Capturing Love Beyond Your Wedding Day: The Wedding Portrait Project in Jasper
Greetings, fellow lovebirds! I am thrilled to share the story behind our latest endeavour, the Wedding Portrait Project. As professional wedding photographers and happy partners in both life and business, my partner Jeff and I knew that our own special day needed something extraordinary. With the summertime vibes filling the air, we embarked on an epic journey to create timeless memories in the breathtaking landscapes of Jasper National Park.
A Unique Vision: You see, we wanted to break free from the traditional constraints of capturing wedding photos in a single day and location. We wanted to savour the beauty of our home, Jasper, and explore all the extraordinary spots that hold a special place in our hearts. So, armed with a gorgeous dress that could be easily packed and quickly changed into, we set out to inspire brides (and grooms!) with our non-traditional approach to wedding portraits.
Endless Possibilities in Jasper: Jasper National Park is a wonderland of awe-inspiring locations, each more magical than the last. Our project aims to encourage brides to think outside the box and embrace the idea of wearing their dress for more than just the wedding day. Why let it hang in the closet, collecting dust, when you can give it new life against the backdrop of your dream location? By opting for separate portrait sessions, you can create a stress-free experience without compromising time on the wedding day itself.
Capturing the Essence: To kick-start the Wedding Portrait Project, we ventured into a magnificent canyon, surrounded by mesmerizing ice formations. It was a tad chilly, but the goosebumps were worth it when we saw the enchanting images we had captured. This inspired the next location in this saga, an ice cave in the Columbia Ice field. Once again, a cold location that included a bit of a trek but it was a lot of fun and something we will never forget! Now as the winter has turned to summer we have been looking at some of our favourite locations more accessible in the warmer months. In this latest chapter we ventured out to a nearby lake with pristine blue waters. There was a haze of smoke in the air from distant wildfires, so we picked a spot that would showcase the mountain beauty close up and focused on more tightly cropped portraits showcasing the water background. As always, the blend of natural beauty and our own story unfolded before our lenses, creating memories that will forever remember. Each portrait session in this series will be an unforgettable adventure, a journey through love and nature that we cherish deeply.
A Keepsake for a Lifetime: As our wedding grows closer we have decided to continue our project after the big day as well. This way we can switch and have Jeff in front of the camera too (we didn't want to get his suit dirty before the wedding day haha)! Once the project is complete, we'll be excited to compile an album featuring all the remarkable locations we've explored. This tangible keepsake will serve as a constant reminder of our incredible journey and the love that brought us together in this amazing place. It's not just a collection of photographs; it's a treasure trove of cherished memories that we'll hold close to our hearts forever.
