Meaghan and Craig are two people who are so much in love with each other. Ever since Meaghan was a little girl, she always knew she wanted to get married around Christmas time. Christmas was definitely M&C’s favorite time of year and it provided a spectacular feel to their winter wedding.
The day started at Craig and Meaghan’s house, where Craig has been living alone since they bought the place. All of Craig’s boys were there getting ready and we had some fun photographing them. The house was still a bit empty, which was a good thing for us wedding photographers. Afterwards, we went to Meaghan’s parent’s house where we found the girls getting ready. You could tell Meaghan’s mom was very excited when she was tying up Meaghan’s dress. I don’t believe I ever stopped seeing her smile the whole time we were there.
The ceremony as held at the beautiful St. Barnabus Church near downtown Calgary. St. Barbabus has awesome architecture inside and wonderful amounts of natural light flooding in. Ryan and I took every advantage of that on this day. The ceremony was lively and full of energy, as expected with M&C. When it came time for the vows, Craig got down on one knee in front of his bride, which drew a permanent smile of Meaghan’s face and all the friends and family who came to witness.
It was almost already dark by the time the ceremony was over, as this day was the second shortest day of the year. We headed down to Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary to do our photos and shot around Calgary’s City Hall. The reception was at the Calgary Golf and Country club, which was an amazing high end venue, with Christmas decorations everywhere. A perfect setting and ending to M&C’s Christmas wedding.
Congratulations M&C. You both were truly meant for each other. I feel very blessed to be the one who was chosen to create memories for the both of you. I wish you all the best and nothing less.
