A Beautiful Summer Wedding!
Their Story
We had the fortunate opportunity to photograph this amazing couple’s engagement session. Be sure to check out their entire engagement session post where we share their personal love story here:
Wyatt & Groomsmen Getting Ready
We started the day off at Wyatt’s family home in Hay Lakes, Alberta. Here Wyatt was joined by his handsome groomsmen and the rest of his immediate family. When we arrived, we were greeted by a underwearclad groom and groomsmen. We photographed them having coffee in their underwear. FYI, those pictures are epic and hilarious!
Following that, we photographed the details at the groom’s house including the shoes, the suits the guys were gonna wear as well as the Movado watch that Wyatt received as a gift. We concluded the photos here with some emotional photos of Wyatt sharing moments with his mom and dad!
At the very end of the photos, we photographed Wyatt with his cousins where they held him in a plank position that is a family tradition at every wedding for the Warawa’s. We then headed towards Ferrintosh where Samantha was getting ready with her Family!
Samantha & Her Family Getting Ready
Upon arrival at Samantha’s family home, we were greeted with a house full of activity and emotions! All of Samantha’s immediate family were there including her adorable niece’s and nephews! Regan had just finished up Samantha’s makeup and she looked absolutely beautiful!
We photographed the details of Samantha’s dress, her gorgeous shoes, her Jewellery as well as some of the gifts Samantha had recieved from her family. Samantha then got in her dress. Samantha’s mom helped her with the dress and jewellery. They shared a moment then when both of them couldn’t hold back tears. Both kep telling each other not to cry so as not to ruin the makeup! It was absolutely adorable!
Her father hadn’t seen her yet so we setup a reveal for them. Samantha walked up to her dad and tapped him on the shoulder. Her father saw her as a bride and immediately teared up! They shared an adorable moment together with lots of tears and emotions.
We finished with some photos of Samantha with her bridal party. Following that, we headed out to the ceremony venue, St Francis Xavier Church, in Camrose.
Their Ceremony at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church
Samantha & Wyatt had a beautiful and soulful ceremony at the St Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Camrose. Their ceremony was directed by Deacon Doug Tiens who did a fabulous job! The ceremony included several prayers, songs and blessings from the couple’s family members.
When Samantha walked down the aisle, neither Wyatt nor Samantha could hold back their tears. At one point, I noticed moisture in the eye piece of the camera. I am sure it was because something got in my eye and not because I was crying with the couple!
The beautiful ceremony was concluded with Deacon Doug giving a blessing and the couple walking out with the cheers of their friends and family!
The Family Photos at Rosehaven Care Centre Grand Entrance
We did family photos right after the ceremony at the Rosehaven Car Centre. They have a beautiful grand entrance with multiple staircases. This made for an ideal location for the family photos! Mathea & Sharla did a really good job of rallying and organizing the family members to make the family portraits efficient!
The Creative Formals at Lougheed Performing Arts Centre
After concluding the family formals, we moved on to the creative formals for the couple and the bridal party. During the creative formals, we create some epic photos for Samantha & Wyatt. These photos often become printed pieces of artwork in our client’s homes.
We finished up the portraits at the Augustana Campus of University of Alberta in Camrose. Both of these locations combined with the day’s weather made for perfect combination for the formal photos!
The Warawa’s Reception at Lougheed Performing Arts Centre
The Dinner provided by the staff at Lougheed Performing Arts Centre
The reception for Samantha & Wyatt’s wedding was held at the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose. The staff at the venue had done an amazing job of making the venue looked absolutely beautiful for the couple’s wedding.
The guests enjoyed some cocktails before the couple and the bridal party made their entrance to loud applause and cheers! They started the dinner following a prayer. The dinner itself was a buffet that was delicious! Following the dinner, the family members and loved ones of the couple gave several emotional and hilarious toasts!
One memorable toast was that from Wyatt’s brother where he told everyone about his first meeting with Samantha. One of the first things she said to him was “I can do a split, wanna see?” and immediately followed that statement up with a true two-legged split. That was met with hilarious applause and un-ending laughter from the bride and groom.
We love capturing moments like this at the reception and you will see below in the photos, how real and un-posed they are!
We then photos the couple as they cut their adorable custome made cake! The was followed by our signature reception slideshow where we showed the couple photos form their wedding day. Check out the link below to their reception slideshow:
First Dance!
We concluded the evening with their first dance where Samantha & Wyatt wowed their guests with their amazing dance moves! We captured this in a cinematic manner so the couple could remember the highlights of their wedding day in epic detail. As the rest of the guests joined the couple on the dance floor, we photographed some highlight moments of the celebrations. The evening ended with a bouquet toss!
The Warawa Wedding Day Slideshow
Above is the beautiful Wedding Slideshow that came with BRIDE & GROOM’s wedding package. It was created from a selection of their best photos.
It was amazing to work with BRIDE & GROOM on their wedding day and we can’t be more excited to share their final images with them in the coming weeks! You can check out the rest of our work at our blog!
