This snowy couple session at Mt. Baker is here to heat things up. Alexandra Celia Photography was fortunate enough to capture the playful Gemma and Matthew as they hugged, twirled, ran, and kissed in the layers of forest snow. Gemma wore a slinky black maxi dress, but with all the warmth coming from these moments, she doesn’t look one bit cold!
Clara and Taz’s Australian wedding at Porteno & Gardel’s Bar was influenced by the old-school glamour of Audrey Hepburn and the like. Clara is an architect by trade, and she beautifully integrated elements inspired by their venue into the design of their wedding, including a unique and elegant invitation suite! Damien Milan Photography did a brilliant job capturing the festivities from every angle, subtly mimicking the clean lines and sophisticated styling of the day in each image.
Our theme was timeless, minimal elegance with a hint of old-school glamour. Being a designer and architect, Ihad a gold mine of concept images, mood boards and inspirations to draw from. Mostly, our inspirations came from art deco architecture, old black and white movies, style icons like Audrey Hepburn, and from the decor of the venue itself. Porteno has these beautiful grilles across its windows and entry doors, so I designed the pattern into our wedding invitations, the guest book, the cake topper, and even my earrings to complement it.
We were so lucky to have Damien Milan Photography capture the day for us – we met Damien and his partner Anastasia at a store/exhibition, and knew from the first moment we saw their work that we wanted them to photograph our wedding. They have a really unique style – it’s dreamy and ethereal, and like no other wedding photographer we’d seen before. We loved how they caught so many spontaneous moments and made all the photos look really natural.
My favorite moment was when Clara and I sneaked outside with the photographers for some unplanned shots, whilst all the guests were being seated for dinner. It was nice being able to spend a few moments in the quiet dusk light, just relaxing and being with each other.
I got sick soon after the wedding and had to have surgery, but the first thing I remember seeing when I woke up was my new husband beside my hospital bed, holding up a photo Damien and Anastasia had taken of our wedding – it made me completely forget about all the pain I was in, and for the first time that day I smiled and felt well again!
Rebecca and Reid’s Canadian elopement at Lake Louise is filled with natural eye candy only Banff National Park can provide. Luckily, the pair enlisted the help of My Canvas Media to capture every epic view and incredible moment. Rebecca and Reid made the last-minute decision to invite their family along for the ceremony, but a little highway traffic delayed them. In the meantime, the couple shared an unforgettable first look beside the icy blue lake, just the two of them and the breathtaking surroundings.
Reid and I planned on eloping, just the two of us, but made a last minute decision to invite our parents and siblings with just 24 hours notice. With family being from out of town, they flew in the morning of the wedding and then had to drive to Lake Louise. Due to highway traffic, our family and the officiant were almost two hours late which gave Reid and I some time together for a very special first look — I think that was one of my favorite moments. The look on his face when he first saw me is something I will never forget.
For our wedding, we wanted to keep things simple, intimate, and natural. We complemented the natural beauty of Lake Louise with natural colors, soft fabrics and simple lines. It was important to both of us that we were comfortable and were able to walk/explore around the lake.
A big thanks to My Canvas Media for sharing Rebecca and Reid’s breathtaking Banff elopement with Junebug! Be sure to check out our elopement inspiration board on Pinterest for more ideas!
