A Golden Fall Elopement in Calgary

A Golden Fall Elopement in Calgary

The sun set the tone for this enchanting evening elopement at Pearce Park in Calgary Alberta, and I was privileged enough to capture the love and magic through my lens.

As a photographer, I am trusted with the opportunity to witness and capture life's most beautiful moments. This fall elopement was nothing short of a love-infused spectacle, awash in hues of red gold orange and green.

Pearce Park, with its simple beauty, was the chosen locale. With a palette that transforms dramatically, especially during fall. The golden leaves provided a backdrop that was nothing short of a painter’s dream, lending every picture a touch of warmth and depth that made the day even more magical.

The setting sun draped everything in its golden radiance. Each shot seemed to be lifted straight out of a fairy tale. From the laughter that echoed through the trees, to the intimate whispers and shared glances, each moment was soaked in, and immortalized in time.

However, such an enchanting evening could not have come to life without the hard work and dedication of an incredible team of vendors. The beautiful floral arrangements added a touch of elegance, while the delicately crafted cake and champagne tower had us swooning. Each vendor contributed their individual talents to create a symphony of visual delight.

In conclusion, this fall styled elopement in Calgary was more than an assignment. It was an intimate celebration of love, a testament to the harmony between humans and nature, and a showcase of collective creativity. As I share these radiant and golden images with you, I hope you feel the love, warmth, and joy.

I am incredibly grateful to be part of such an extraordinary event and hope to continue capturing the magic and beauty of life's most precious moments. As always, I am excited to share more stories and experiences with you. Keep watching this space for more of my journeys through the lens. Until then, keep the love flowing.

xx Ash

“Ashley is so talented. She knows how to capture you in the most flattering ways. Her knowledge of lighting and angles is incredible. Once I received my images back I was blown away and literally could not believe it was me. I highly recommend Ashley.”

The travelling dress, Lethbridge Alberta

The Travelling dress, Lethbridge Alberta.

Taking part of a travelling dress collective with some of the most incredible local photographers was a little intimidating. Especially when it meant I had to turn my art into prints and hang them in a professional gallery, as well as go to an opening gala, with my prints hanging next to the work of said mind blowingly talented photographers. It was a project that took nearly a year to bring to fruition, but it feels so good now that it is here.

Lets take a moment to talk about the shoot itself.
I had planned for sunshine/sunset. But in typical Southern Alberta weather, It was pouring buckets and so cold (not to mention the glacier water I had her LAY in…….). I wrapped my camera up in a plastic bag, crossed my fingers and away we went. The entire shoot start to finished lasted maybe 20 minutes but it was absolute gold. I wish we could have stayed out there for hours like planned but the truth is, we couldn’t have created what we did with a sunny day.

My concept.
A beautiful bride, left at the altar. In dismay, she feels as she is drowning.

The talent.
Emily of Petal and Stem took my floral inspiration and nailed it completely.
Tamara of Tamara Martin Makeup obviously killed it.
Victoria Kapcsos blew me away on Taryn’s hair
Jocelyn of Home Range Goods helped me set up the entire table set while she was pregnant IN THE RAIN, oh and she drove 6 hours total to help me out. GODSEND.
Taryn Sailer was my beautiful model, she was perfect.

Now for the goods.

Thank you for taking the time to check out these images. I am looking forward to next years Travelling dress collaboration. Special thank you to Lorelei Hoffarth, Jackie Standing, and Shannon Bos for putting together this event, the dedication these ladies have is one of a kind. The collection will be on display at Mortar and Brick in Lethbridge until February 29th, 2020.

LINDSEY + RAYMOND // LETHBRIDGE ALBERTA ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Lethbridge, Alberta engagement session with Lindsey + Raymond.

When you come into a session as in love and willing to have a good time as these two, you leave with a whole lot of magic. I don’t have words for how much I adore these two. I will be capturing their Norland Estates wedding in May and it cannot come fast enough.

OK OK I’ll get to it. I hope you make it through these, there are quite a few ( and i’m not even close to showing them all)

Wild Rose Bridal was the magic behind Lindsey’s hair and hairpiece!

Hope you enjoyed this engagement session. It would make me VERY happy to book 100 more sessions just like this, just saying…
