spiritwood wedding photography – a & k

Checking the weather forecast in the week leading up to this wedding, it seemed to keep calling for more and more rain.  I was getting a little nervous, only because I had never had a wedding out in Spiritwood before, and didn’t have first hand knowledge of any of their locations (indoors or out).

We had chatted about different location ideas, and rainy day plans (one of the best mottos I have ever heard, thanks to my growing up with a Beaver/Cub/Scout leader for a dad, is BE PREPARED)  They had some great ideas for different locations, and even shared a couple photos they had quickly snapped on a trip to the town before the wedding. A couple quick phone calls in the days leading up to the big day also secured us an indoor location in the event we needed it.

And we lucked out, it was a little drizzly, but only needed to wait out a quick shower before continuing on with their photos!

This was a wedding that brings tears to your eyes, you could see how much love every single person in attendance has for this couple.  Everyone was so incredibly welcoming and willing to help.  One of the MC’s for the reception had even called me shortly after the bride and groom had booked me to photograph their wedding, just to introduce herself, and offer up any assistance to me that she could.

From the groom’s grandmother making their wedding cake (as she has made all the family’s wedding cakes), the groom’s sister and one of the bride’s friend’s doing hair and make up, and an aunt officiating the ceremony, the china at the head table being a family heirloom, so many of their amazing details of their wedding were made extra special by friends and family being a part.

You couldn’t help but be inspired watching how this day unfolded.  I hope you enjoy these images!
