

To all husbands out there, please take note what I am about to say :)

When Nathan wrote me back in the summer, he had this amazing idea of setting up a surprise shoot for his wife, Brandi, on their anniversary. He wrote … I would LOVE to surprise my wife with a shoot this summer. We haven’t gotten a couple session done in a couple of years….it was right before out little guy was born. So I know she’d love it, just the two of us. Being the romantic that I am, I was beyond impressed and touched by Nathan’s email. I always find it extra sweet and extra special when married couples continually do cute things for each other.

Being amazing photographers themselves, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t just a teensy bit nervous photographing Brandi and Nathan. They would never admit to this, but they were naturals in front of the camera. Oh yah they were. They were also good sports, doing anything I ask of them. Of course it goes without saying this was one of those sessions where it was impossible to pick just a few favourites. I love them all.

Brandi and Nathan, thank you for giving me a glimpse into your wonderful marriage. And for reminding me to do something nice to my better half today and everyday.

much love,

Sharon

justine + chase . the wedding | edmonton wedding photography

12.15.11 Posted in wedding

If there was such a place called the “wedding heaven”, I was there on Justine and Chase’s amazing wedding day. So much so my heart was pounding as I was editing these photos. And even now that I am done editing them, I feel butterflies in my stomach every time I look at them. Justine and Chase, you two are BEAUTIFUL. Believe it or not, their wedding was planned in short 5 months. Yes, 5 months. It amazes me how organized they were, not to mention the whole event was overflowed with impeccable style and intricate details.

And that’s not it. During the reception their family and friends surprised them with a flashmob (I know right?!). And just when I thought this wedding couldn’t get any better, it did! Justine and Chase was serenaded by their guest with All you need is love by The Beatles. I have never muttered oh my god, this is the best wedding EVER so many times before. Really, it was unbelievable. Perhaps what is even more amazing than this gorgeous wedding is Justine and Chase themselves. Judging by the love felt in the room and the extent to which their family/friends would go to make them happy, it only goes to show what wonderful people these two are.

Justine and Chase, thank you for inviting me into your lives and entrusting me to capture this important day for you. I am honored beyond words. And thank you so very much for giving me the creative freedom to do what I want and love. You two are my dream come true. I wish you nothing but the best.

Much love, Sharon

Every beautiful wedding starts with a beautiful getting ready. Justine is a girl after my own heart. Accessories galore! Her mama told me she’s been accessorizing since she was a babe.

I am always impressed when people go against the norm and do something that’s true to themselves. Check out Justine’s wedding band, it’s a fidelity wax seal. Different and meaningful.

Justine, I can stare at you all day. You are STUNNING. If I didn’t love you so much, I would be jealous :)

It’s not everyday you get a couple who gives you the creative freedom to do what you want. But Justine and Chase sure did. We came up with this concept of hanging frames together and it turned out better than I had even expected.

I always get asked if my couples are supermodels. Yes, yes they are.

My favorite set from the wedding. Love the intimacy of the darkness and just enough light for their faces.

I love how Justine switched her cream tie for a black one for a night look. See what I mean? She is THE accessorizing queen! So smart.

Every decor you see in this wedding was handmade by Justine and her family. My favorite though, were their table numbers – old ticket stubs from concerts Justine and Chase have been to.

Check out the flashmob. It was no small production! The Enjoy Center provided such an intimate ambience for this wedding.

Justine and Chase, what can I say? I wish I can go back in time and be at your wedding again! Thank you for being who you are, and I hope these photos will help bring back archived memories for you!

susan + benny . the wedding | edmonton wedding photography

12.05.11 Posted in wedding

There are people you meet in life that you instantly fall in love with. I loved Susan and Benny from the moment I met them. She giggles, he squeezes her. She cries, he hugs her. She chats, he listens. I love them. They’re just the perfect ying and yang. Could be Susan’s non judgemental ways or her ability to make people around her feel comfortable and loved, she’s always felt like a friend to me. And because of that, there is nothing I wouldn’t tell her. Then there’s Benny, I admire him a lot. He says little, thinks a lot, works hard, and means well always. And when I see the way he looks at Susan, my heart just melts a little. Susan and Benny tied the knot over the summer, it truly was an amazing day. From a beautiful bridal party to a yelllow Camaro, their wedding will not be one I’ll soon forget.

Susan and Benny, what can I say?! I love you. Thank you for entrusting me to capture your amazing day! Your passion in life inspires me to not only become a better photographer, but also inspires me to become a better person.

