I’m happy to share my Calgary wedding portfolio including features throughout the wedding blog world and in numerous magazines. A personal highlight was an article on my home and office studio in Avenue Magazine. For several projects I wore the hat of designer, stylist and photographer, together with some of the most talented professionals in the region. Take this series leading up to the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle featured in Confetti for example.

Love Comes Full Circle in Downtown Calgary
It all started with circles. Janelle from Flowers by Janie created gold circular wedding arches for ceremony backdrops. Rings have long been symbolic for commitment, having no beginning and no end. How fitting to add this metaphor for eternity into a wedding celebration.

Donut walls…”the best thing to happen to weddings this year”. A few simple details, a touch of lavender and a wall of delicious donuts made this bridal shower perfection. Since appearing on Inspired By This, this donut wall has been featured by Good Housekeeping and on the Rachael Ray Show.

Romantic Orchard Wedding Full of Pastels
I knew Kari and Derek’s wedding would be fabulous. She was a fashion blogger with a love for everything pink and sparkly and he, a dashing pilot. Fabulous indeed.
They tied the knot in a family orchard overlooking Kalamalka Lake in Oyama, British Columbia. From the handmade invitations to the wedding arch, (made with love by the bride’s father), thought went into every detail.
Throughout the planning process, Kari kept referring back to her favorite wedding blog, Style Me Pretty. It was a dream come true for her to have her wedding featured there a few months later.

Autumn-inspired Bridal Portraits
You never know what autumn in the Rockies will be like. Here in Calgary, we’ve had our moments full of beautiful fall shades but also our share of snowflakes. On this day, autumn won out. Our bride Evan was breathtaking in the Bowie gown by Hayley Paige. I love the touch of denim with the cascading tulle skirt and fall foliage. Jaime from Fleurish Flower Shop outdid herself with this fragrant mix of blooms including Roses, Hanging Amaranthus, Astrantia and Eucalyptus.

Décor for a Rustic Chic Wedding in Calgary
Meadow Muse Pavilion is a breathtaking location for an outdoor wedding in Calgary. Located in the heart of Fish Creek Park, this tented venue really brings the outdoors in. In keeping with the natural setting, the décor designed by Naturally Chic Weddings was both modern and botanical with hints of shimmering gold.
The fall florals featured seasonal blooms and produce. That’s right, kale and artichokes. In a nod to the deer we spotted outside in the meadow, gold deer figurines dotted the tables and even the wedding cake. Avenue Magazine reached out to highlight this beautiful venue in their annual wedding issue. I'm pleased to add it to my Calgary wedding portfolio.
