Jadis & Simon's Intimate Winter Wedding
An Intimate Wedding At the Post Hotel, Lake Louise
[still frame from the Wedding Film, by Parfait Productions]
Today we are sharing the heartfelt, intimate and perfectly curated winter wedding of Jadis and Simon. We had the pleasure of filming their wedding, at the Post Hotel, Lake Louise, Canada.
From the moment we received the first email from Jadis, we knew their wedding would be a unique celebration of love, their heritage, and families. With Jadis and Simon planning from 7090 Km’s away, we set up a Skype date to chat about the wedding, their love story, and why they had picked the Post Hotel in Lake Louise for their intimate Canadian Wedding.
Fast forward several months and the day had come! We had recently arrived home from our long awaited honeymoon and were ready to rock the party (not figuratively) [ This is our way of saying “ film like you’ve never filmed before and make it epic!! ” ] The drive down to Lake Louise was magical, with the weather going from winter, to spring…then back to winter with a sprinkle of summer here and there. We’re in Alberta after all, right?
The morning of the wedding, the sky was blue and the sun was shinning! I filmed with the ladies and Justin with the men (our usual roles). With friends and family in the room, spanning the globe, the two respective rooms were full of energy and excitement.
Jadis had all her wedding day essentials laid out. Each piece perfectly selected for the occasion. One thing that caught my attention was her journal. She had documented her journey from engagement through to the wedding planning. You’ll see a glimpse of this in the film!
When Jadis and her bridesmaids were putting together the final aspects of her wedding day look, the energy in the room was electric. The elegant hair adornment was just one of the pieces that spoke to me. She was very gracious to allow us to film on the balcony for the last moments before the ceremony, where the light was just perfect!
From the personal vows, hand selected readings from family members and the warm inviting decor, the ceremony was just breath taking. Post ceremony, we headed to the picturesque Lake Louise, to capture the wedding party and couple during their portrait session. Giant snow flakes were falling, and clouds were hanging dramatically low over the lake; it was magical! You’ll see the four seasons in the film, as it naturally occurred! What followed was a night full of heart felt speeches (some belly laughing!) and then dancing in the Outpost Pub.
We wanted to thank J & S again for sharing their wedding day celebration with us. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and capture the moments as the day unfolded. Congrats again!
Enjoy the film, made with love!

Introducing Miranda & Jordan
After reading the first email from Miranda, we instantly knew she and Jordan were madly in love. They wanted a film to showcase their incredible love story and relationship. A wedding film was one of their top priorities! We felt a connection to their story and insta love kind of relationship. We were excited to take on this project! It was important to us to showcase their relationship and intimate day.! We wanted their film to feel like a journey!
Miranda & Jordan really valued our craft, right from the start. They wanted a film of their day to show friends and family and of course to have as a keepsake. Miranda was excited and willing to hear our recommendations to make their film their own, and to focus on their relationship and interests. We continued to plan and email right through Christmas. I remember sitting at the computer on Christmas day, dreaming of their wedding and just knowing how perfect it was going to be. From the winter scenery to the significance of their wedding date.
The couple eloped at the Fairmont Banff Springs in early January. From their photo collection on display, her stunning gown, video messages from their close family ( this will be on their full length disc!) , personal vows and first dance! There was no shortage of romance and personal touches. You'll see some more in the film! Their was no need for a big reception or grand entrance to make this video heartfelt and big on details. We all need to give elopements more credit. In our opinion they are the upmost, most romantic ceremonies and truly about what marriage is all about, the union and connection the couple holds. This is why we are film makers, to capture these precious personal moments, for genuine couples. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Miranda & Jordan. Enjoy the film.. And cake topper!!
