This was such a beautiful outdoor ceremony at GlenEagles Golf Course in Cochrane, Alberta. Alida and Nathan’s wedding guests could even see the Rockies in the far distance on this gorgeous day. We didn’t need to go anywhere but the golf course for photos, which was good because it was super windy — the strong winds even knocked over a heavy planter while we were shooting portraits! The view there was really lovely, with the big Alberta sky overhead.

Lots of emotion on this day, from a big happy (and obviously very connected and close) family. The speeches really tugged at everyone’s heart strings, and the love and happiness between the bride and groom was so easy to photograph because it was so apparent. Alida had lots of lovely touches, including her super cute blue flats and her colourful bouquet.

Without further ado, here’s a small assortment of photos from Alida and Nathan’s big day:

When Alida’s Dad came in to give her a hug before the wedding, and he saw her in her dress, he got all teary-eyed. It was adorbs.

I chose this picture for the sneak peek because it pretty much perfectly illustrates what a fun wedding party they were:

First dance…
