Esther and Nathan’s wedding is coming up soon, so you’ll see more of them on the blog! Esther is an elementary teacher, and chose her school to start off the shoot. I love these photos of her reading to Nathan – they are too cute! Esther and Nathan have so much fun together...

Jessica and Jeremy’s wedding was a joyous celebration of love, family, community, and faith. It was beautiful to see them celebrate their union amongst family and friends. Jessica is awesome – the first bride I’ve seen playing video games before the ceremony...

We were so lucky to work with the gorgeous Agerbak family recently – it’s easy to see where the kids get their good looks from! Mom picked awesome bright colours for everyone to wear. A good word to describe this little girl: precocious! ...

Last year Ashu and Garry had us chronicle a year of photos – their love in each season. We were so inspired by their incredibly uniqueidea, we have decided to add a new type of session to Shandro Photo and Shandro Kids. Introducing – A Year of Love...

Katy and Jon were married on a beautiful Friday afternoon. They are very active in their church, and had a large number of guests come to celebrate with them...

Laura and Joe were sensational during the shoot – we basically gave them no direction, just let them be with each other. They were so affectionate; the love between them is overwhelming. We can not wait for their wedding in 2010!

Our little neice Cali is 5 weeks old, and Brody is nearing two! Proud (and busy!) mom Krista visited our studio with her two little ones. This wagon was Michael’s when he was a boy. He received two and this one was left in the box since 1977...

We were so happy to travel to Waterton National Park for Nicole and Jesse’s wedding. Not only were good friends getting married, but the mountain setting was absolutely stunning. It was any wedding photographers dream. The ceremony was held at the Bayshore Inn right on the lake...

Yay! Twins! Natasha & Glenn are expecting two bundles of joy. We stopped in to Fuss Cupcakes on Whyte Ave for some appropriately frosted treats (they are having a boy and a girl). Yummy! Natasha is incredibly stylish, she makes maternity style sizzle! Love this one...

One of our favourite clients Ashu is celebrating the life of her dog Gizmo, as he is nearing the end of his days. Gizmo has been a beloved pet for 15 years, and we spent some time with Ashu, her family, and Gizmo on their beautiful acreage...

So much fun! We spent a great evening with Param and Ronnie at a park in Mill Woods for their engagement photos. They love spending time enjoying the outdoors with each other. Param looked incredible, and Ronnie agreed that he is a very lucky man. I love evening light in the summer...

True romance. That’s the best description I can think of for Britt and Cody’s wedding. Britt looked amazing in her dress (my favourite of the year so far!), and any little girl seeing her in that dress will dream of her own wedding day, and looking that elegant...

May was a wonderful first month for Shandro Kids. We got to introduce you to lots of cute babies, and sweet moms. We drew for the winner of a canvas print from our clients in May, and the winner was Lenore! Congratulations! Now it’s June, and time for another special. It’s a good one...

We got to experience something incredible tonight, and we can’t go to bed without sharing it with all of you. Romantic lakeshore setting? Check. Friend with a video camera? Check. Photographers? Check. Accapella group? Check. Beautiful engagement ring? Check...

Rob and Lindsay got married! Yay!I introduced Rob and Lindsay a few years ago with the help of Lindsay’s friend Jasmine. On their special day I got to take their photos, and Jasmine did her make-up. Oh yeah, and did I mention that I cried like a little girl during their ceremony...

I know you’re all waiting for photos from Rob and Lindsay’s wedding, and we can’t wait to post them! We’re working really hard to get them up, but we had to share one amazing image with you. More t

Last post for Gurjeet and Renu’s wedding! Day 6 - Ceremony and Dolli The ceremony day was the longest of the wedding. The brides of East Indian weddings have the most amazing stamina - Renu was up earlier in the morning than I care to think about! Here they are both preparing for the day...

This session is so special to me - my incredibly beautiful sister-in-law is going to have a baby! She and her huband Brock came over for an amazing photo shoot in our studio. I’ve seen a few bellies, and I think that Alaina’s might just be the most perfect one I’ve seen...

Day 3 - Ladies Sangeet For this wedding, both sides had a ladies sangeet - any reason to party is a good one! Lots of great dancing with the jaggo and good beats on the dohl. Day 4 - Mendhi Renu’s mendhi was incredible...

For the past 3 days, we’ve had around 20 photographers in our house! We were pleased to host Ben Chrisman, an incredible photographer from San Francisco for our first annual workshop. (Theworkshop series still needs a name, we’re working on that. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment!)...

We love taking wedding photos at East Indian weddings. The Sikh community in Edmonton is very close-knit, and we love the ceremonies and culture of Sikh weddings. Every wedding is unique and draws on different traditions...

Was Gurjeet and Renu’s the best wedding of the year? I don’t know, but everyone else is going to have to work pretty hard if they want to beat this. These were the most amazing performances we have ever seen at a wedding, hands-down. Much more Indian goodness coming to the blog soon...

I’m tempted to say that today was one of my favourite shoots ever. The light was delicious and soft and perfect. Dawn and Dan are so connected and so carefree, which made the shoot a breeze...
