It has been far too long since we have shot a wedding up at Island Lake Lodge (Cathryn and Mike in 2011). It’s only 10 km from Fernie, but when you go up to the Lodge it really does feel like its a 1000 km from anything. To say that it is beautiful really doesn’t begin to do it justice.
It was a privilege to be able to capture the deep and rich connection between Darcie and Harald. It was instantly apparent just how much they adore each other.
Tell me that I am not the only one that sees a heart in this cloud. This has to be considered a good sign right?

After their first look we went down to the Old-Growth Forest for a few simple portraits.
Then it was back up to the Lodge for the ceremony.

Harald’s son performed a song that he written just for the two of them.
Right after the ceremony it was threatening to rain, but I really wanted to get a few shots of them while we were by the lake.
And then the rain came. We made it back to safety of the dry van just in time!
During their thank-you speech I slipped outside onto the deck for a different perspective.
First-dance.
