Calgary Wedding Photographer TLaw Photography and Inspired Occasions

J-I_InspiredOccasions

TLaw Photography and Inspired Occasions are a dynamic duo in many ways. Terra is able to create and execute dream weddings to the delight of her brides and Terence is able to capture the event flawlessly. The wedding of Jacquie and Ian took place in Banff and when asked for three words to describe her celebration, Jaquie states, ” It was…perfect!”

The couple were not absolutely clear about their vision until they met with Terra at Inspired Occasions and their vision definitely changed and became clearer throughout the planning process. They wanted to share our beautiful Mountain environment with their friends and family, as most of their family from both sides are located on the east coast or in the US. However, the one thing they were very clear about was the venue. The Juniper Hotel was intimate, surrounded by the Rockies in Banff, and maintained natural elements while being clean and modern.

The ceremony décor was kept elegant and complimented the already breathtaking surroundings of Tunnel Mountain Reservoir. The aisle was created with white folding chairs and the aisle lined with red rose kissing balls alternating with stems of chartreuse mini cymbidium orchids. The pine log chuppah was draped with sheer chocolate taffeta and flanked with two arrangements of green apples and curly willow.

When asked about her favorite part of the wedding, Jaquie says, “An amazing extra touch that we knew nothing about was we had green orchids tossed at us as we walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Our fantastic wedding planner, Terra, had piles of orchids left over from our decorations and had sneaked them to our guests along the aisle. We had no idea and it was surreal.”

Calgary Wedding Photographer: f8 photography features Nita & Leonard – Aug. 25, 2011 Montreal

Picnik collage3

Calgary wedding photographers, Matt and Trish from f8 photography, submitted this beautiful Montreal wedding of Nita and Leonard. It’s a neat story as Leonard made it known that he would marry Nita when he first met her… in elementary school!  Isn’t that amazing?! Though it took several years to accomplish this task, Leonard happily made Nita his wife in August.  Matt and Trish traveled to Montreal to shoot at many exciting locations and as you can tell, the city did not disappoint.  Leonard & Nita tied the proverbial knot on a boat while cruising around the harbour & with a few close family & friends everyone celebrated the long awaited union.

Banff Wedding Planner banffbride.com and The Bear and Bison Inn feature Leila and Jonathon

Leila-Jonathan_Peak_Canmore

The wonderful Canadian flare to this wedding is so great as this couple from Fort MacMurray, Leila and Jonathon, were able to take advantage of an almost exclusive Banffbride.com wedding. The luxurious Bear and Bison Inn located at the base of Lady Macdonald mountain in Canmore, was the event location as well as provided most of the rooms in an exclusive group rental. This rental included two nights, their famous 3 course Crystal and China served breakfast, a Picnic Lunch on the day of the wedding to keep everyone properly fueled, and an onsite wedding hostess who was able to help with those unexpected things that come up on the wedding day. Rumor has it that the wedding hostess, at The Bear and Bison Inn was actually the inspiration behind Jennifer Lopez’s block buster, “The Wedding Planner!”

The Bear and Bison Inn is currently hosting 70-75 group weddings a year and space for 2012 Wedding season is going fast so to check out their current group wedding availability go to http://www.canmoreweddings.com/prices.htm#priceavail.

Real Calgary Wedding Alix and Lowell

B_D7X9762

At long last, I have the privilege of sharing images of your favorite bridesmaid now newly wed, Alix, and her handsome husband, Lowell’s wedding. They were wed on a beautiful September day in 2011 at the Cochrane Ranche House. Check out the details Alix put into her wedding from the coffee filter decor, to the beautiful brooch on her flowers. And isn’t her collar stunning?! Alix, you were a beautiful bride and your radiance shines through in all of the pictures! Calgary Wedding Photographer, Mark Shannon, captured the day perfectly.

Here’s what Alix has to say about her day. “Lowell and I met through a mutual friend – also named Alex (who also has ginger hair). Alex talked me into attending a birthday party and I found myself surrounded by a room full of handsome men. The moment I looked at the Lowell, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. After a week of witty, charming and sometimes awkward text message banter, he took me for our first date.

When Lowell proposed to me, he took me by complete surprise. He telephoned on a Thursday afternoon, explaining that his co-worker couldn’t use a gift certificate for Emerald Lake Lodge, and it was booked for that weekend. I remember getting off the phone and having my faith that nice things happen to nice people reaffirmed. We had a relaxing drive out, we had a three hour dinner (where Lowell was cool as a cucumber) and then we back to our room to get sweaters so we could go for a walk. He told me to take a look at some of the photos he had taken. There was a photo of his face, with a big grin and the next photo was of the ring. I was shocked! No idea. I turned around, and he was down on bended knee.

We were married on Friday, September 16th at the Cochrane Ranche House – it was our TGIF wedding where our goal was that everyone laugh the entire day. From his brother dressing up in a wedding gown to emcee the night, to a surprising performance of the jingle I wrote for my blog – it was amazing.”
