LaToya and Max’s magical winter wedding in Fernie

Wow – what a way to finish the 2015 year! I was stoked that it was a Fernie wedding (up at the Elkview Lodge) and it was amazing. I was also stoked for all of the fresh snow that we had received. When I first chatted with LaToya and Max about their day they talked about fresh snow, Fernie’s lights and shooting at dusk. What they couldn’t have known then was that it was going to be absolutely dumping snow on their wedding day!

Max actually built this arch for the wedding himself. I was very impressed!

The ladies over at Magical Transformations had the lodge looking fantastic!

Max received a special gift from LaToya. Loved watching his reaction!

We decided to get a few shots inside the lodge before heading outside. Figured that we needed a least a couple where snowflakes weren’t obscuring faces!

Because as you can see – it was really snowing heavily!

This one is just for LaToya. Go Oilers go!

We waited around downtown Fernie until the lights came on. Then we recruited a random snowboarder to hold a light for us and stood on the berm in the middle of the street. People definitely thought we were crazy.

Their entrance into the reception!

Lots of laughs during the (really good) speeches.

And a few more tender moments as well.
