Calgary Weddings features TLAW Photography

Terence Law, from TLAW Photography, did an outstanding job capturing this gorgeous wedding at The Ranche Restaurant down in Fish Creek Park. Although you don’t need many decorations at the beautiful Ranche Restaurant, Inspired Occasions and Sarah Mayerson Designs looked after the decor and florals to create a romantic room full of ambiance.

About the couple:

Shevaun and Derek are an online dating success story. After a few virtual smiles and chats, they discovered they were both in their last year of studies at the University of Alberta. Following graduation, Derek moved back home to Calgary for work; twenty-six months and thousands of Highway 2 kilometers later, Shevaun relocated to be with him. Derek proposed in Banff shortly after.
Even with some unexpected October showers, their wedding was picture perfect. “Home” was a dominant theme for their day, and the historic Ranche Restaurant was the perfect venue to host their guests and celebrate their love. Every detail, from the clean, classic and rustic décor, to the “cake” made from wheels of cheese and decorated with roses, figs and grapes, reflected Shevaun and Derek. To describe their day in one word: inviting. Beautiful images TLAW Photography!

Calgary Bride featured Wedding

Calgary Bride features Tara Whittaker Photography along with some of our other favorite peeps: The Ranche and Frocks Modern Brides and Bridesmaids!

About the Couple: Cara and Dave met in 2004 while both attending the University of Calgary as undergraduate students and quickly became good friends. It wasn’t until Dave moved away for Law School that they decided that they really missed each other and wanted to be together.

When Dave proposed in 2010 they quickly decided on The Ranche in Fish Creek as their wedding venue. Their wedding day was fantastic and The Ranche worked with the couple to create a celebration that represented them entirely. Looking back on that special day, there is nothing that they would have changed. Thank you for sharing with us!

About the Couple:

Monica met John in his hometown of Edmonton while on a weekend getaway with a few of her best friends. She was introduced to John by a mutual friend the day they arrived, and since that day, John knew that he couldn’t let Monica just walk out of his life. Six years later, they were married!

When they started planning their wedding Monica called on Reflections Wedding Designs who were able to take all of her ideas and turn it into something truly amazing. Monica and John felt blessed to have all their family and friends by their side as they started this journey together, and what better way to celebrate than to dance the night away. It was the perfect ending, to a perfect day.
