The wedding ceremony was held at St Mark’s Church in NE Calgary, where Kate arrived in style with her parents in a vintage Rolls Royce.  The wedding ceremony had the most well dressed congregation we have ever seen.  After the ceremony, we headed downtown Calgary to shoot photographs of the K&R.  Once we wrapped that up, we headed back to the South Delta Hotel. We finished our photos of the reception room and all the details that Jasmine, and her team from Reflections Wedding Design, had put together.  The room was absolutely amazing.  Not a single detail was spared.  It looked like a wedding that was from a dream, then executed in real life.  It was that amazing.

Congratulations, Kate and Roy!  Thanks for having us there to capture these important memories for you.  Ryan and I wish you both all the best.

The wedding ceremony took place right at the Hyatt in the same ballroom where the reception would be held.  Jason came in like no other groom I have ever seen, giving low fives to all the people sitting in the aisle.  Awesome!  Jen of course walked down the aisle with her father and you could see the happiness in Jason’s eyes.  The ceremony was short and sweet and they left and the same grand way as they entered.

It was a beautiful day on this day and the sun was shining.  We walked along Stephen Avenue and it was packed with people.  Of course Jen and Jason turned a lot of heads and received a lot of congrats from random strangers.  Our first stop was Murietta’s restaurant for some drinks and snacks.  We shot some photos of them and their crazy wedding party while we were there.  But after that it was down to business.  Ryan and I took Jen & Jason away from the chaos that was Stephen Avenue.  We saw 4 other weddings down there on that day, and if any of you know me, I always avoid other weddings and crowds of people. We found our own secluded quiet spot downtown that was perfect for some romantic portraits.

When we came back to the Hyatt to shoot the reception details, we saw the most creative seating assignment “chart” we had ever seen.  The pictures say it all!

Congrats you guys.  I had such an awesome time getting to know you both and being a big part of your day.  Your wedding was fabulous and you both looked stunning and gorgeous with each other.

Our models for the day were Erin and Angela who were married about 6 months ago.  Of course D+C shot their wedding.  Angela seemed more than happy to get back in her wedding dress to have more photos.  Angela looked stunning as did our 2 other models.  Alana and Vlada.  Alana is new on the scene and this was great opportunity for her to build her portfolio.  She looked great in our wedding dress and was a trooper all day.  We also had professional russian model Vlada.  Vlada is in a league of her own when we did our bridal fashion shoot.  Her posing, look and attitude is what you would expect from a professional model whose resume includes L’Oreal, Diesel, Pure, Coors Light and the Venetian Hotel to name a few.  Without further ado, here are the images.
