Our Mountaintop Wedding – Anticipation

June 8th, 2010 by Geranium Blossom     
Wow… you are here… to the end of the formals! This has been a long journey of recaps, and more importantly, of emotion. As you have travelled with us chronologically the morning of the wedding, you have seen the amazing work of our photogs, [6:8] Photography, but I hope you have also felt the emotion of the day. The good, the bad, the ugly… and the amazing!! For those of you who have missed it and want to catch up, prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster…

  • The day started off calm as hair and make up got under way.
  • But with the reality that my wedding day had finally arrived, so too came some family issues that had been unresolved, and let’s be honest, I was torn.
  • After making the best decision I knew how to at the time, I started to get excited to see my husband, and my heart went crazy pitter-patter
  • And seeing my husband for the first time brought everything to a stop… and it really was pure bliss
  • A bit of frustration with rain and transportation resulted in some flask-ing
  • and let’s face it peeps, a bit of booze and umbrellas seems to calm things down… ahhhh-relaxed
  • My man was the coolest groom ever, and I couldn’t have been more proud
  • And when we were reminded of a turning point in our relationship, we realized just how blessed we were to be marrying eachother
  • As the morning turned in to afternoon, we were surrounded by the most comforting emotion yet… familiar love

And if you’re still with me, the journey brought us to our little trek in the trees. And at this time, their was really only one emotion in the air… anticipation. We had only a couple shots left before we drove back to the lodge to say our “I Do’s”. Admittedly, I kinda didn’t want to go. Not because I didn’t want to exchange vows, but because I was so LOVING hanging out with my groom…

How’s This as a Backdrop?

May 14th, 2009 by Geranium Blossom     

So one of our photographers (Kevan, of Kevan and Duane from 6:8 Photography) emailed me the other day, to ask me about our plans for photography for the wedding day. He wanted to suggest a location that was spectacular, but needed ~ 35 minutes (and a 4×4) to reach. The pros were… amazing photos, totally different from our engagement pictures, oh, and did I mention spectacular shots?? The cons were… took a bit of time to drive to, which would cut back on the number of shots we got in Fernie, and we needed a 4×4 to get there. BUT, to these I would argue, Fernie is cute and all, but let’s face it, we are there for the mountains, not the 1 street downtown. We got our engagement pics done all urban-ed up, so we really aren’t concerned about getting any skyscrapers in our pictures (of course there aren’t any anyways in Fernie). And is a 4×4 trek on your wedding day ever a con?? I say heck-no, let’s crack a road-pop while we’re at it!! (PS… road poppin in Western Canada is totally legit, although never legal!!)

How spectacular would the shots be you ask?? Well, feast your eyes bride-buds…wedding wedding photography, untitled
