Since we’re “thinking small” these days, it’s the perfect time to share this intimate Creekside Villa wedding.  Creekside Villa is a charming boutique hotel tucked away in the town of Canmore.  They’re uniquely equipped for cozy, family celebrations.  I’ll borrow a bit from their website to explain why:

We have everything you need right on property to create your perfect event, complete with the majestic Rocky Mountains as your backdrop. With space to be wed either indoors or outside, we can comfortably host up to seventy guests to witness your nuptials and sleep up to forty in the house. With an ample foyer, cozy games room, picturesque courtyard and beautiful restaurant all onsite, there is no need to shuttle guests from the rehearsal to the ceremony to the celebration.

In this case, our couple were anxious to steal away and take some photographs of the breathtaking Bow Valley. Fortunately Creekside Villa is a short drive from some of my favorite photo locations in Canmore (including the infamous Three Sisters).

Finally, a special thanks to the staff for being so accommodating to my team and I.  I look forward to my next intimate Creekside Villa wedding.
