Wedding Inspiration

I've Had A Few Weeks Off From Shooting While I Sent My Cameras Away To Be Repaired (all Is Good Now!). I'm Headed Back To Banff This Weekend And I'm Really Hoping This Crazy Cold Weather Will Be Gone. I Don't Mean It's Time For Spring Or Anything, But Single Negative Digits Would Be Fine By Me! ⁣ ⁣ Totally Unrelated To That.... This Week Marks The 15 Year Anniversary Of Derek & I Moving To Alberta! It Was 15 Years Ago This Week That We Said Goodbye To Montreal And Made A Blind Move To Edmonton. I've Never Lived Anywhere As Long As I Have Lived Here, Ever! I Also Never Expected To Make Photography A Business A Few Years After Moving Here. So Many Unexpected Twists And Turns Happen In Life! We Have No Plans To Move Away From Alberta In The Near Future, But The Plan To Move Closer To The Mountains Is Definitely Starting To Come Together!

Heading Back Home Today With My Senses, Heart, Soul And Mind Reenergized, Restored And Ready. Mexico Will Always Have A Piece Of My Heart, And Thanks To The Last Few Days I Feel So Energized, Motivated And More Determined Than Ever To Be The Very Best Wedding Planner I Can Be For My Clients, For My Business And For Myself. I Am So Excited For The Clients, Destinations And Experiences That We Will Have In 2020 And Ready To Hit The Ground Running. And, Thanks To The Immense Hospitality, Incredible Food, Gorgeous Water, My Wonderful Friends And A Little Of The Restorative Sun Of Mexico, I Am Also Taking A Little Magic Home With Me. 💕 ✨✨✨ Photo: @collinpierson // Floral & Decor @canteiroweddings // Dress: @galikarten @dimitrasbridalcouture // Earrings: @mariaelenaheadpieces // Headpiece: @bindi.shop // Tuxedo: @theblacktux // Design: @keshevents 💕// Location: @andazmayakoba.mx // Printed Items: @smittenboutiquechicago // Styling/planning: Yours Truly 😍 . . . . #chicagoweddingplanner #paradise #sand #sea #ocean #tourism #traveling #bodasmexico #beautiful #bodasenlaplaya #editorscirlce #insideweddings #bodasrivieramaya #destinationweddingplanners #cancunwedding #weddingsinmayakoba #beachweddingvenues #weddingplanner #instagood #weddingplannermexico #beachweddingvenues #rivieramaya #mayakobawedding #andazmayakoba #fashionista #becauseofengage #mayakoba #andazwedding #andazmayakobawedding #mexicoweddingplanner

I've Been Thinking Lately About My Favourite Time Of Year To Shoot And I Really Am Leaning More Toward Winter, As Crazy As It Sounds! I Mean, It's Cold, And Windy And Unpredictable, But Those Cotton Candy Tones Get Me Every Time! How About All The Other Photographers Out There? What's Your Favourite Season To Shoot?

Banff In The Winter Is Pretty Darn Amazing! The Temperatures Have Warmed Up A Lot, But The Wind Was Fierce Today For Kendra & Zach's Wedding! They Had The Best Vows! I Was Laughing And Crying A Little While I Was Shooting!

The Sweetest First Look With Handwritten Vows 👰❤️👰 #cocomelody #embracethelove #cocomelodybride 👰: @staley_xo 📷: @savannakayphoto Wedding Dress Style: #ld3734 (in Ivory)

It Looks Like It Was Snowing At Yesterday's Wedding Ceremony... But Nope, We Had Blazing Sunshine. That's Just The Psychotic Wind Hurling The Snow From The Day Before Around Everywhere! Craziness! You Never Know What You're Going To Get In The Mountains! That's What Makes It Fun Though, Right? 😉

Somebody Recently Asked Me What I Love About Being A Wedding Planner. It Literally Took Me Several Minutes To Answer Because I Have A Hard Time Choosing Just One Singular Thing That I Love About My Job. Then I Thought Of This Spectacular Moment Captured By @annkamphoto, And It Came To Me. The Thing That Is Definitely In My Top Three Most Loved Parts Of My Job Are When All Of The Work That We Do For Our Clients And With Our Clients Comes Together And Allows For Magical, Gorgeous, Romantic, Beautiful, Organic, Amazingggggg Moments Like This One. 🤩 📸 @annkamphoto // Floral: @revel_decor // Location: @universityclubofchicago // Linens: @bbjlinen // Plan & Style: The Mde Team // @theweddingdresser // Makeup: @deannaballauer // Hair: @alexbrownhair // ✨✨ ✨✨ . . . #weddingphotos #weddingplannerlife #weddingstylist #travelingweddingplanner #candlelightwedding #destinationweddingplanner #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #candlelightdinner #weddingseason #lakeshoreinlove #universityclubofchicago #weddingideas #chicagoweddingplanner #weddingplanner #insideweddings #chicagoinfluencer #chicagoweddings #modluxweddingschi #classicchicagowedding #weddings #romance #chicagopartyplanner #weddingplanning #weddingday #editorscircle #candlemagick #wedding #weddingphoto #weddinggoals❤

Right Around The Time We Were Doing These Photos There Was A Loud Boom, The Ground Seemed To Shake A Little And Then There Seemed To Be A Huge Puff Of Snow In The Background By The Victoria Glacier. Yup, There Was An Avalanche When We Were Out On The Frozen Lake! I'm Trying Really Hard Not To Say Something Cheesy About How Their Love Moved Mountains.... Darnit... I Think I Just Did!
