Chris and Michelle's wedding in Canmore, Alberta

The story of our wedding

My now husband and I love to be in the mountains – we get out every chance possible, and stay busy doing hikes, scrambles, rock climbing, and snowboarding in the winter. The mountains are where I agreed to date Chris after our first hike together, where he proposed to me, and so ultimately we knew we had to be married there as well!

Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club was the perfect fit for us! Nestled right into the mountains outside of Canmore and offering a rustic, intimate setting, we knew it was right. We'd also heard so many good things from others about the service and food - which turned out to be true!

Our wedding decor was a mix of rustic glam. Wood and gold accents paired with burgundy, hot pink, light pink and peach florals, and lots of candles made for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Which was needed, because it wasn't exactly a nice summer day out, despite it being mid-August! I suppose that's what you can expect from the mountains - beautiful, but unpredictable. The day turned out to be cold and rainy, though we did catch a few breaks in the rain partway through photos.
