Banff Winter Wedding

Emily & Alan

Emily and Alan’s Banff Winter Wedding was the perfect day filled with lots of snow and surrounded by friends and family from around the world. When we first met with Emily and Alan a few months before their wedding Alan was hoping for it to snow on their day, so he could celebrate a white wedding and Christmas with his family and friends coming in from a hot New Zealand summer. After waking up to 30cm of fresh snow in Banff on their big day we knew Alan was going to be all smiles!

Buffalo Mountain Lodge Wedding

When it snows this much in the mountains all you feel like is being in a warm cabin next to a fire with a hot chocolate and this couple had thought of it all! They were lucky with a mild day and decided to still have their ceremony outside across the road from their venue at Tunnel Mountain Reservoir. The kind staff shoveled out an aisle leading to an open space for their guests to watch them say their vows. It was one of the most beautiful ceremonies we have ever seen. We were all surrounded by snow falling, with warm drinks in hand, white watching the beautiful mountains in front of us while Emily and Alan said their beautiful vows.

Their Story

Emily and Alan met in London, UK and it was immediately a perfect match. From his best mans speech, Emily ticked not on one of Alan’s boxes but pretty much them all! Alan grew up in New Zealand and ever since his family can remember has been fascinated with Hockey. A sport not so common in the warm north island of New Zealand. When he met the beautiful Emily, smart, funny with similar interests and Canadian! well the rest is history.

We feel so lucky that we got to share this beautiful day with these two lovely people. There is something so special and intimate about winter weddings and Emily and Alan really embraced the season when planning their wedding. We hope you enjoy a little look into their day.
