Winter wedding photos

Hillary and Grant were married on a freezing cold (though very pretty) Saturday in January.  These two came prepared for their winter wedding photos with boots, furs and winning attitudes.  Well done Hillary and Grant!  The results are so pretty and not a goosebump in sight.

Hillary’s spectacular lace gown was by designer Madison James.

If you follow along on my blog, you’ll know that I have a bit of a thing for shoes.  I have to admit, my shoe-loving heart skipped a beat when I saw Hillary’s Manolos.

Winter wedding photos at SAIT

Hillary and Grant decided on a “first look” to kick off their wedding day (a couple after my own heart).  I love what unfolded as the bride strolled up and tapped her groom on the shoulder…ear-to-ear grins and lots of laughs.  Heritage Hall at the SAIT campus was the perfect, classic backdrop for their winter wedding photos that day.

After their photo session, we headed to Hillhurst United Church Calgary for their romantic, candlelight ceremony.
