Brendan & Ali’s Apple Creek Golf Course Wedding

When Ali and Brendan emailed me about their wedding I got a little extra excited. Not only cause

Brendan was in one of my weddings in 2016, but also because they were planning their day at Apple Creek Golf Course.

Apple Creek is like 10 minutes from my house so yay! And I actually shot their first ever wedding.  In 2013 my couple

was meant to get married at the Calgary Zoo but the floods changed everything and they had to replan their wedding

in one short week.  Lucky for them they were able to have their ceremony at Apple Creek and it was beautiful!

Returning 5 years later to see the new ceremony and reception spaces was amazing! It is a

stunning place to get married! And major bonus that it only took me 10 minutes to get home ha ha.  Ali and Brendan

did a sweet first look in Brendan’s moms backyard and then we headed into Calgary for their photos.  Even though I

live in Airdrie, I rarely shoot here as I find they do not have alot of parks with dense tree coverage which is what I

prefer as a location.  They were up for driving if the location was worth it so we drove to the beautiful

Confederation Park. What we were not expecting when we got there was that there was three wedding

ceremonies going on. Basically all three of the spots I picked for photos were taken as they are the best spots ha ha.

But with a little bit of walking we actually found another gorgeous spot and with the smokey overcast we had

some dreamy lighting.  I just loved shooting this wedding party cause two of my other couples were in it and

all the bridesmaids names started with S so I actually was able to memorize them all ha ha.

After we were done photos we headed back to Airdrie for their ceremony which was super emotional and

so beautiful. The gazebo overlooked the course and we even had some golfers stop for a viewing….

they were in a couple photos but they moved promptly . We planned to head out at sunset for some photos

but with the smoke we did not have much for sun and the storm clouds were rolling in. We tried to beat the

storm and went out for some photos but only lasted about 3 minutes and the clouds dumped on us.

It was a mad rush back to the clubhouse and I think my golf cart was only on two wheels a couple times ha ha.

How did you guys meet ? 

We met online on Tinder. 

Please share the proposal story with us? 

We bought our first house together and on the day we go the keys Brendan took the day off to move

our stuff from our old house but he actually went and picked up the ring which I was unaware of.

When I was done work I went to our new house to meet him and when I first came inside I saw an orchid

on the table and Brendan told me that it was because it was a special day. I started looking around the

house thinking he really didn’t get much done for taking the whole day off so I started unpacking

some of the boxes. Brendan kept trying to get my full attention but I was trying to get unpacked.

Eventually Brendan turn me to face him and then he got down on one knee and proposed. Ou

r friends came over to help us move but I was no help at all because I was so excited and

was calling my family to share the news. 

Most memorable moment from your wedding day?

With a big wedding party and a nice overcast sky I decided to do groom prep outside and I just love the photosThese boys have wore these awesome suits to a couple weddings and cause just the groom wears a vest Brendan

borrowed the best from the last groom so the inside of his vest had his friends name ha ha. Who I also

photographed in March! I often use a bridesmaids dress as a backdrop for the brides detailsOne of the 3 wedding ceremonies that I mentioned was going on just behind and to the right of these wedding

party photos so we tried to keep quiet and out of view =) Their flower girl was too cute. She was so meticulous about where she put her petals down ha ha. Dear any golfers that view this. If this is ever you stop briefly and move on. Its sweet for one photo cause it

tells the story but then it is like move on ha ha. She did move quickly so yay = )
