Our photography began in nature where we captured award-winning photos of the natural environment but we were drawn to people and capturing the richness of their emotions in photos that will last forever. We use different lenses and angles to create unique compositions. We have worked with many couples planning weddings and elopements throughout Edmonton and the Rocky Mountains and continue to love every minute of what we do. [Edmonton Wedding Photographer]

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer located in Olds Alberta, Canada. To sum me up; I'm a mom to two amazing boys, married to my best friend for over 13 years, a community volunteer and an outdoor enthusiast. I've lived in Alberta for over 15 years but I originally called Ontario home. Growing up in the stunningly beautiful area of Muskoka and Georgian Bay; a passion for landscape photography began at a young age. I grew up with a camera in hand, using film and a dark room. I always loved landscape photography (and still do; you can check it out on Instagram @_sarahmanton) but ten years ago friends of mine really pushed me out of my comfort zone and asked me to be their wedding photographer. After that first experience (despite it being terrifying) I was hooked! Capturing the love between families and couples is such an honour. Love is Love and its inspirational, uplifting and the world always needs more. My approach to capturing you is simple, natural, laid back and non-intrusive. I take a photojournalistic approach, focusing on moments and details; more candid and less posed. I want clients to enjoy their experience with me and absolutely cherish their images.

Some couples find themselves in the position of paying for all of their own wedding expenses, which can be quite the financial burden to take on, and about 40% of Millennials end up in this boat.

While some of us were fortunate enough to be born as extroverts, not everyone feels the same way.

This day is all about you, yes, but does that mean all the attention has to be on you as well? FROM VOWS TO CHITCHAT, WHICH REMAINS SACRED? Traditional weddings often require some degree of performance on the part of the couple, whether that is in the form of reciting...Read more
