Lisa & Jordan had their wedding at the Valley Ridge Golf Course in NW Calgary in July. My good friend and photographer, Alicia Price, came out and helped me cover their wedding. We started the day at Jordan and Lisa’s house in Copperfield. There we photographed Jordan and his groomsmen getting ready. Soon after that we headed over to the new and luxurious Hotel Le Germain, in downtown Calgary. When we arrived, we entered a suite that was buzzing excitement. All of Lisa’s bridesmaids were there and so was her mother. The suite was a beautiful room, which helped make my job a lot easier.
The wedding coverage on this day wouldn’t be the traditional kind of coverage that we were used to. Instead, the wedding ceremony was right before the wedding reception at the golf course, so that meant all the photos would happen before the ceremony. I asked Lisa & Jordan in advanced, what they thought of doing a first look. They loved the idea, so when Jordan and his boys arrived, it was time to get it on. We used the back alley behind the Hotel Le Germain for the first look. We set them up and then let them do their thing. The photos we captured say it all.
We hung around downtown Calgary and the hotel for all of their creative wedding photos. We didn’t have to go far at all to find inspiration.
The weather was perfect all day and it was not any different when we got to the Valley Ridge Golf Course. The wedding ceremony was held outside.
Congratulations L&J! I am honored to have been the one to create these photos for you. I really believe some of the photos we made are quite emotionally powerful. It really shows your intense love for each other. Good luck in Kamloops, Lisa!
