Our Couples - Laura and Greg


Three guesses what the theme color was for this wedding. I love the fact Laura added interest to her bouquet by combining different varieties of red flowers. The Dahlia's, Roses and Hypericum berries are combined to great effect.

Our Couples - Kate and Greg


I love the unique take that Kate had for her bridal bouquet. Each of her Bridesmaids carried a bouquet that consisted of just one of the flower varieties in the Brides bouquet. The result was a bright and colorful mix of flowers that matched the playful attitude of this couple.

f8 Photography: features our couple Zoe & Cory on their blog


Calgary Wedding Photographer f8 Photography: features Zoe & Cory

This is a copy of a blog posted  on CalgaryBride.Ca Blog today featuring one our our couples from last year. 

Calgary Wedding Photographers, Trish and Matt from f8 photography, say that Zoe & Cory are definitely a complimentary couple and that there is a chemistry & closeness between them, a kind of feeling of two people perfectly matched as he brings out her lighter side & she keeps him on track.   The photographs were taken prior to the wedding so the couple could get down to the business of enjoying themselves with family & friends right after the ceremony.

Zoe says, “Cory and I were introduced by mutual friends. We had met a couple of times before we finally began talking and realized that we had a lot in common.  We dated for about 3 years, spending time together traveling, going to Flames and Stampeder games and having fun. In August of 2010 we were on the west coast for a family wedding and Cory proposed to me on a long walk through Stanley Park in Vancouver (a place he knew I loved) and we soon began planning our wedding to take place the following fall.  On September 17, 2011, we were married in a wonderful ceremony officiated by Nomi Whalen in front of our family and close friends. The day was windy and cloudy, but the sun came out mere moments before I walked down the aisle on the patio at Silver Springs Golf Club.”

The invitations for the wedding were designed by Zoe’s sister, a photographic artist living and working in Toronto, and each table number featured a photograph of old hollywood movie stars. Zoe loves the understated glamour of old movies and movie stars, particularly Paul Newman and Marilyn Monroe. Cory and her chose pictures of couples from some of the more famous movies in the 50′s and 60′s for each table, and to honor their parents and grandparents, Zoe had framed photographs of their wedding photos at the table when the guests first walked in to the reception. For the kids table, instead of a floral centrepiece, Cory made lollipop bouquets with vases filled with candy, using the lollipops as flowers. A big hit, I’m sure!

Thanks Trish and Matt for sharing the images and Zoe and Cory for letting us peek at your wedding and sharing your stories. What a memorable day for you!

Our Couples - Jana and Kevin


 The classic color combination of white and green with a modern twist - funky texture!  Celosia, Kermit Mums, Cymbidium Orchids, Bells of Ireland, hanging China Berries, Green Trick Dianthus and Roses lent a myriad of textures and shades of green and white to the bouquet. The most talked about floral item of the day - the flower and ribbon bedecked wagon used to pull their young son down the aisle.
