Kolby + Rob's Winter Wedding At Eagle Ranch Golf Resort Invermere
Kolby + Rob's Wedding Highlight Reel
We had the great pleasure of capturing Rob and Kolby's wedding in Invermere, B.C at Eagle Ranch Golf Resort this past February! It was our first time in Invermere shooting a wedding!
Kolby and Rob love winter and winter sports. They wanted their guests to enjoy the beautiful setting! The original plan was a winter wedding, with a dash of falling snow. As you might know, not everything goes as planned. We ended up with warm weather and no snow!! The flip side was, the lack of wind and cold allowed for some absolutely stunning and breath taking shots not typical to winter shoots. You'll need to watch the video to see what we're saying. These are things we can't order from mother earth- they just happen!
From the stunning location, beautiful couple, charming decor details, beautiful cake made by the brides friend, energetic dance floor and Kolby's two incredible gowns. This wedding will go down in history for us! Thank you for sharing the day with us!
Big thank you to Cole of Cole Hofstra Photography, photographer extraordinary, for connecting us with this couple and sharing the day with us! You'll have to see the sweet light painting shots he captured of Kolby and Rob!
Enjoy the film & thanks for stopping by!

Kayla + David's Wedding Highlight Reel
From the moment we met David and Kayla for coffees this past fall, we knew their film would be something special. Their relaxed nature and kind personalities were contagious, we couldn't wait for their wedding!
This was our last winter wedding of the season! We came prepared for a winter wedding. The weather was on our side that February morning. From the stunning views and incredible natural light flooding into Kayla's parents breathtaking lake front home, the morning went by smoothly. Every detail of the wedding was precisely planned. From the stunning floral arrangements with hints of pinks and purples to the purple lighting at Southview Alliance Church. The ceremony space was incredible, from the lighting, decor and service.
Kayla and David are meant to be. We know it, and you will too after you see the film. From the way David looks at Kayla, you just know he loves this girl-we think all their friends and family can agree! We will let their highlight reel tell you all about their love story and incredible romance. Massive thank you to their guests for executing a perfect grand exit!
Thanks for sharing your day with us! Congrats!!

Kristy + Chad | Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise | Winter Wedding
Introducing Kristy & Chad from Regina, Saskatchewan!
The air was crisp Friday afternoon in Lake Louise, the day before the wedding. Which coincided with Valentine’s day! What a romantic weekend for a mountain wedding! We're excited to tell you more about this incredible wedding!
We let Kristy, the bride know we would love to capture any pre wedding day gatherings that friday afternoon. Some of the family decided to go skating on Lake Louise! We had to join them! It was great to connect with the family before the big day and watch them skate around.
The next morning we were up and ready to capture the day! The moment we saw Kristy, she was beaming with joy and happiness. She was so thrilled and grateful to have so many of her friends and family in Lake Louise for the weekend. Her suite had the most beautiful jaw dropping views! I think everyone took a moment to take in the beauty of the mountains. It was a great meeting point for friends and family to pop in and greet the bride! Kristy’s genuine love for her family was truly touching. It was a family filled day for sure ! What a trek it was for many of the guests, mostly coming in from B.C. and Saskatchewan.
Justin spent time with Chad and his friends that morning. Chad’s little nephew was there too. What a cutie! Justin captured Chad reading a letter he had written to Kristy. How touching! You can tell how much he loves this girl! The full letter will be in the extended film!
On to the ceremony- It look place in the centre of Banff, at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. It was cozy and charming. Kristy’s grand father led the ceremony. We loved his anecdotes of his time spent in Lake Louis in years past. Additionally, watch out for the Ring Bear in the film!
After the ceremony, Abby Photography took us around to various locations around Lake Louise for the photo period. What a blast it was to work with this award winning duo!! While out on the lake, there were tourists checking out the sights. Many children stopped to admire Kristy and claimed she was an ice princess, it was really cute! She truly was though! Kristy and her mom came prepared with cozy boots, with matching jackets and gloves! Their bond and friendship was one to admire! They laughed and enjoyed having their photos taken in this winter wonderland.
Later was the champagne reception back at Chateau Lake Louise. Complete with Kristy’s cousins managing the guestbook station. What stood out the most for us, were the two gowns and photos set up in the room. These were her two grandmother’s wedding gowns and photos of them on their wedding day. We love family mementos. It’s really what weddings are about, families coming together and sharing memories amongst each other.
The reception was stunning with black, ivory and champagne decor. We loved the floor plan, complete with a combination of long tables and round. The guest favour’s were custom M&M’s! What a great idea! Everyone needed a chocolate fix, since after all it was Valentine’s day weekend! (Yes, it’s a weekend now..not just a day!!- Let your lovers know.) We had those the next day on the car ride home to Calgary! Thanks guys!
Last but not least! The guests were invited to change into something more casual for what was to come, as the reception was black tie/formal. I captured the guests as they gathers for the ride to the barn. Waiting at the meeting point was a lovely hot chocolate station set up by the Fairmont. We then took a short slay ride over to the Brewster Barn.
Kristy and Chad are the perfect match. From the moment we met a few months back over Skype, to the emotion in their vows, to the way Chad looks at Kristy. They understand each other, respect each other and best of all, can have a good laugh together. They are so laid back, which we loved too! The newlywed's even have some mean dance moves. Upon entry to the barn they had a whole dance routine planned. Part way into their choreographed dance, close family joined them!!! So good! Everyone was beaming and enjoying the moment. The party was then in fun swing!
It’s genuine couple’s like this who remind us why we were filmmakers and passionate about love stories. What an absolute pleasure and honour it was to spend the day with Kristy & Chad in the mountains. We are over joyed with happiness for this couple! Congrats!!!
Enjoy the film!

Miranda + Jordan | A Winter Elopement | Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
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!!
