Calgary Bride features Brave Planet Photography

On our blog today, Calgary Bride features Brave Planet Photography:

About the Photographers:

Says Brave Planet Photographers, “They look so cute together, and their son Zindel is absolutely adorable. The ceremony/reception was held at the Sheraton Cavalier and for their lovely portraits we went down to Princes Island Park. Seasons being in our favor, we had lovely autumn colours to work with. Her brides maids had on gorgeous metallic silver gowns, which matched the handsome grooms men’s suits. Unilyn wanted a fairy tale feel to the photographs that we took, and was beyond thrilled with the results.

I am privileged to say that I was picked to document their lovely wedding day, and I wish they would have heard about us earlier for engagement/save the date packages! We have lots of options which include invitations and huge discounts on the package for your actual wedding day.”

This is not one of your typical love stories…which is what I think, makes it so wonderful.

About the couple:

Meeting each other at a young age in school, Unilyn developed a serious crush on Malachi in Grade 7. Changing her MSN name one day too  ”ichalam evol i” (I love Malachi, backwards  ) thinking he wouldn’t realize what it meant, she scared him away. They went their own ways, sort of, for a few years dating other people…sometimes each others friends, occasionally for secret revenge. Eventually time went on, and they slowly started forgetting about each other.

Unilyn was invited to go out dancing with a bunch of old friends. She was with her girlfriend getting ready in the bathroom at her friend’s house. When they went to leave and Unilyn was walking downstairs, Malachi caught her eye. She remembers how handsome he was and also made a mental note to keep her distance, thinking about past heartbreak. She successfully avoided him, until they were leaving the club and stopped at the hot dog cart. Malachi would not stop bartering with the lady who ran the stand, trying to convince her to sell him a $5 hot dog, for $3 plus a $2 tip. She wouldn’t agree but eventually caved, took the cash and put it all into her cash anyways. After that Unilyn was hooked.

“We all should know that love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” – Unilyn

Calgary wedding makeup artist Trena Laine featured on Wedding TV

Still pondering over what to do about your wedding make up? We’ve got a great place for you start! The wonderful and talented Trena Olfert of Trena Laine Makeup Artist was recently featured on the Calgary channel of Wedding Television. This video is a perfect instructional 101 for brides who are thinking about doing their own make up on their wedding day so we just had to share it. It’s such a showcase of Trena’s warm personality and talent, watching it is a great way to get to know her even if you have never met her!

Wedding make up is a key part of a bride’s day – it completes a desired look, whether that be fresh, romantic, dramatic or spirited, proper make up application is almost the icing on the cake in terms of a bride’s wedding day look! Wedding makeup is also something you can safely experiment with before your big day – practicing different looks and styles on those quiet Wednesday nights will help you build skills and confidence if you’re planning on doing your own wedding makeup, or can help you decide on the look you want when you work with your wedding makeup artist!  Wedding Television has filmed two instructional videos with Trena – one on how to prep your skin for make up application, and one for actual make up application. For more tricks and inspiration on wedding make up, visit Trena’s website right here!

Calgary Bride and Wedding Planning 101

Calgary Bride’s Lisa Vettese met with Mary Swaffield, from Lavish Wedding Planning and a proud member of the Calgary Bridal Association, last spring to get a quick lesson on Wedding Planning 101. Mary shared with us how to create a stunning table decor. She gave us advise and ideas and also clarified the difference between a designer and a wedding planner and what upcoming trends to watch.

Thanks to Mark Wikkerink Cinema | Stills for shooting the video and Special Event Rentals for hosting us!
