Moustache Man + Mountain Girl- Canmore Wedding Photographer

Moustache Man + Mountain Girl - Canmore Wedding Photographer

You’re probably wondering about the title, so I guess that is a good place to start…lol Parker and Allison are a ridiculously sweet, fun loving and genuine couple! When you’re around them, you just can’t help but smile! Allison loves being in the mountains, and Parker is a country man with an epic moustache. So there mountain wedding at the rustic venue Cornerstone Theatre was the perfect mix of the two of them. 

It was FREEZING cold. Like frostbitten fingers cold. Here I was all worried about the bridal party staying warm enough, and they were they ones saying no no, we’re good! Let’s take off our jackets and do some more photos! Tyler, Mike, Bill, Laurie, Jennifer, Jade, you guys are amazing!! Such wonderful friends for Parker and Allison! 

Okay now on to the good stuff, a few of my favourite photos of the day!!

Thank you to all the amazing vendors who helped make this day incredible!

Adventure Session // Mountain Elopement Photographer// Calgary

This mountain session with Samantha was ridicously FUN! In our conversations during the shoot, she told me that she was from South Africa!! {Super cool} It was especially awesome for me because my man is from SA as well. To chat with someone else whom shares the same accent as my future hubby was so neat. We laughed back and forth chatting about how we both said "tomato" and "dancing" so very differently! Haha

As you look at the images below...you will see lots of them involved getting into the glacier fed water, brrrr! As Samantha said..."I'll totally get into the water and even swim out to that rock if you want me to." Then she really got me when she said..."I'm adventurous and up for really anything!"  Sam, you rock. ;)

Barefoot and free, the best way to be. <3

Ok ok, here are the pictures....

Banff Family Session- Calgary Family Photographer

This SWEET family came all the way up from beautiful Arizona and connected with me to shoot their Banff family session for them! Momma Michelle is a photographer herself. Some people are weary of shooting other artists and their families, but I was beyond excited!! I knew that her being a photographer means that the whole family understands the importance of memories, and they would really value what I do. <3

When I saw sweet family, I am not exaggerating at all. Anyone who knows them, I’m sure has a million amazing things to say about them! Such wonderful people. <3 Not to mention… they are basically all models. 

Have a look at the photos and you’ll know what I’m taking about.. ;)

Adventure Wedding Session-Banff Elopement Photographer

This story, is one that HAD to make it to the blog! Jen and Jordan got married a few weeks prior to this shoot in Calgary. The day was laid out perfect, and everything was going according to plan! BUT mother nature had a different idea then we did, haha. Jen and Jordan had their hearts set on romantic, woodsy, outdoor portraits of them that day. Unfortunately we got hit with an insane downpour, and some intense wind that would not let down.

We were able to find a gorgeous indoor location, and shoot all of the bridal party and portraits there, but it just wasn’t what they had hoped for.

Fast forward a few days, Jen and I were chatting about an idea she had in her head. She thought that it would be amazing to just get dressed up again, and go out for photos somewhere incredible!! It was a no brainer to say YES and get this plan in action asap. These two truly understand the importance of photography and the memories that it preserves. It is not possible to put into words how much I appreciate couples who truly understand the investment they are making into their lives by working with me on creating these irreplaceable moments. <3

Now the good stuff….Here’s some photos! ;)

Barefoot BC Elopement- Calgary Elopement Photographer

Taylor and Katie flew in from Toronto, for one BIG adventure…To come for their mountain elopement in the Canadian Rockies. ( Insert excited fist pump here. ;) )

Connecting with my clients is so, so incredibly important to me. Since elopements are usually destination based for my couples, I don’t often get the opportunity to meet them before hand. 

I sent out a little questionnaire to learn more about them, and guess what they love…TEA! I myself am a daily tea drinker, so I was pretty happy about that. Not to mention they are outdoorsy, super easy going and up for pretty much anything! {Including getting into glacier fed water.. Say what?? I’ll fill you in on that below..haha}

Katie told me that they were 100% flexible with whatever time I suggested to shoot. {Yay!}  I met them during golden hour at Emerald Lake Lodge, BC, Canada, and off we went for photos! I started off by taking them to a waterfall nearby where they threw off their shoes, and rock hoped to the middle of the the river and said their vows to one another. There they stood, in a brand new place, on a brand new adventure of starting their lives together as a married couple. <3

We eventually headed back to Emerald Lake Lodge to finish up shooting. As the sun was setting behind them across the lake I instantly though, gosh wouldn’t it be amazing to get them in the water with the sunset reflecting off the mountains/water behind them. It’s didn’t take ANY convincing to get these two to kick off their shoes and walk right in. Talk about an incredible ending to an unforgettable day. <3

I get to meet so many wonderful people who share the same passion for life and adventure as I do, and often it leaves me truly wishing I had more time to spend with them. I am so thankful for all the beautiful, unforgettable moments people trust me to document for them. {Taylor and Katie, make sure you get in touch with me if you guys ever visit again. <3 }
