About Kinga Dyrda

Kinga Dyrda, Edmonton wedding photographer

Welcome to my blog! My name is Kinga Dyrda, and I am the proud owner of Images By Frost located in Edmonton Alberta. I specialize in wedding photography and engagements but offer a wide range of services in portraits and maternity. I am an Edmonton wedding photographer, but travel all over the world to cover destination weddings. This includes Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Europe. In 2010 I will be servicing Vancouver, British Columbia and surrounding areas.

Hope you have a wonderful time exploring through my blog and getting to know me through photographs and the about me section. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my wedding, engagement, portrait, or maternity photography :o)

Ashley + James = Edmonton Urban Engagement Photography

Monday, July 05 2010

Ashley contacted me while I was away on my photography course in Kyoto, Japan held by Scott Robert Lim and Matthew Jordan Smith (blog post is coming, I promise!). She was finishing up her degree in Halifax and wanted to schedule a photography consultation for her wedding in Edmonton, Alberta.

If these guys entered a, „How Did You Get Engaged?“ contest, they would surely win. James flew all the way to Paris, France for ONE night to propose to his girl! Ashley was wrapping up her Europe trip with a girlfriend. Imagine her surprise when she saw James on one knee by a gorgeous fountain with a ring in his hand?! I mean, seriously, can you imagine? This gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. Wow! So romantic.

As you can see, I was--and still am--floored.

We almost canceled our engagement session. That particular day, the rain clouds were rolling in like mad. In spite of the thunder shower warnings, we decided to go ahead. I am really glad we did. We chose an urban setting for their engagement photographs ... I honestly cannot recall how many locations we shot, but it was a full two hours worth. I can't recall where the time went.

As you can see, Ashley and James are super cute together.Their big day is this August 28 and I can't wait to shoot this couple on their big day.

Silhouette Shot of Couple

Funny story about this shot. As we were driving to our next location I noticed this tiny spec of light. I just HAD TO take advantage of it.                   I must be honest in that it did NOT smell too nice in there ... we lasted 10 seconds, but I am glad we did it!

The silhouette on the left hand side is one of the best layouts I have EVER seen. I love it.

Wow, Kinga! Amazing shots all around! Especially love the spotlight shot! I'm also loving the left hand shot on the third image as well as their expressions on the right hand side of that image.
