From their Dungeons & Dragons touches to their location choice of the Westward Ho campground, Cassandra + Trevin’s fall-themed wedding in Sundre, AB was nothing short of enchanting.

Getting ready photos has become more optional these past years. Couples looking to save money tend to opt for coverage during their Ceremony, Portraits, and some Reception, dropping the getting ready aspect of the day completely. But these moments add SO MUCH to your wedding story. Because your day doesn’t just start with your Ceremony.

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I have been to photograph Desiree + Andrew’s Dinosaur Park elopement. The trees sported their gorgeous fall yellows, and the setting sun cast the most gorgeous light surrounding the park. 😍

The day had finally come. Weeks – no, months - of planning had led up to Kristine + Steve’s sunny, September wedding in Cassils Alberta. The day started out with bluebird skies and cooler temperatures, but quickly became an uncommonly hot, near-Fall day. ☀️

Chantal and Terry were married under a wooden arch surrounded by their closest family and friends. Brenda performed a beautiful ceremony, as she always does. And the running joke of Terry being called “Mike” followed him the rest of the day.

The Ceremony went by in a flash, and before everyone knew it, Collin & Christa were husband & wife. We took family photos immediately after the ceremony, followed by the bridal party. Then, after boosting the old, orange Chevy, and grabbing their dog, Titan, we drove off into a couple of the many crop fields for Collin & Christa's photos, starting with the Alfalfa crop. We spent some time in the purple blooms before driving off to a wheat field, which was Collin & Christa's very own field, making it important that we photographed there.
