How to get Married on Public Land at Abraham Lake, Nordegg, Alberta.
Many couples dream of a fairytale wedding in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, and to most that means either Banff or Jasper. Unsurprisingly, the cost of holding a wedding in a world class international tourist destination can escalate pretty quickly. But, there are other options, and you can have it all! The subject of today’s blog is the Abraham Lake area of David Thompson Country, where the azure blue glacial lake meets stunning waterfalls, all framed by peaks which rival it’s illustrious western neighbour.

That’s a wrap!
With our 2022 wedding season done, we are reminiscing about all of the lovely couples that we had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know better and could not be more thankful for each and every one of you!
Golden or Blue Hour
Some of the best bride & groom portraits are made at golden hour, when the land is wrapped in an incredible warm glow of the setting sun-we HIGHLY recommend making room for this for sure!
Love at first sight.
A first look gives you the opportunity to experience an intimate moment together without all of the pressure of everybody watching you…this is when genuine emotions shine through and are captured.

A lovely wild country wedding-Boyle, Alberta.
Long grasses, horses, wildflowers and trees all beneath endless prairie clouds as far as the eye could see-we are so thankful to have had the opportunity for the experience itself-never mind the chance to capture their beautiful day! The weather conditions were absolutely perfect.
An urban wedding in the heart of Edmonton, AB.
We just had the pleasure of capturing Emma & Garrett’s BIG day in downtown Edmonton and it was filled with every possible positive element: anticipation, triumph, excitement, wonder, laughter & a whole lotta love and we are SO thankful to have had the pleasure to get to know them as well as their families and friends better!

A Rustic Wedding at The Barn at Lions Garden Estate, East of Edmonton, Alberta.
This day was not only filled with an abundance of joy and laughter from beginning to end, but also with emotion, from dad’s first look at his ‘petite fille’ (little girl) where there was not a dry eye in the house, myself included (as this was a moment that I will never have the pleasure to experience myself) to very sweet vows which were shared intimately between only them, both of which will remain two of my all-time favourite moments and we are both honoured to have had the opportunity (and pleasure) to be able to capture for them for years to come!
Botanical Wedding Bliss at the Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton, Alberta.
WOW! Okay we’re just gonna kick right off with what a BEAUTIFUL place to tie the knot!
Take exotic plants, colourful flowers, diffused sunlight pouring through iconic glass pyramids…add two people as sweet and absolutely in love as Doris and Logan, surround them with their nearest and dearest and you have a recipe for a really memorable, intimate wedding…
A Beautiful Summer Wedding at Obsidian Ridge-Tofield, Alberta.
This wedding was packed with sweet moments, especially during the speeches which were so heartfelt and genuine. It really was a pleasure to be there to photograph a couple who have found so much happiness together. In our consultation Zonia had told us about their mutual friend who brought them together and had since sadly passed. They remembered her during the first dance, which was a really touching moment and capped off a day spent in beautiful surroundings, filled with love and laughter.
Country wedding in Ardrossan, Alberta
They had plans for a big wedding, but 2020 had other ideas and they down-sized their original plans, deciding to have their big day on the family acreage with just their nearest and dearest, saving the big party for another day.