I know well all know that the couple wasn't hard to work with (as they're stunning and so in love) but the photos are beautiful in every way!!! WOW!!! The day seemed flawless and perfect in every way, and it seems that you did an amazing job capturing the same Sharon. Amazing talent and a gorgeous couple! :)

December 19, 2011 - 3:54 am marlenevlieg - Stunning photos! I felt honoured to be invited to your wedding. Congratulations and best wishes

December 18, 2011 - 1:03 am Bobby Eapen - The true essence was captured in a mere split second but lasts for an eternity. I really liked the slideshow http://www.sharonlitchfield.com/slideshows/eapen/ Im glad everything turned out soo well. Geez now all your gonna look forward to is the grave stone :(, jk (after Sue is done lecturing you, haha, jk). Good times to be had by all.

December 17, 2011 - 3:42 pm Michelle - I am blown away. I know how beautiful you are Susan, both inside and out, but honestly they haven't invented a word for how wonderful you look on your Wedding Day. The group photos are amazing - you look like movie stars/models! And the photos of the wedded couple would make even the most heartbroken soul believe in love again. I couldn't be happier for you two: I wish and pray that your marriage brings you everlasting joy for the rest of your lives.

December 17, 2011 - 3:33 pm Colin Cutmore - I want to say that it looks like a fairytale wedding but it's better than that. It looks so full of love, full of gravitas, full of soul. You guys looked amazing and the only downside of these photos is that it makes me regret even more that we were not there to share in your special day. Love to you all.

December 17, 2011 - 11:31 am Dad - You guys are the best looking couple.May these memories carry you throughout your lives. The Wedding and reception were wonderfull and these pictures reflects all of it for us to remember. I can't even find the words to explain how good they turned out to be. Its an amazing job. Good work Sharon

December 16, 2011 - 10:16 pm Benny Eapen - Hey Sharon, I have been trying to come up with some words to post that would equal your comments but I just can't seem to find them. All I can say is thank you for all your hard work on our wedding Day, the special moments you have captured will be with us forever. We truly appreciate your talents and are blessed that you shared them with us on our wedding day.

hala & sean . the wedding | edmonton wedding photographer

11.23.11 Posted in wedding

Hala and Sean are the kind of couple that makes me love doing what I do. To begin with, they are one of the sweetest, most loving couple I’ve ever met. I’m sure everyone who knows them would know what I mean.  The immense amount of respect and appreciation they have for each other, for their families and friends, and for all those around them was truly inspiring to watch.

When I think back to Hala and Sean’s day, many things come to mind. I think of Hala’s Dad’s speech. He spoke about how proud he is of his first born, he spoke about his first impression of Sean, but then quickly followed up with how much he trusts Hala as she always make the right decisions :) I think of Sean’s thank you speech to his Mom. Thinking about it now some 3 months later still gets me a little choked up.  I think of Hala’s sisters, Deema and Jenna, and how close they all are with each other. These girls were funny, witty, not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Really made me wish I had sisters of my own!

Hala & Sean, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for giving me the chance to do what I love to do.

Also a very special thank you goes out to all the vendors who helped make Hala and Sean’s day a beautiful and memorable affair!

Wedding Management and Design: Jennifer Bergman Wedding |  Makeup Artistry: Anita Gill |  Stationary: Pinkpolka Wedding Design |  Floral: Kate Ashton Florists  |  Cake: Simply Elegant |  Musician: Lindsey Nagy and Jesse Peters

Much love,

Sharon

Nothing sets the tone of the day better than a beautiful bridal prep. I love ohh-ing and ah-ing over all the pretty details and accessories.

Um Hala, you are crazy gorgeous!!

Hala & Sean opted for a first look before the ceremony. I always find these to be so intimate and sweet.

The girls were simply gorgeous. I love Hala’s choice of the bridesmaid dresses. They popped in every single picture. Loovvve it!

The boys didn’t disappoint either!

Yet another beautiful decor and design by Jennifer Bergman Wedding. Hala and Sean’s decor were clean, fresh, with loads of class.

Branka & Serge . The Wedding | edmonton wedding photographer

11.16.11 Posted in wedding

Branka and Serge’s wedding was one that I’ve been waiting to shoot all summer! Yes, they are amazingly hot, there’s no denying that. But that wasn’t why. When I think back to meeting Branka & Serge the first time, I would have never thought that today, Branka and I, would be on a texting basis.  From the get go, her and I bonded over our immigrant ways. And by the time her wedding rolled around, it really just felt like shooting an old friend’s wedding. Their day was an emotional one for me. Especially every time I looked over at Branka’s Mom or her Maid of Honor, neither of them sported dry eyes the entire day. Even as I was editing, I was feeling the emotions from their wedding all over again.

