Whitney found me through another photographer that I had shot with multiple times, Anna Mae, and I remember upon first receiving her request I was immediately attracted by the streamlined, organized style of Whitney’s inquiry. Don’t get it twisted, this lady is a BOSS lady and she essentially had the blueprint for her wedding laid out before reaching out to me. She was so excited to work on this wedding with her vendor team in a way that it sort of became a passion project for all of us. Passion for the outdoors, style, and just cool ass locations. I forgot to mention that the wedding took place in BANFF, CANADA, and being someone that had visited Canada multiple times, I was on board with making this wedding happen by all means.
When planning a wedding in another country, or really when planning to photograph anywhere in public, you need proper permitting, and Whitney saw those hoops from a mile away and we tackled those obstacles together. After many video calls and email correspondence, the big day came, or should I say the big week came. I spent the week with this couple’s friends, family, and close friends and it was as if I had become part of the family. Everyone was so sweet and kind, and it was a really immersive experience being in a new place with new people. I was lucky to have my buddy, Dave, there to let me crash at his place and show me around the local haunts when we weren’t shooting.
The wedding took place at the scenic Cypress Mountain Tunnel and the reception at the grand and glorious Fairmont Hotel. It was an inspiring experience to see this vision brought to life before my eyes in such a beautiful way.
