Wedding Inspiration

It's That Time Of Year That Most Wedding Photographers Spend On Marketing & Trying To Catch Up On All Things Business Because The Summer & Autumn Months Are Just Too Crazy. That Is Absolutely True For Me. ⁠ ⁠ Lately I've Been Working On My @pinterest Game Because It Gets Sadly Neglected In The Super Busy Season. I Found It Interesting That This Particular Bouquet Is My Most Popular Set Of Images On #pinterest. I'm Not Surprised Because It's Gorgeous. Would This Bouquet Make It To Your "someday" Inspo Board? Head On Over To My Pinterest Account So You Can Pin It!

I Just Wrote A Super Long Post. Was Being Kinda Thoughtful. Then I Had To Refresh My Connection & Lost The Whole Damn Thing. I'm Not Writing It Again!

It's Been A Bit Slow Around Here For The Last Few Months. I Kind Of Did That Deliberately To Give Me Time Off To Get Ready To Sell Our House, To Finally Move Closer To The Mountains, To Try To Get A Little Bit Of Life Back & To Have Some Downtime. The World Is A Funny Thing & It's Given Us All A Lot Of Downtime. I Am Sad Because We Likely Have To Pull Our House Off The Market, Who Is Looking At Buying Houses Right Now, Seriously? That's Going To Slow Our Plans To Move Away From Edmonton, Who Knows For How Long. We Will Be Bringing The Kitties Back Home From Boarding & I Am Truly Happy For That Because We Miss Them So Much. It's Not Home Without Them Here. I Haven't Been Sleeping Much Lately, So Many Scenarios Are Running Through My Mind & I Like To Build Plans. Yesterday's Elopement In Banff With Erin & Crystal & Just A Few Close Family Was Exactly What I Needed. I Think It's Something We All Needed. It Was A Great Time Even Though The Mountains Didn't Disappoint With Psychotic Weather That Changed A Few Times In A Matter Of Hours. And Don't Worry About Social Distancing... I Tend To Shoot Far Away & I Warn You When I Am Coming Close & I Don't Stay There For Long, So We Were All A-ok! So For Now, Take A Moment & Enjoy Something Optimistic & Beautiful Before We All Have To Return To The Scary Uncertain World. We Will Get Through It. And Yes, I Have Been Guilty Of Stockpiling. But It's Not What You Think. Ok, Maybe It Is. I've Been Stocking Kitty Litter & Cat Food. Yup, In All Of This, My Kitties & The Homeless Kitties That Rely On Me Are Still Top Of Mind!

The Far Viewpoint At Peyto Is One Of My Favourite Spots... And For Now, It's Not Terribly Crowded! ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #peytolake #peytolakewedding #peytolakeelopement #elopement #helloelopement #mountainelopement #mountainwedding #banff #banffphotographer #banffwedding #banffweddings #banffelopement #adventurewedding #adventurebrides #banffweddingphotographer #banffnationalpark #banffisbeautiful #rockymountainbride #mountainweddings #elopementphotographer #elopementphotography

You Don't Have To Do A 4 Hour Hike To Get Amazing Views On Your Wedding Day If You Don't Want To! There's A Lot Of Great Spots That Are 30 Minutes Or Less! The Trek To The Far Viewpoint At Peyto Lake Is About 25 Minutes From The Lower Parking Lot... And It's Worth Every Second! Especially Because It Smells Like Christmas Trees For Most Of The Walk There!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #peytolake #peytolakewedding #peytolakeelopement #elopement #helloelopement #mountainelopement #mountainwedding #banff #banffphotographer #banffwedding #banffweddings #banffelopement #adventurewedding #adventurebride #adventurebrides #banffweddingphotographer #banffnationalpark #banffisbeautiful #rockymountainbride #mountainweddings #elopementphotographer #elopementphotography⁠

I'm Still Soggy & Cold From Today, The Long Drive Home Was A Hard One With The Crazy Snow, But I'm So Freakin' Excited To Share One From Elizabeth & Aaron's Elopement In Lake Louise Today. The Ice Castle Was Finished & I Think We Got The First Wedding Photo With It! The Snow Was Magical, But You What Was Even More Magical? Making The People Disappear Without Using Photoshop! ⁠ ⁠ Venue: @fairmontcll⁠ Wedding Planner: @signature_weddings⁠ Hair & Make-up: @blushandcoco⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #winterwedding #winterelopement #chateaulakelouise #lakelouisewedding #lakelouiseelopement #elope #eloped #elopementwedding #banffphotographer #helloelopement #elopementphotographer #lakelouise #winterlove #lovewinter #icecastle #elopement #elopementlove #winterweddings #mountainelopement #mountainwedding #wedphotoinspiration

