An intimate family elopement in the heart of Spray Lakes. Folk-inspired, deeply personal, and tender in every detail. Vintage lace, thrifted attire, and abundant florals framed their quiet canoe paddle across the water. With mountains rising around them and a baby on the way, the day felt wholesome, grounded, and beautifully sacred.
THEY GOT READY AT SOLARA RESORT IN CANMORE
THE DAY WAS SHOT ON A MIX OF 120 + 35MM FILM AND DIGITAL
WE DROVE UP TO THE SPRAY TOGETHER WITH THEIR PUP, OLIVE
THE SUN CAME OUT FOR THE CEREMONY AND TURNED THE WATER A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT BLUE
JOSH'S FAMILY WAS IN ATTENDANCE AND MADISON'S MOM FLEW ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA TO BE APART OF THE DAY
OLIVE WANTED SO BADLY TO JOIN THEM
AFTER THE CEREMONY, THEY TOOK THE FAMILY CANOE OUT FOR A PADDLE TO SOAK IN ALL OF THE EMOTIONS OF THE DAY
THEY THEN EXPLORED THE VAST LANDSCAPE SILENTLY REFLECTING ON THE JOURNEY THEY TOOK TO GET TO THIS DAY
THE WIND WAS FIERCE
PEEP THE BARE FEET <3
WE PLAYED WITH HER VEIL IN THE WIND
THE SPRAY LAKES ARE DAM CONTROLLED AND IN THE EARLY SUMMER THE WATER LEVELS ARE QUITE LOW. BECAUSE OF THIS WE GET CRAZY TEXTURES AND ALIEN LIKE LANDSCAPES
AFTER BEING BLOWN AWAY EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY WE HOPOED BACK IN THE TRUCK AND MADE OUR DESCENT BACK TO TOWN