Branka and Serge, thank you for showing me what it is like to work hard, laugh lots, love deeply, and cherish those most dearest around you. You both have been nothing but delightful to be around. But more importantly, thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to be a part of your amazing day!

Of course, a special thank you also to the uber talented Anita Gill for makeup and Sunita Sumaru for hair.  Amazing work as per usual ladies!

christine & raymond . the wedding | edmonton wedding photographer

11.07.11 Posted in wedding

“Life is about the relationships we have. If I were to die tomorrow, I would die as a happy man. Because I have you, my wonderful family and friends. Because I have this amazing, gorgeous woman standing beside me to spend the rest of my life with.” Yes, 5th wedding in, I finally broke down and cried during Ray’s thank you speech.

In the short time that I have known Christine and Ray (10 months to be exact), I have felt nothing but warmth and welcomed whenever I am around them. Without fail they always ask me about my nursing and photography. Without fail they always ask me about my family, they always ask me about my step-son, Shea (which very few people do). Without fail they always welcome me into their home. It seems simple you may say, but it’s through these little small gestures they show they care. It’s nice to be around Christine and Ray, they’re honest, real, and march to the beat of their own drum.

It’s amazing where life can take us sometimes. I’m so glad mine has brought me to these two. Christine and Ray, thank you again for everything.

Much love and appreciation,

Sharon

Check out Christine’s exquisite bridal clutch from AngeeW. If you look closely, you can see that a photo of her and Ray is printed inside the purse lining!

Christine, are you real?! Or are you a porcelain doll? I’ve said this a billion times to you, you’re so beautiful!!!

Possibly one of my favorite garter photo I have taken. And check out their center pieces, Christine and Ray made it themselves. Yes, they chopped wood, smoothed it, dried it, the whole sch-bang. Unbelievable.

Jay & Joe . Married | edmonton wedding photographer

11.02.11 Posted in featured, wedding

Jay and Joe’s wedding is one I hold dear to my heart. It was a wedding where I experienced my many firsts. The first wedding of mine that got published on Style Me Pretty, the first wedding where the couple decided to do a first look, the first wedding that took place in a restaurant, the first wedding where I witnessed the Dueling Pianist, the list goes on!

Shooting the bride getting ready has always been one of my favourite part of a wedding! Jay totally spoiled me with her Jimmy Choo’s, Coach clutch, and her ornate earrings. Not to mention, Jay’s stunning gown and the bridesmaid’s dress. The whole thing was just sheer perfection!

Jay & Joe opted to have their wedding ceremony and reception at Lux Steakhouse and Bar. I love it when a couple does something a little different and stay true to their own style. The venue provided such an intimate ambience. And when you have Jennifer Bergman Weddings design your event, let me tell you, one will not be disappointed. Check out the gorgeousness!

Having never witness the Dueling Pianists before, I was AMAZED and completely BLOWN away by their talent. One of Jay & Joe’s wishes for their wedding was to provide an awesome party for their family and friends, and that they did!!

Jay & Joe, thank you so so much for allowing me to be a part of your amazing day!! I wish you both the best as you start this amazing journey together. Of course, special thank you’s goes out to all the vendors who helped planned this STUNNING event.

Event Planning and Design – Jennifer Bergman
Stationery – Pinkpolka Wedding Design
Floral Design – Laurel’s on Whyte
Venue –  Lux Steakhouse and Bar
Dueling Pianists – Lindsey Nagy and Jesse Peters

XOXO,

Sharon

sabrina + fil . engaged | edmonton wedding photographer

10.24.11 Posted in engagement

I’ve been looking forward to blogging Sabrina and Fil’s engagement session ever since I shot it last month! You can probably tell judging from all the photos I’ve blogged here that I was having trouble picking out my favourites! Sabrina and Fil, what can I say? Thank you for braving the crazy wind (although we got some cool flying hair shots out of it), thank you for doing whatever I asked no matter how weird it may seem. Most of all, thank you for instilling trust in me.

Much love,

Sharon

*Thank you Sunita for the amazing hair and makeup on Sabrina.

dana & rich . the wedding | edmonton weddding photography

10.17.11 Posted in wedding

At the risk of sounding super cheesy, I want to say Dana & Rich are the kind of couple that inspires me to be better. As in a better person, a better wife, a better friend, a better photographer, you get the idea. I remember going home at the end of  Dana and Rich’s wedding and hugging Jeff a little harder that night. Dana and Rich, thank you so so much for being who you are and for being so genuine to all those around you.

Much love,
