Danah & Leo’s Royal Glenora Wedding and U of A Botanical Gardens Wedding
Danah & Leo’s Royal Glenora Wedding and U of A Botanical Gardens Wedding
Danah & Leo’s beautiful fall wedding was one of those Edmonton wedding days that had it all: gorgeous autumn colour, stunning locations, beautiful details, and two of the sweetest people you could ever hope to photograph.
Kristina photographed their wedding day at the Royal Glenora Club, with portraits at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden. Between the beautiful fall surroundings and the elegant setting of the Royal Glenora, there was no shortage of incredible backdrops throughout their day.
But as beautiful as the locations were, Danah & Leo were the real highlight. They were genuinely the sweetest people, and Kristina loved being there to document their wedding day.
A Beautiful Fall Wedding in Edmonton
There is something especially beautiful about getting married in Edmonton in the fall. The changing leaves add so much colour and texture to wedding photographs, and the softer autumn light creates a beautiful, timeless feeling.
Danah & Leo’s wedding was the perfect example.
Their day began with getting ready before heading out for photographs surrounded by the beautiful fall scenery of the University of Alberta Botanic Garden. The gardens provided an incredible variety of natural backdrops, from colourful trees and greenery to winding pathways and quiet spaces for portraits.
Their elegant reception at the Royal Glenora Club brought a completely different feel to the day, creating a beautiful contrast between the natural outdoor portraits and the classic Edmonton wedding venue.
Danah’s Sottero & Midgley Wedding Dress
Danah looked absolutely stunning in her Sottero & Midgley wedding dress from Novelle Bridal.
Her bridal look was elegant and timeless, and it photographed beautifully against the fall colours at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden.
Danah also did her own hair and makeup, with her beautiful hair colour by Alex Charter of AC Style YEG.
Her bridesmaids wore dresses from Azazie Bridal, adding another beautiful element to the bridal party portraits.
U of A Botanical Gardens Wedding Photos
The University of Alberta Botanic Garden is such a beautiful location for wedding photography near Edmonton, and fall may be one of the best times of year to photograph there.
The combination of mature trees, gardens, pathways, greenery, and changing autumn leaves creates so much variety without needing to travel between multiple locations.
For Danah & Leo, the gardens provided the perfect setting for romantic portraits while still giving their photographs a distinctly Alberta feel.
Kristina was able to capture both the beautiful posed portraits and the quieter candid moments throughout their time together. The result is a collection of photographs that feels natural, colourful, and timeless.
Royal Glenora Wedding Photography
After portraits at the gardens, Danah & Leo celebrated their wedding at the Royal Glenora Club in Edmonton.
The Royal Glenora was a beautiful setting for their reception, and their wedding details came together beautifully. Their flowers were from Costco, proving that beautiful wedding flowers don’t have to come with an enormous floral budget.
Their wedding was catered by the Royal Glenora Club, keeping everything conveniently in one beautiful Edmonton wedding venue.
Their cake was created by My Cupcake Mama, and their wedding bands were from Peoples Jewellers. Danah also had her nails done at Urban Nail Bar, adding the finishing touch to her bridal details.
A Beautifully Personal Wedding Day
One of the things that stood out most about Danah & Leo’s wedding was how personal the day felt.
Danah did her own hair and makeup, selected details that felt like her, and even took care of her own floral choice. Nothing needed to be overly complicated to be beautiful.
Leo wore an outfit from Moores Clothing, and together they looked incredible against the fall scenery and the elegant surroundings of the Royal Glenora.
Their ceremony was officiated by Reverend Kent Ryall, followed by an evening of celebrating with their family and friends.
And when it came time to get the party started, Focused Energy Productions kept the music going with DJ Jack.
Beautiful People Make Beautiful Photographs
As photographers, we obviously love a gorgeous location. Beautiful light, fall colour, and incredible architecture can make our jobs pretty fun.
But the people are always what matter most.
Danah & Leo were so kind, relaxed, and genuinely wonderful to photograph. Kristina loved spending the day with them and documenting all of the little moments that made their wedding uniquely theirs.
There is something pretty special about photographing a couple who are completely comfortable being themselves. Add in the University of Alberta Botanic Garden in the fall, the Royal Glenora Club, and two people who are so clearly loved by the people around them, and you have a pretty incredible wedding day.
Edmonton Fall Wedding Photography
If you are planning a fall wedding in Edmonton, the Royal Glenora Club and University of Alberta Botanic Gardenare two beautiful locations to consider for your wedding day and wedding photography.
The gardens offer incredible natural scenery for portraits, while the Royal Glenora provides an elegant setting for celebrating with your family and friends.
And while beautiful locations and details certainly help create gorgeous photographs, choosing a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and who looks for the genuine moments throughout your day is just as important.
Danah & Leo, thank you for being such wonderful people to photograph. Kristina absolutely loved being part of your wedding day and capturing these memories for you.
