Where does one even start to describe Rachel and Geordie’s wedding in the heart of Canmore, Alberta? One could not ask for a more beautiful day, a garden so meticulously cared for by Rachel’s mother, families with such humor and support for each other, friends who gave so much time and talent to help make the day as special as it was, and last but certainly not least, a bride and groom so in love.
Rachel’s friend and bridesmaid, Mireille Stettler, designed and made Rachel’s fashionable dress that suited her to a T and looked absolutely marvelous. I am quite certain I could have spent several hours just highlighting the dress! If you are looking for a talented individual to make a one of a kind dress you need to check her work out!
Geordie is a lucky man, let me tell you! Rachel is not only an absolute sweetheart but she also has her own booming photography business based out of Brooks that you can see here.
Enjoy! This is as skinnied down of a post I could possibly make!
I can honestly say I have never been so close to tears editing a bride getting ready for the day. The connection between Rachel and her mother is so apparent.
Rachel and Geordie decided to meet prior to the ceremony with their close family watching the big reveal. Not only did this give us a couple of hours prior to the ceremony to take some awesome images but it also allowed them to have more time with their guests following the ceremony and time to just enjoy each others company.
Best car ever! The week before the wedding Rachel’s mother decided to pick this beauty up and I am quite certain that it is one of her top five decisions of the year!
The food was catered by Railway Deli and Restaurant located in Canmore. It was delicious!
Rachel’s flowers were arranged by Willow Haven Flower Shop, and as you can tell, they turned out wonderfully!
How neat is this? It was a kid-friendly wedding! One of the friends of the bride and groom put on an amazing juggling act that stupefied both kids and adults alike
The music was provided by both Geordie’s immediate family who are ridiculously talented in addition to Rachel’s cousin and friend from Holland. The musical ability happening that day was stellar!
Rachel was kind enough to allow me to experiment a bit with my Kodak Duaflex IV, seen below as set up by Dana Pugh, and I am so glad Rachel did! I am thinking of downgrading ;)
