We’ve got lots coming up on the blog this week!
Like Ginger and Mark’s beautiful winter wedding here in Edmonton
and Amanda and Brett’s winter E-Session at the skating rink!
Plus more…a LOT more
See you soon!
From Montego Bay, onto the Mayan Riviera! We were SO pumped to head off to Tyler and Ashley’s Mexican Destination Wedding and even more excited because we had the opportunity to bring our two boys (Casey and Tom), as well as my lovely mother, Judy along for the ride! The whole week was really awesome, as you’ll see in the photos!
We got in contact with Tyler and Ashley through a couple who seem to be regulars here on the Ryan+Beth blog, Anna and Jeremy. You first saw Anna as a bridesmaid at Dani and Vaughan’s gorgeous July 2011 wedding, we then photographed Anna and Jeremy’s newly-wed session in that mind blowing clover field out in the country side. Those two were so great in front of the camera that we had to have them be our models for last years Full Circle || Wedding Photography Workshop! A couple of months later we found ourselves photographing her sister Ashley’s beautiful Mayan Riviera wedding!
So, Ashley and Tyler. Seriously, we have the most genuine, caring, and fun loving clients. Period. I mean really, just look at what these two do for a living – she’s a nurse and he’s an EMT/firefighter. What do kids want to be when they grow up? These two, thats who. That was some bad grammar right there…but you know what I mean. Tyler, Ashley and all their friends and family were so kind and inviting, we instantly felt like part of the group.
Here’s some shots from their Mexican wedding week!
——————
We arrived at the resort at about 4am on Sunday, it was a long trip…but there’s always time for a couple of photos.:)
After shooting some of the details, Beth and I split up. I headed to the beach where the guys were hanging out (tough day hey?). When I got there, I realized that getting the shots might be a bit of a challenge considering they were a mile out at sea!
Here they come. I got to work on my farmers tan for a while at least
The Grand Palladium Riviera was a beautiful place for a wedding. That resort was huge! Congrats Tyler and Ashley!
Shots from their rock the dress session are coming up soon!

Beautiful capture of this Mexico destination wedding! It’s a fun resort for a destination wedding with so many opportunities for photos and stunning backdrops! I love planning destination weddings at the Grand Palladium Riviera Resort!
It was just a little over a year ago that Beth and I were photographing Brittany and Adams awesome January wedding here in Alberta; the weather was chilly (mid minus 30′s at the time!) but I admittedly didn’t even remember about the bitter cold until I was reminded by Beth and Brittany a little while back. What stuck out in my mind about that wedding was how closely connected everybody was. It wasn’t just the wedding that brought the different families together, they were all best friends to begin with! Like go-out-and-have-epic-camping-parties kind of friends. We loved that wedding because of the great people who were a part of it. So you can imagine how pumped we were when Brittany’s sister, Chelsea let us know that they wanted us to photograph their wedding in Jamaica! Awesome people and a week long celebration at an incredible location? Sounds good to us.
Enjoy the photos!
I busted out my favourite camera (which happens to be a medium format film camera) a lot for this wedding! These next three shots (and a lot more in this post) were taken with my lovely Mamiya 645AFD and Fuji 400H film. Love it!
More film shots!
The trees were amazing everywhere we went! The next bunch of photos were all taken on film.
It was such a fun day!
But wait…there’s more. Check back soon for Chelsea’s Rock The Dress session!

Dirty monkey. Bahahaha
We’re really excited to announce this years Beginner Photography Classes! Sharing the fundamentals of great, creative photography is something we absolutely love to do, so we’re looking forward to another awesome day of fun and photographic goodness!
So here’s the rundown:
Who is this class for?
This class is for people who want to capture the world around them in a beautiful, striking and creative way using their digital cameras.
What will I learn?
The key elements of creating great, meaningful photographs
1. being there and being ready
2. seeing the light (how your camera sees it)
3. knowing your gear and how to take control of it; which includes how to shoot manually, learning what aperture, shutter and ISO really do for you and the image YOU want to capture/create, and how to choose the right equipment
4. post processing like a pro (how to take a good photo and make it incredible!)
Why choose this class over others?
The great thing about this class is that what we are teaching will be very useful information to both beginners as well as more advanced shooters. Everything that we are teaching comes from our own experience as working professional photographers as well as from what we’ve picked up in the classes we’ve attended over the years, hosted by some of the best photographers in the world. So there’s lots to learn for everyone!
Small Class Sizes! You won’t be stuck in a pack of 200 other students, sitting 50 feet away from your instructors. We cap our classes at 12 people which puts you right in the action and gives you plenty of opportunities to ask questions and have first hand instruction throughout the class.
We get you out of your seat – camera in hand – to begin putting your new knowledge to use straight away! Forget about the classrooms and notepads for a while and join us for a real world photo walk.
Four solid hours of classroom/shooting time and a small 12 person class size makes for an incredible learning environment!
What do I need to bring?
- a digital camera that has the ability to be fully controlled by the photographer – This includes all DSLR cameras (the ones with interchangeable lenses) and any digital camera with a full manual control setting.
- your cameras owners manual – this isn’t an absolute necessity, but it may come in handy!
- any lenses or flashes that you’d like to use though out the class
- a note pad and pen (or a laptop if you’re feeling fancy, but keep in mind that we’ll be heading outside of the classroom for a portion of the class)
Where?
The Woodvale Golf and Country Club which is located at 4540-50st in Edmonton Alberta
When?
There’s two class times to choose from, both on Sunday March 4th, 2012
9AM – 1PM ONLY A COUPLE OF SEATS LEFT!
or
2PM – 6PM REGISTRATION CLOSED
If the last classes were any indication, these seats will sell out FAST! Click the BUY NOW button below that corresponds with which class time you would like.
