Did my first stop motion video with Sarah & Ian – very fun:

Leah & Tero, Married!
I asked Leah a few questions about her day….
What was your favorite part of your wedding day?
Aside from seeing each other for the first time which was amazing, we thought the speeches given by our friends and family were amazing. They ranged from touching and sweet, to throw-your-head-back laughing out loud hilarious.
Any unexpected suprises?
Yes, but not in the sense of ‘something went wrong’ surprise. More from our incredibly talented MC, who dredged up and shared in hilarious detail, stories about Tero & I that entertained us and all of our guests.
What was the most emotional moment for you?
Feeling my heart in my chest as I came down the stairs of Hotel Le Germain to see Tero for the first time, and again upon hearing that he had watery eyes as I came down the aisle for the ceremony.
Truly an amazing day that just like everyone says, goes by way too quickly. Despite getting up at 7am to start the hair process, the day really did fly by and it was so special to have all our friends and family there together under one roof.
We worked with a great group of people to pull this day off – first and foremost, our lovely photographer Carla, who truly captured our personalities in the photos. Natasha at the Glencoe Golf & Country Club ensured everything ran smoothly and was just so darn excited for us! Our married videographer team, Matthew & Nandini Westlake who came all the way from Vancouver for our big day and Loriann, our extremely talented florist who also devoted her time to the overall flow of the wedding. Bud, our driver from MC Limos knew all the short-cuts around town and our room at the Hotel Le Germain was top notch.
Jessica & Scott – downtown Calgary Wedding
Jessica & Scott were the first ever couple to tie the knot at the Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary. The wildlife in the area was amusing and the ceremony was dead gorgeous. Such a fun day with a sweet, sweet couple. The reception was held at Escoba Bistro — the food and drink was amazing, and the venue itself was stunning!
Onto the pictures.
Ali & Keith – Married at Confederation Park
Thank you to Savour for letting us in their window! And thanks for selling my husband that lovely mustard. He is King Foodie these days :D
Mike & Michelle – Married!
Mike and Michelle’s Wedding was a visual feast to say the least. These two are so sweet and so in love – I felt really lucky to get to spend the day photographing their wedding.
They were married here in Calgary at the Wild Rose United Church and had their reception at the Shawnessy Barn, which for the record, I did not know existed!
They are now on their honeymoon, doing a crazy roadtrip through the US, checking out all the randomness that they can squeeze in. I think they are on rollercoasters now? Very fun. I’ve totally been lurking their blog.
This wedding has totally been featured on Rock N’ Roll Bride. Very Cool. :)
Anyhoo, onto the pictures!
Lindsey & Regan – Married in Banff
Lindsey found me totally by accident. She was looking to get married in New York City, so naturally Google led her to my page. We had great email chats for awhile, until she realized that I wasn’t a New York local! Flying me out there was not in the cards, unfortunately – Lindsey said she was super bummered out about the situation, but that she would think of me in the future. Well, life happened, and Lindsey & Regan decided a low key affair in Banff would be better. So bam! There I was.
A luscious affair at the Banff Springs Hotel, the day was perfect, except of course for the massive thunderstorm that chased us (soaking wet) out of our first location. We came back to the Hotel and received great hospitality – the concierge pressed Regan’s suit for him superfast and we were off to the races again.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day, enjoy :)
Suprise visit from Mom & Sister who came from across the country to be present.
I love Lindsey’s look here. This was sometime in the middle of the longest bridal march in history. I swear. It went on and on – he would hit a long note, everyone would hold their breath expecting it to be over, but it plodded on, and on, and on. It was great.
So we just got done our set of family photos at the highschool in Banff, and there is this huge pack of kids. I somehow mobilized them into a semi circle and got them to jump up and down and act dumb (that part wasn’t hard!). Totally random and very fun.
Sometimes, the pictures of couples waiting to have their photo taken are the most compelling :)

Rachelle & Eric : Married at the Lougheed House
What a gorgeous wedding at the Lougheed House. I’ve known Rachelle for quite a little while, she has been rolling with team Carla since the very beginning. Her hair salon burned up a little while back (remember to clean your lint traps kids!) and now she’s going strong again at Ymay Hair Studio.
PS, I love Rachelle’s veil. Birdcages are where its at.
Nichole & Kevin – Married in Cochrane
Thanks to Jan at Just Imajan Art Gallery for letting us take photos inside!
The bride wants haybales? I found the Alberta standard bale, frigging Huge!
