30th birthday party at Ampersand27

{May 8, 2015}

It is always a source of immense pleasure when our fellow wedding vendors commission us to cover their personal milestone events. A few weeks ago, it happened again; the talented Mariah of Elegant Earth Details & Decor booked us to cover her 30th birthday party at Ampersand27.

Shimmery Ombre and Pink…

… is the theme that I, Funmi, would describe Mariah’s elegant birthday party, which also had a definite nod to her appreciation of great food and drink provided by her magnificent venue. Mariah blogged about the party and included a different set of images that we took.

Ombre ruffles cake by Cake Affair.Mariah’s guests received these favours, which were sweets, chocolates and PartyLite candles in jar with calligraphed labels.Mariah & her Husband, Sam.Mariah’s Sister illustrated the birthday card envelope with a scene from Mariah & Sam’s trip to Tofino, BC. How lovely!Maple Butter Pork Belly (top) & Rabbit Poutine.Lacquered leg, duck fat potato, peach, white tea celeriac puree.Bourbon butter & apple, roast garlic mash, braised cabbage & corn.

As you can imagine, Mariah, Sam & us started discussing the possibility of an intimate wedding being held at Ampersand27’s Mixer room. It is such a beautiful space, would be great for a wedding reception after a wedding ceremony on an Edmonton High Level Bridge Streetcar, for example.

Thanks Mariah for choosing FO Photography and happy 30th again!
