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!!

Wedding's For the Modern & Chic Bride
We often get asked where there are unique places to find wedding accessories, attire and gifts. While Etsy is great, sometime you might be looking for something a little more luxurious or on trend. We want to share our favorite items now trending on www.bhldn.com
1. These letterpressed vow books. Not only is letterpress on trend but having your vows kept in these ultra chic books after your wedding are the perfect keepsake. We love these because not only will they look great on film, but they will sound great. Sound great you might ask? Well there's nothing more heart breaking than having our audio ruined by a bride or groom nervously scrunching up the paper in their hands at the alter!
2. This robe is so pretty and feminine. Who wouldn't want their make up done while chilling in this robe. There's nothing more heart breaking than a bride in a strained high school tee. While you're ordering this for yourself, consider these are bridesmaids gift!
3. It's your wedding day, why not have some fun with it. This adorable heart shaped clutch is the perfect crossroads between classy, sweet and fun. It's a neutral, so you could easily use this again! Every bride deserves a safe place for her lipgloss and compact
4. This ultra feminine rehearsal dress doubles as a sweet honeymoon dress! Sometimes lace can feel old and dated, but this dress is none of that. It's the perfect dress for your wedding rehearsal and dinner. Why not wear white as much as you can around your wedding?
