Nicole and Scott sure know how to throw a party. Coming all the way from Edmonton, these two chose to have their intimate wedding at the River Cafe in downtown Calgary. And I am so glad they did.

While the day started off with clear blue skies, the clouds began to build and unfortunately, by the time the ceremony had rolled around, the skies opened up to a short but heavy downpour of rain. Luckily, the venue worked hard and everything was moved inside at the very last minute. The ceremony was short and sweet, included a bourbon tasting and finished with a champagne toast.  

Thankfully, the rain let up in time for our outdoor portraits following the ceremony. Nicole and Scott had their engagement photos done at Prince's Island park last summer, so it was great getting to recreate some of the photos a year later. They had planned for some additional photos during golden hour, and while the weather might not have cooperated, the stormy skies made for some amazing moody photos during our second portrait session. 

The reception was a full blown family affair - a few years ago, Nicole's sister actually married Scott's brother. And so, with familiar faces reconnected, the celebration was in full swing - I don't think this party could have been more fun to watch. 

Nicole + Scott, it has been so great getting to know you both over the past year and a half. It was an absolute honour being part of your day - I hope it was everything you dreamed it would be. I wish you both all the best in your marriage and life together!
