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

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.”
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!
