Kurtis - Angie

Angie & Kurtis beautiful Canmore, AB wedding. 

It's been a busy summer, time for some blogging..

The Highlight Reel

The Barefoot's Canmore Wedding

 

Love Birds: Angie & Kurtis

Wedding Location: Canmore, Alberta, Canada

 

The Wedding Day

From the moment that Angie had approached us, well over a year before her wedding. We knew it was a fit. She was avid about having us capture the day for her and Kurtis. The last year for Parfait's videographer's and editor's has been full of weddings-fun-thrill-love and more. Angie was there as a bride-to-be watching us blossom.

Finally her wedding was approaching! Parfait's Team was over the moon while driving out to Canmore the night before the wedding day. Justin and I attended the rehearsal at the Canmore Ranch, and met many of the family who would be attending the next day. It was a great time to meet everyone before the big wedding! We attend rehearsals when time permits, this way we have a great idea as to where the couple will be facing and any additional features of the ceremony.

The next morning we woke up bright and early to head over to the stunning Stoneridge Resort. The ladies were just about to start hair and make up. We always arrive right in time for all that fun to start! The sun was shinning and the ladies were enjoying themselves.  Angie’s dress was absolutely breathtaking. We really love unique touches; she was lucky enough to have a custom hanger!  Her sparkly flats were a great idea, because there would be a lot of walking, especially during the photo shoot later. The bridesmaids and Jr. bridesmaid even took a moment to sneak away and decorate the suite Angie and Kurtis would stay in that night! How fun! Justin captured that moment, as seen in the video.

Do you guys really want to hear about Kurtis and his groomsmen relaxing and getting their suits on? You’ll see the highlights in the video! As a woman, I’m just jealous guys can get out of the house on a regular day with such ease. Let alone a wedding when they have everything planned out in advance down to the socks!  Let’s fast forward to the ceremony!

We arrived to the Canmore Nordic Centre before any guests. The ceremony would take place adjacent to the main building; in the green space. All the chairs, decor and audio were set up. Props the Split Circuit Sound for playing music and distracting us from the chance of rain!

The big man must have been watching and made sure the rain stayed away and we could capture the day and keep the couple dry! A little wind never hurt, well….even a wind guard on a mic can only hold up so many big blows.  The ceremony was short and sweet, complete with a lovely kiss and there they were, The Barefoot’s for the very first time!

Nomi Whalen, the acclaimed officiate from Canmore, read a lovely and fitting blessing to the couple. We just had to include it here.

 

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be
the shelter for the other. Now you will feel no
cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the
other. Now you are two persons, but there is only
one life before. Go now to your dwelling place to
enter into the days of your life together. And may
your days be good and long upon the earth.
— Apache Wedding Blessing

From there we spent about 2 hours with the couple, bridal party and Crista Lee (Crista Lee Photography) and Shirleen From Platinum. We checked out all the hot spots in Canmore and captured beautiful shots of Kurtis and Angie, madly in love. You’ll see some in the Highlight Reel!

From here on out, we will let the Highlight Reel speak for itself. Lots of dancing, heart felt speeches, dancing, more dancing, cake, amazing food and guests hanging out on the balcony at the Nordic Centre in Canmore. This wedding was one for the books, complete the cutest little guests and family- the support these guys have will make anyone jealous! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having Justin and I there, as your videographers and spies on the wall capturing it all. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and we hope the video is everything you dreamt of and more!! Enjoy!

Tegan - Dave

Tegan & Dave's beautiful Lake Sundance wedding in Calgary, AB. Calgary wedding videographer.

The Highlight Reel

Love Birds: Tegan & Dave

Location: Calgary

Wedding Song: “I’ll be” by Edwin McCain cover performed by Blaine Long

Ceremony Location: Bonavista Baptist Church

First Look: Hotel Arts

Reception: Sundance Lodge

Tegan & Dave, first we wanted to thank you for choosing Parfait Productions, you guys are an inspirational couple! We hope you enjoy your film, as much as we enjoyed creating it for you.

The Wedding Day

This couple’s love for each other is like one from a romance novel. They are so deeply in love and committed to each other. You can’t help but smile when you’re around them.

It was a pleasure to have met Tegan & Dave. They contacted us within a week of the wedding!! We met them on a Wednesday and got started right away, from hearing how they met and what crazy travel adventures they had already been on, we were over the moon about their day. The video preparation all happened within days. We couldn’t have pulled this all off without the incredible help and precise scheduling from Julianne Young Weddings, Julianne and her assistant Emmylou were a blessing to work with.

The day was beyond word. From the first look, to hand written vows, love letters and surprise moments, it was like being on a cloud.  Did we forget to mention Tegan wrote a song for Dave? The tune was entitled Strawberry Whip Cream Kiss and was performed by Blaine Long during the slide show. The reception was filled with loving speeches, hand made center pieces, vintage family photos, favorite quotes, a family head table, soulful live music and lots of dancing. We never wanted to leave, the undying support and love everyone had for the couple was radiating in the room. I won’t hold you up any longer. We will let the video speak for itself. Parfait Productions is pleased to present to you the highlight reel from Tegan & Dave’s wedding. Enjoy!

The Premiere

We just got home from the private premiere of the highlight real with Tegan & Dave! What a pleasure it was! I contacted them early last week and told them we would love to meet for coffee at Higher Ground. This is the exact spot we had had our first meeting. They just thought we would all hang out, catch up and watch the video on our Ipad. Hanging out with our couple's by no means feels like work. Little did the couple know, we had a big surprise in store.

Tegan & Dave 2013 was posted on the Plaza Theatre’s marquee this evening. This was all part of our plan, surprise the couple with a viewing! The Plaza being the heart of Kensington was the perfect fit for the couple. It was time to meet them! They arrived across the way at Higher Ground, just as planned. I quickly explained that an Ipad viewing would not suffice for such an amazing couple and stunning wedding.

We all walked over to the Plaza. As soon as we walked around the corner, the marquee was in sight, they both gasped with excitement! I’m confident they said “ is this for us?”. I then handed them a bag of candy and a retro looking box full of pink popcorn. “Enjoy the show!” I said, as I held the main theatre doors open.

Tegan & Dave walked in, grabbed the best seats in the house, then it was time to roll the highlight reel! Our hearts were beating with excitement. The day had finally come. Fingers crossed that they love it as much as we do! We've got a few photos of the night below!
