Just before Christmas time I, along with my family, had the opportunity to travel to Panorama, B.C to photograph a wedding. Ever since I was booked for this wedding (over a year ago) I was more than excited for this day to come. I would imagine what it would be like to photograph in the mountains.
Nicole; the bride would send me photos of the location and I couldn’t wait!!!
We arrived the day before, and I was overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the mountains. There was not one spot I had to take photos at since every where I looked caught my eye! Both bride and groom got ready in a 3 storey wooden cabin, the snow was falling perfectly as I arrived, just in time to hang the dress on the outside door.
I was like a kid on Christmas morning! I was so excited and so inspired! We did many of the bridesmaid photos before we left for the ceremony just a short walk to a treed area in front of the cabin. The scenery before my eyes was like a painted canvas, it was surreal.
The bride had turned her late grandmothers fur coat Into a fur shall, inside this shall was her grandmothers initials- the bridesmaids wore beautiful long navy gowns. The accent color was gold, a nice festive touch.
The ceremony took place in the town of Invermere, at the golf course. We took the family photos immediately after the ceremony outside with mountains surrounding. The wedding party was amazingly fun and easy to work with!
Since the days were much shorter at this time of year we had to hustle to catch as much light as we could, we had everything from overcast to the sun peeking out during our formal photos- made for a nice variety of photo opportunities. We stopped on the side of the road, (more like side of the mountain!) on our way back to the reception to catch a few photos.
The reception was beautiful, woodsy and intimate.
As I reflect of on this gorgeous wedding, it was nothing short of a beautiful and magical day for Brody and Nicole! A wedding I would do over and over again! I can’t wait to revisit this place again one day! Thank you for having me travel along with you to capture your wedding day!