When Couples Say They Want A Winter Wonderland Either For Their Wedding Or For A Portrait Session, My First Suggestion Is Lake Louise! Emerald Lake Is Close Second. It's Pretty Much A Guaranteed Winter Wonderland From November To May, Whereas Banff Or Canmore Tends To Have Way Less Snow & Can Be A Little Unpredictable In How Wintery It Will Look.⁠ ⁠ Lake Louise Can Be Tricky With The Weather. The Snow We Had Yesterday Was Unrelenting. It Was Warmer Too, So It Was Wet Snow That Just Soaked Through Everything. But It Looked Freaking Magical. It's Hard To Shoot In, My Cameras Had A Layer Of Ice On Them At One Point, But I'd Rather Be Soaked, Frozen & Struggling To Focus So That We Can Shoot In Something That Looks This Amazing Then Go For Inside. You Don't Go To The Mountains For Photos Inside, Or At Least, You Don't If You End Up Shooting With Me! We Suffer The Elements Together To Make Something Truly Remarkable For You That Shows Off The Glory Of Nature, No Matter What It Throws At Us!⁠ ⁠ The Crazy Snow Would Not Give Us Mountain Views, But I Found This Great Spot In The Trees With A Natural Arch For The Ceremony. When It's Snowing That Hard, You Really Need A Darker Background For Contrast, Otherwise It Just Looks Like You Are On A White Backdrop!⁠ ⁠ Wedding Planner: @signature_weddings⁠ Hair & Make-up: @blushandcoco⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #winterwedding #winterelopement #forestwedding #lakelouisewedding #lakelouiseelopement #elope #eloped #elopementwedding #banffphotographer #weddingceremony #elopementphotographer #lakelouise #winterlove #banffisbeautiful #woodlandwedding #elopement #banffnationalpark #winterweddings #mountainelopement #mountainwedding⁠

No Big Deal, Just Got Dropped Off By A Helicopter In This Amazing Place & Had It All To Ourselves (except For The 8 Billion Mosquitoes That Were Eating Us Alive, But Who Is Complaining?)! That's One Way To Get Epic Mountain Views Without Battling The Crowds!⁠ ⁠ Flight: @rockiesheli In Cline River⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #helielopement #helicopterelopement #heliwedding #adventurewedding #adventureelopement #elopementweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #elopementwedding #adventurouswedding #adventureouslovestories #adventureouscouples #adventurouslovers #lakeofthefalls #mountainwedding #mountainelopement #rockymountainwedding #rockymountainbride #canadianrockies #adventurebrides #elopementplanner #letselope #wedphotoinspiration

Why Do I Love Twirl Photos So Much? There's A Few Reasons.⁠ ⁠ 1. It Shows Off The Back Of Your Dress & Hair Really Nicely.⁠ ⁠ 2. It Gets You Moving & Helps Warm You Up Just A Little When It's Cold Out.⁠ ⁠ 3. Its Fun & Playful & You Don't Have To Think About Your Expression Or Your Pose, You Just Do It & It's Always Beautiful!⁠ ⁠ 4. It Gives The Twirlee (is That A Even A Word?) A Break From Holding The Bouquet (those Things Are Heavy After Holding Them For A While!) Because I Make The Twirler (ok, You Know What I Mean) Hold It So The Twirlee Can Hold Her Dress As To Not Get Tangled & Trip Over It! Practical On A Few Levels!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #mountainweddingphotographer #mountainelopementphotographer #twirling #winterwedding #winterelopement #yohonationalpark #emeraldlakewedding #emeraldlakeelopement #canadianrockies #twirl #banffelopementphotographer #elopementwedding #banffphotographer #helloelopement #elopementphotographer #rockymountainbride #rockymountainweddings #winterlove #banffweddingphotographer #elopement #elopementlove #winterweddings #mountainelopement #mountainwedding

When You Work In An Area So Much, It's Fun To Try To Find A Slightly Different Angle Or Elevation To Just Make It Look A Little Bit Different. We Climbed Up A Small Bank Near Lake Minnewanka And Used Angles To Block Out The Road Below! Looks Like We Are Far From People!

