IMP EDMONTON SPECIAL EVENT PHOTOGRAPHERS MEET JASON LEWIS


Recently Jason Lewis from Sex and the City visited Ceili’s Irish Pub in Edmonton Alberta in efforts to raise money for Breast Cancer awareness.

You may know him better as that sexy male supermodel who dated Samantha in the new Sex and the City movie.

The event, which lasted a few hours, had Jason hanging out with the crowd, mingling with local women and posing for pictures for at least an hour. Local media came out as well to cover the event.


When Grant from Ceili’s contacted us at IMP events to photograph this, Eva was very quick to claim this contract. We wonder why...

Edmonton Special Event Photographers Photograph Dreams Take Flight

Recently IMP EVENTS photographed the annual Dreams Take Flight. Dreams Take Flight Edmonton takes children from mentally, physically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds to Disneyland for a day.


Trevor from IMP events took the journey with the group to photograph them throughout the day.


The Edmonton chapter of Dreams Take Flight provides this opportunity to children from as far south as Red Deer and as far north as Yellowknife.

We were absolutely blessed to shoot yet again for the Dreams project.

STIR EDMONTON'S NEWEST LOUNGE





IMP Special Event Photographers were asked to photograph the opening of the new Stir this past weekend in downtown Edmonton.

Shelly at Grey Goose hosted the event in which patrons were treated to all night food from their Stir’s kitchen staff as well as complimentary drinks all night long.


The new room is completely renovated with booths that sport an fashionesque Arabic style coverings, a new room layout and a very cool LED pressurized dance floor that lights up when you dance on it a specific way. Its like a cool mix of the piano in the Tom Hanks movie BIG with the dance floor in Travolta’s Saturday Night fever… Very cool.

Stollery Children’s Hospital Edmonton Alberta Fundraiser 2008

On March 12th IMP Events special event photography photographed the Stollery Children's Hospitals 2008 Radiothon in Edmonton Alberta.

“Throughout the two days more than 100 patients, their families and hospital staff shared inspiring stories with CORUS listeners. More than 300 volunteers answered phone calls from listeners wishing to pledge their support.” – http://www.stollerykids.com/

“Once again Radiothon was filled with emotional and inspiring stories,” said Jennifer Wood, President & CEO of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. “This would not be possible without the incredible commitment from CORUS Radio and support from its generous listeners.”
The Edmonton public raised a grand total of 1.65 million over the two days.


Two of IMP Events primary photographers Trevor and Nick were the photographers for the event. Although both have photographed various Stollery events in the past both Trev and Nick were inspired and humbled by the experience.

As always we were honored to be chosen to photograph for the Stollery Children's Hospital.

Participants of all ages and genders lined up in droves to get their hair died pink then have their heads shaved in order to show their support for the cause. Special guests included athletes from the Edmonton Rush and Edmonton Eskimos as well as guest entertainer Wayne Lee.


This year OVER 1000 HEADS WERE SHEARED and over six hundred and fifty thousand was raised for the The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta.

We at IMP Event Photography are proud to have been involved with such an important charity event.
