It's been a year and three days since we filmed this beautiful couple's fairytale wedding at Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. The newlyweds received their Highlight film last fall but now the wait is over for the rest of you (yay!), we were anxiously awaiting for the latest issue of Calgary Bridal Guide to be released, the wedding was feature in the the Real Weddings, Destination section. We were over the moon to see this wedding in print! Check out the wonderful write up with a few words from Alison, the bride. (click to enlarge image below)

We hope you enjoy this film. We love the song selection we made and the amazing details and moments captured!!

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!

xoxo

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!
