Holly and Chase choose to do their bridal portraits before their ceremomny so I chose for them a location to set their eyes on each other for the first time!  Riverside Park, along the Bow river was perfect, with big mountain views and this little tree that created heaps of passion between them before they got to see each other!!!

Formal ceremony was held at Silvertip Golf Resort in Canmore, Alberta and was commissioned by the beautiful Barbra Parker.

It is always the such a beautiful day at work covering an Emerald Lake Lodge wedding.  Zara ad Marcus contacted me about their Spring 2016 Emerald Lake Lodge wedding last fall.  Luckily I had availability and I was able to be a part of this truly compelling wedding.  Their excitement and love for each other was simply beautiful to be around!  These two never took their eyes from each other with smiles from ear to ear!  And so much family support and love… uff it was simply wonderful!   We had their ceremony in front of the Cilantro Bistro and their reception as well in that breathing venue.  With grand views of big snowcapped mountain and delicate spring light flooding the guests with warm sun,, the day could not have been more perfect!  I have to admit I love my job, how lucky am I to be a part of making such lasting memories stay alive though photography!

Special thanks to Emerald Lake Lodge and Jen for always making our weddings together so amazing to photograph!!

Jenna and Cory’s wedding was exceptionally fun and filled with so much love, friends and family!  Their choice of venues and vendors made for a seamless day filled with non stop laughter!  I hope you enjoy their photos and I send a special thanks to Murrieta’s and their amazing DJ !!!

Laura and Conor met with me a year and a half before their date wedding, their up-beat energy and enthusiasm that they share for what seems like everything in life,  was so contagious.  When they chose me to capture their wedding I knew this was going to be simply something really cool to be a part of… but I had no idea the magnitude of how special it would be.  When we met 10 months or so later to do their engagement session they showed up in super sexy fun cloths and after about a half hour into our session Laura says… “So we brought paints and thought it could be fun to use them in the photos…” and in the blink of an eye they go from urban-sexy to oh-natural, hair pulled back t-shirts on and the games began…! Here are some re-caps….  Below theses is their wedding day!  It was something to remember-  so filled with love,  joy and absolute support for their wedding union!  Laura and Conor you two are very blessed…. no question about that!!!

They chose Solara to get ready in as each room is fully equipped with big lux kitchen’s and high ceilings, huge windows and space omega for getting ready in and they shared their ceremony reception at the marvellous Silvertip Restort.  They also hired the uber talented  Ashely, from Signature Weddings by Ashley  as their wedding Planner– Making their wedding day completely stress free and seamlessly perfect!

This couple have one of the sweetest love stories filled with passion and a strong love for the outdoors, dancing and family!  Jill is a Canadian who met the love of her life  (Rolf is a mountain climber from Switzerland) while on an international adventure. As it can happen the happiness they felt together brought Rolf to move to Canada to be with Jill!  Ironically I personally met Rolf while ice climbing a couple of year ago and I asked him “Why would you  leave a beautiful place like Switzerland?”  And he replied “I met this wonderful Canadian girl”.  A year later he called me and said that wonderful Canadian girl said she would marry him and they asked me to capture their wedding!  I was honoured!  They shared their wedding celebration in Jills Parents back yard in the breathtaking Ghost River– camping style!!  Many of Rolf’s family flew over from Europe to celebrate their wedding as did their international collection of super fun friends!  They had an outdoor games time post ceremony where everyone had a blast mingling and playing rad games like slackening.

Given the amount of family support and passion these two share I was blessed to get to be a part of their day… I have a great sense these two will rock marriage!!!

As you can see they were very smart to have rented the big white heated dome tent as the rain storm moved in so quick just as they were about to walk down the isle!

Amazing flowers by Willow Flowers in Canmore!

I can not praise the work of Signature Wedding by Ashley enough!  Check out how beautiful this arrangement and decor is!  I love Silvertip too so very much as a venue… isn’t is simply stunning!!!

I think the feeling of seeing Lyndel in her dress for the first time was something I will not ever forget… I have never seen such an exquisite and elegant cut outline a body in a way that was so graceful and timeless, yet so hyper sexy awesome!  Lyndel with her sweet modest and quite beauty, (anyone who knows her would agree with)  turned the heads of every person in the Chateau Lake Louise that day!  In these photos you will see where Bob seen her for the first time pre-cermony in private, which is not the traditional way which that an unveiling happens,  but we made a choice months before that they woudl be best with their guest directly after the ceremony!  I arranged for us to meet in the Chateau’s  Victoria Ballroom for her officially unofficial unveiling… Just watch in the photos the way he loves her, I don’t think one second passed that he didn’t have her held so tight it would and would have leave any spectator of this couple so happy for the love they share!

I hope you all enjoy their photos and I can not thank Marion enough for her beautiful ceremony she prepared for us and this wonderful couple for choosing me to capture their heartfelt wedding.
