The Wedding Day

Pleased to finally share Darla & Travis’ Coloniale Golf Club & University of Alberta Botanic Garden Wedding. This was a survival day! Survival of the extreme heat! I swear this summer was the hottest on record for most consistent plus 30 weekend after weekend, but I’m happy to report we all did survive. A lot of my clients are worried sometimes about the heat when we’re in the peek of July and August, but I take extreme care of my clients on these crazy hot days. I will do everything I can to keep you in the shade as much as possible! Which often means I’m stuck standing the sun. But that’s something I’m happy to do, I’d rather I look sweaty than my couples.

Other tips on how to handle the heat on your wedding day, I know everyone wants to pack booze with them in their coolers for pictures but please also have a separate cooler for water. Bring sunscreen! I know, I know, brides don’t want to wear sunscreen on their wedding day. But what I carry on me at all times is the spray, go on clear, sunscreen. So you can’t even tell! You’re better off with is, safe rather than sorry my friends! And take breaks, I always tell my clients to pad their timelines I want to make sure you’re taking breaks. Also this gives you time to have some fun with your family and friends. That’s always a must on your wedding day!

Darla had such a clear vision for her wedding day, she knew exactly how each and every little detail should fall into place. So I’m really happy everyone was able to execute her day to perfection. I loved working with Darla and Travis, thank you both so much for trusting me!
