Sometimes a “day-after” wedding shoot is the way to go. You’re relaxed, happy and the pressure of the actual wedding day is off. It’s brilliant. Such was the case for Blake and Julianna. I shot their winter wedding photos on a coooold day in December. We started out in Okotoks where Julianna had her hair and make-up done by Shea Brown at Hue Hair Salon. The inspiration for elements of this winter wedding came from Snippet & Ink. Kathryn’s amazing blog is a feast for the eyes. If you’re looking for inspiration for your own wedding, check it out.

Many thanks to the lovely ladies at Evelyn’s Memory Lane Diner in High River. We ducked into the cafe to warm up and have hot chocolate. I couldn’t help but take a few shots against the classic diner backdrop. Next thing we knew, they had fired up the jukebox and the sound of George Strait’s “Carrying Your Love with Me” filled the diner (it is Alberta after all). Here are a few shots of Blake & Julianna dancing in the diner. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