I'm Finally Back Home! I Spent A Week And A Half In Newfoundland Visiting My Dad. I Spent Much Of The Time There All Messed Up Since I Couldn't Adjust Well To The Time Change. I'm A Night Person, So I Usually Don't Go To Bed Before Midnight, Usually Later.... So I Spent A Lot Of Time Staring At The Ceiling Until 3 Or 4 Am In The Morning Because I Just Couldn't Get To Sleep. I've Managed To Get Back To A Normal Sleep Schedule Now That I'm Home And I Feel So Much Better. Now I'm Getting Excited For The Winter Weddings That Are Coming Soon! I Can't Wait To Get Back To Lake Louise When It Looks Like This! . . . . . #mountainwedding #banffwedding #banffphotographer #yycweddingphotographer #wanderingphotographers #mountainbride #banff #rockymountainwedding #canmorephotographer #canmorewedding #canadianwedding #rockymountains #destinationwedding #lakelouise #lakelouisewedding #elopement #love #engaged #wedding #weddinginspiration #wanderlust #junebugweddings #theknot #elope #elopementphotographer #elopementcollective #elopementwedding #mybanff #winterwonderland #winter

There's A Special Time Each Year When Fall And Winter Mingle... You Get The Snowy Whiteness Against That Blue Green Water And It's Just Amazing. It's Hard To Predict, But I Don't Think I'll Be Getting To Shoot At Lake Louise During This Special Time This Year... I'm Kinda Sad About That! . . . . . #lakelouise #lakelouisewedding #winterwedding #winterweddings #winterwonderland #winteriscoming #wintertime #banff #intimatewedding #travelalberta #outdoorwedding #banffnationalpark #mybanff #canmore #canadianrockies #mountains #banffbride #rockymountainbride #bride #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingphotography #weddingdress #weddinginspo #weddings #weddingphotographer #instawedding #vintagestyle #vintagewedding #mountainwedding

I'm Obsessed With Buying Blankets. I Just Can't Say No To A Pretty One. I Especially Love This Black And White Checked One. I Get A Lot Of Use Out Of My Blankets In The Winter, They Add A Cozy Feel For Photos... And It Helps Me Push My Couples To Stay Out In The Cold Just A Little Bit Longer! . . . . . #banff #banffnationalpark #canadianrockies #lakelouise #lakelouisewedding #winterwedding #outdoorwedding #woodlandwedding #weddinginspiration #weddingphotography #weddinginspo #weddingday #weddingstyle #brideandgroom #instawedding #winterbride #thatsdarling #weddingphoto #banffwedding #mountainbride #mountainbrides #elopement #elope #elopementlove #elopementinspiration #winterwonderland #theknot #lookslikefilm #loveintentionally #dirtybootsandmessyhair

This Engagement Session Was 2 Years Ago (and They've Been Married For Almost A Year And A Half Now!) And It's Still One Of My Favourites! I've Never Been Able To Get The Light To Do This Again, But I'll Keep Trying! I'm Happy @kayla_new7 & @johnny_new Got This Extra Special Magic Light!

If You've Worked With Me Before, You Know That You Have To Work A Little To Get A Great Photo. I'm Going To Make You Climb Things And Sit In Uncomfortable Places And Hold Poses For A Little While That Might Feel Like A Bit Of An Ab Workout... It's Hard Work Being A Model, You Know! But It's Worth It! I Promise!

I Always Recommend A Stop At The Nearby Natural Bridge When Couples Get Married At @emeraldlakelodge. The Scenery Is Amazing! Definitely Worth Making Time In The Day For The Short Drive Out!

...and Just Like That, Winter Wedding Season Has Started! Today Ashley & David Were Married At @fairmontbanff, So I Felt We Needed A Stop At Surprise Corner To Get The Hotel In The Background For A Few Photos!

If You Scroll Through My Feed You'll Notice That I Mostly Share Images Shot With Natural Light. You Probably Also Assume That Is All I Can Do. I Prefer Shooting Natural Light Because Shooting With Lights Is A Lot Slower. It Doesn't Mean I Can't Do It. There's Some Places That It's Near Impossible To Shoot Without Using Lighting And This Corridor At The Fairmont Banff Springs Is One Of Those Places, Especially In The Evening When The Light Has Long Gone Outside. I Don't Think Ashley's Twirl Could Have Been Anymore Perfect Either. Comment Below If You'd Like To See More Indoor Photos With Lighting Or If You're Rather Keep Seeing Outdoor Photos With Natural Light!
