Oh my gosh! This is one of my favourite weddings I got to be apart of! I had met with Gwen and Ian a few weeks prior to their wedding. I could tell from that first meeting how in love these two were. Gwen and Ian are originally from Ontario and are here in Edmonton for work. They had a lot of family and friends fly in for this special event. They decided to do it in two days…the first day was the ceremony and brunch. The second day was photos (with me!) and then the reception.

I arrived as the girls were getting ready at the Holiday Inn. I soon learned that Gwen’s wedding dress was made by her mom! Her dress was incredible and had so many amazing special detail.(you’ll see soon!) They had their ceremony at the Royal Alberta Museum with their closest family and friends. The emotion from these two and everyone that surrounded them on that day was amazing to photograph.

After the ceremony, everyone headed to the Urban Diner for brunch. They all celebrated the newly weds! Want to see more from this wedding? Stay tuned to see Part 2 of their wedding day!
