MagnaSona Photography | Edmonton Wedding Photographer

Welcome to our blog! Here you can find out what’s been going on lately with MagnaSona, check out some recent (and not so recent) photos from all kinds of different shoots we’ve done, and find out what’s on the horizon for the upcoming year in photography. Have a read, leave a comment if you like, we always love to hear from you.

As you are planning your wedding, family reunion, or some other type of big event you may have many questions such as:

• Why hire a professional photographer?
• What types of wedding photo packages are available?
• How can I arrange a photographer at my resort wedding?

We just posted a FAQ section where you can have a look and get answers to many common questions regarding hiring an Edmonton wedding photographer and all that it entails.

If you’re feeling a little lost, in another recent article we’ve give a tour of the new MagnaSona Photography website.

Hey this is Beth, Ryan and I want to share our exciting news with you. MagnaSona has launched a new website with the help of Edmonton-based web design company Pixel Savvy, which showcases three of our favorite styles of photography—wedding, commercial, and portrait photography. As our studio’s portfolio is growing we decided that a more professional site is in order. We searched all over for a cleaner look that would be easier for you to find what you’re looking for.

MagnaSona Photography Portfolio

Once you enter the new MagnaSona site there are three main menu buttons that will take you where you want to go. The buttons are along the side as follows: info, portfolio, and contact. Keeping it clean and simple.

The ‘Info’ button takes you to our wedding investment pricing; there you will find wedding packages as well as ‘a la carte’ options to create a package that is as unique as your wedding day. Also under info you will find a button that takes you to our blog (where you’re at right now, as a matter fact). The blog is a new feature that will help us keep you up to date with the latest MagnaSona news. Whether it is a recent wedding we’ve photographed or a recent commercial shoot, we’ll keep it current. The last thing you will find under info is the “About Us” section. This part of the site goes into detail about the photographers of MagnaSona (Ryan and I) and what we do. To learn more you’ll just have to check it out for yourself!

When you want to view samples of our work, simply click on the ‘view portfolio’ button. From there the choice is yours, you can either view wedding photos, commercial photography, portraits, or our favorites. There are plenty of new images up. With high resolution and full screen images you won’t want to miss a picture. Within the weddings gallery you’ll find it all from adorable flower girls to handsome grooms and their groomsmen, and of course, gorgeous brides! In the commercial gallery we put up some motorcycle photos that Ryan captured while hanging on for dear life on the back of a truck. We’ve also got some photos of some lovely cupcakes (those were not as life threatening to shoot), which were shot in our own studio (we had to use a lot of will power not to EAT them before the shoot was done), not to mention the live band and fireworks photography from last years Canada Day, plus a ton of other great shots. Don’t forget to check out the portraits and personal favorites section as well! Some of the favorites include shots from way back in the days of using film (which we still like to use now and again when the situation calls for it). We hope you enjoy checking out the new photographs.

When you go to ‘contact us’ you can email us directly from the website. Or you can always pick up the phone and give us a call, we would love to talk to you. Let us know what you think of the new site.

Pictage Photo Proofing & Printing

As we mentioned in our previous post about the upcoming website, we are now using a great company called Pictage for all our online proofing, printing and event organization, so everything is now very streamlined and easy to use. All of our future clients will receive a link to their own Pictage page where their friends and family can view pictures from their event very soon after it has taken place. Pictage also offers a really great printing service with secure credit card billing and prints shipped right to your door! We will also have a direct link to our previous online proofing system, which enables our clients to view and download high-resolution images from their wedding or event but does not offer a printing service. Both proofing sites will be easy to access and straightforward to use and we are really excited to offer these services to all our clients at no extra charge.

Ta ta for now!

MagnaSona Photography is very excited to announce that with the help of Pixel Savvy, we are constructing a brand new website!

As we’re sure you’ll agree, the most important factor in choosing a professional photographer for your wedding or event is their current portfolio. So when it was time to decide on a website design, we went BIG on the portfolio side of things! We love the images we capture so we wanted to put their best foot forward and present them to our guests at full screen and with beautifully high resolution. There will be four portfolios for your viewing pleasure:

Wedding Photography

Showcasing some of our work from the past year and presenting our unique style of wedding photojournalism in and around the Edmonton area. Check back often for more image updates as we shoot more weddings throughout the year.

Commercial Photography

We get the opportunity to photograph some amazing events and products throughout the year and here you will be able view some of our most exciting and artistic work to date. From ice racing to live bands to cupcakes, one thing is for sure, no two shoots are alike at MagnaSona.

Portrait Photography

From lovely family photos taken with a natural fall backdrop, to up close and personal head shots of musicians and other news makers, you will quickly see that MagnaSona Photography knows no boundaries in the portrait photography field.

Favorite Photos

We have loads of images that we love, but some just don’t fit into one of the other three portfolios, so we have created a “Favs” portfolio that includes anything and everything! From water droplets leaping out of a bowl, to wild parrots, to sweeping landscapes, to baseball players warming up for a game.

It will now be easier then ever to get in contact with us! The new site will have a contact form that is sent directly to us so there is no need to use your own email to ask questions or book shoot dates.
