Calgary Family and Wedding Photographer
It was a pleasure to photograph this beautiful couple’s wedding at Heritage Park in Calgary. Huge thanks to M Photography for lending a hand, it’s way more fun to shoot a wedding with another photographer! Michelle was glowing and Aaron couldn’t stop smiling. It was the perfect summer wedding!
I am delighted to announce Ryan and Julie’s wedding!!! These two tied the knot at Cherry Creek Estate just outside of Kimberley, BC and it couldn’t have been more perfect!
Ryan and Julie met online and after a few years of dating, he attempted to propose on the top of Machu Pichu! I say attempted because of a series of events on the ever long trail he ended up waiting four days after their hike to Machu Pichu and proposed while the two were sitting in a hammock in Peru. How perfect does that sound?! You can read their proposal story here.
Julie and Ryan decided to do a first look before the ceremony started. I loved the look on his face when he first saw her! The two of them were just beaming!
The wedding was truly beautiful. The ceremony was lovely and they were surrounded by family and close friends. Julie looked stunning in her wedding gown and her bouquet and long veil (perfect for a windy day) were beautiful. What made things even more perfect was the fact that the fountain went off behind them right when they had their first kiss and husband and wife.
After the ceremony, we headed out for formal photos. The grounds were beautiful and the people at Cherry Creek Estate were wonderful and drove us around to get to different locations. There were so many beautiful options for photos at Cherry Creek! The Buggy Barn was awesome for the groomsmen! And, we even drove out to a place with the mountains in the background, which was perfect as Ryan and Julie really wanted the mountains in some of their wedding photos.
Their reception was also pretty wonderful and was held inside a beautifully decorated barn with details to represent the couples’ interests. The homemade jam favors were darling, and I loved that they had special coloring books and crayons for the kids (and a few of the adults too 🙂 )! The food was amazing and the slideshow and letter from Ryan’s grandpa back in Eastern Canada were awesome!! I even snuck this wonderful couple out mid-reception to grab a few photos with the horses!! Julie loves horses so this was a perfect end to a perfect day! Thanks for letting me share your special day with you, Ryan and Julie, and I wish you all the best!
I am so excited to share the wedding of Brittany and Dalin, who are such a wonderful couple. They were married in the Calgary Temple on a VERY wet and VERY windy day, but that didn’t stop them from enjoying every second. Really, I don’t think I have experienced wind that strong in Calgary, ever. The wind was ripping umbrellas and nearly knocking people over! Crazy!! But Brittany and Dalin were all smiles. They looked so happy. Brittany looked stunning in her champagne lace wedding dress and I loved that the bridesmaid all wore different dresses all in cream. The whole bridal party looked fantastic.
Thankfully the rain stopped later in the day and the wind had settled a little bit, so we were able to get the family photos in before the reception started. Britt and Dalin’s reception was held at the Wainwright Hotel at Heritage Park. It was decorated simply lovely with vintage touches and soft pink accents. Their reception was a great celebration surrounded by family and close friends. I’m grateful to have been able to be a part of their special day.
I had to throw this group shot in, it was just too funny. The wind was HORRIBLE that day! I’m so glad they all could laugh about it.
I’ve got another beautiful wedding for you guys today! The adorable couple consists of Zac (who just so happens to be my cousin) and Maddie, two people that anyone would love to know. My hubby and I decided to make this a family trip as the wedding was in Utah and I’m so glad we did! My girls fell in love with Maddie when they first met her and the boys couldn’t wait to hear all about Zac playing football for Southern Utah University. What was even better was that Zac and Maddie were so kind and thoughtful and didn’t mind all the questions and the little kids wanting to be around them.
Zac and Maddie’s wedding day was truly wonderful. You could feel the love they have for each other. They had a beautiful Salt Lake Temple wedding. If you ever have a chance to visit Salt Lake make sure to visit the temple grounds. They are absolutely stunning!! Zac and Maddie’s reception was held at The Vista at Cedar Hills Golf Club, and it was simply beautiful. The decorations were lovely and everyone had a blast with the Photobooth Bus! My kids absolutely loved it and we even managed to fit my whole “little” family in for a quick picture. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of your special day Zac and Maddie, and wish you all the best!
