Ottlie + Kirt – Mexico Destination Wedding

admin — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:48:07 +0000

We were so inspired by this destination wedding in Mexico, from the amazing couple Ottlie + Kirt, to their fabulous friends and family, and all the marvelous backdrops we were blessed with! The destination wedding was held at the Playacar Palace in the Riviera Maya, and weather was gorgeous the entire time! Their special day started off with Ottlie and her girls getting their hair done at the salon, followed by getting dressed and makeup at the hotel room. Kirt and the boys were getting prepped as well during the morning.

The beautiful ceremony was held at the hotel’s gazebo overlooking the ocean, with lots of heartfelt moments. The hotel included surprise fireworks too! Afterwards, it was time for the formals with the couple and their rocking bridal party! After some beach shots, lo and behold we located a trampoline and of course, we had to incorporate it! What a fabulous bunch

The reception decor at the hotel ballroom was stunningly elegant, and everyone had such a fantastic time with tons of laughs, smiles and major dance moves. And we mean major, CRAZY, dance moves! It was a perfect day for sure!

The next day we headed out with the couple for their Trash the Dress session. Ottlie + Kirt had grown up riding horses all their lives and wanted to incorporate them into their pictures! Lots of our favorite images this year came from this session, and truly we were blessed with many amazing locations, including several shots zipping around Cancun. They finished their after-day session off at night by jumping cannon-ball-style into the pool!

Check out their super sweet destination wedding below (it`s gonna be a long post), but first a couple of cool shots from their engagement earlier in the fall!

Ottlie + Kirt, it was an absolute honor to document your fabulous wedding with you and your family and friends. We loved every minute, from the moment we met you, to capturing your special day, and finally creating dramatic images that will last a lifetime. We wish you all the very best!

Cheers,

Kenneth + Elaine

We couldn’t get enough of this couple’s smiles – Adriana + Kelly are such a joy to photograph! Adriana + her gals started with hair at Ricci Hair Co. downtown and makeup was done by James Kershaw.

We were really excited to post Jana + Kevin`s wedding in Calgary, we loved working with this fantastic couple! And we had a very difficult time narrowing down our favorites because there were sooo many!

Jana and her girls started the day with hair and makeup at Pure Form Salon, while Kevin and the guys got ready at the house. The couple was married at the Knox United Church and its grandiose architecture made for some epic shots! Afterwards we hopped all around downtown Calgary for some fabulous formals! It was really cold but the brave couple and their entourage rocked it! Shots at Stephen Avenue, Mewata Armory, parkades and downtown meridians made for some ultra swank images. Some passerbys said “…really can’t see what you see in that place. Are you sure you want to take pictures there??” …. um… yes! The reception was at the Olympic Park ATCO Centre where the guests had a great time with lots of laughs, smiles, and danced the night away. Here are some of our faves from this wedding!

Here’s their cutie pie son, Reggie He wanted to be near them as much as possible!

One of our favorite images this whole wedding season!!

Angela + Rick: Luxe Banff Wedding

admin — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:56:35 +0000

Talk about over-the-top gorgeousness! Angela + Rick`s destination wedding in Banff was perfect from start to end. You`ll remember this couple from their stylish engagement session here!

Angela mentioned that she had planned way back years ago that one day, we were going to be her wedding photographers. How sweet is that!! Well that day finally came and what a dream wedding it was! She had everything planned to perfection to the last ounce, and it was a treat to photograph this as design was in the details. The couple chose the Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff, once of the premier places in Banff to get married.

Their day started out with the gals and guys getting ready in their respective rooms at the hotel. Angela is a total shoe person and she brought several pairs just in case, and finally went with her trusty Christian Louboutins, and they comfortably lasted the entire day (even walking up mountain slopes)! The lovely ceremony on the outdoor terrace of the hotel was beautiful, and we were blessed with hot sunny weather and outrageous skies! Having being trained in classical piano for years, Angela was a huge fan of classical music and she had a string quartet playing her favorites as she was walking down the aisle. There are certainly no shortage of locations in Banff to do formals! We were excited to find some ancient ruins in the mix! At the reception back at the hotel, we had the opportunity to document some ultra luxe decor and capture some sweet moments! One surprise was the lion dance that popped by later during the party! What a fabulous wedding!

Angela + Rick, we want to thank you so much that you chose us as your wedding photographers, it was one of our favorites all year! We got to know you two very well and we cherish the time we spent together. Love you guys very much!

Cheers,

Elaine + Kenneth
