Photography by Jodi

I can’t say enough good things about this couple and their day. I loved every minute of it. They carried such an excitement and wonderment with them that it was a blast to photograph. You have a couple who is so clearly in love and then add a crazy, fun wedding party and you have a recipe for great expressions and  just a super fun day. I think everyone who was involved felt the same way. I started the day at their Oma’s house. What a perfect way to start the wedding day…me and Omy chatting it up about the good ole days….while waiting for the bride from the hairdressers. She was telling me all about coming to Canada and a little bit about her love story as well. She is the sweetest lady that I just had to include her in this blog post. She was telling me about Ryan and Michelle and she had this beautiful german word to describe their love for each other….I wish I could remember it…but the meaning translated into english simply meant…”to live on air and love.” Basically she was saying thats all this couple would need….love and air. Beautiful. Thanks Omy for the adorable little chat.

Ryan and Michelle, you two are beautiful inside and out. You truly glow! Ryan the way you look at Michelle would melt any heart and Michelle I can easily see how you absolutely adore Ryan. I am honoured that I could be a part of your big day…oh and Michelle…i am in LOVE with your dress!!! Gorgeous.

We’ll start the post with Oma…how cute is she??

first look…breath taking….

When I found out that I was expecting and due the week before Caitlin’s wedding I wasn’t too sure what I would do! I really didn’t want to cancel on her so I hired my amazing and talented friend Nataschia from www.nwphotoblog.com to fly out to shoot with me! Caitlin was so super cool about everything and was just so very thankful that I didn’t cancel on her. So 8 days after delivering my little Gemma, Nataschia and I headed off to their wedding. We had a beautiful winter day and a bride that didn’t mind being outdoors! Caitlin and Matt met while working in Banff! Such a romantic story of how Matt moved here from Australia afterwards to be with her. Thank you Caitlin for being such a chill bride to work with…oh, and I am sooo glad you liked the balloon idea…I think those ones are some of my favourites! All the best to you and Matt.

…and I just had to include one of Nataschia! Thanks so much for all your help! You are the best my dear.
