Michael & Deb’s Deane House Wedding

I just knew things were going to be a good fit with these two from the very beginning.

I opened my emails and read Deb’s email to me about her search for the perfect photographer. She said

they had contacted several photographers and just hadn’t found the right fit yet. And then she found

me and my style. She explained how she loved that my editing was right in the middle between light and

dark (which is my goal) and how she valued my experience and then she asked if we could meet to

discuss more and I was like heck yes we can. I met Deb alone for coffee and it was like instantly meeting a friend

I knew forever. We instantly clicked and as she told me about her and Michael and their day I just knew I had to

be a part of it.  Their day was about them and their relationships with the people they love and that

really showed the day of when they surrounded themselves with 16 of their closest friends

in their wedding party. It showed at their intimate tent reception when you heard people

laughing and saw people hugging and interacting everywhere you looked.  It meant alot to me

that they requested to spend less time on photos so they could make it back to their cocktail hour

to spend time with their guests. This was just one of those wedding days where I left with sore cheeks

from laughing and smiling so much.  I was a little sad that I had to leave without a donut from

their Tim Hortons donut bar cause those Tim donuts went to fast ha ha.

This day was just full of joy and love and I could go on and on about their day but lets hear from them.

How did you guys meet ? 

Michael and I met on a “blind” date ( as blind as blind dates can be these days – I saw a photo of him

before we met and was instantly googly eyed. I thought he looked like Prince William, haha!). Michael’s brother and his

girlfriend (one of my friends) arranged for us to meet!

Please share the proposal story with us? 

Michael and I have been spending our anniversary at the Rimrock in Banff ever since we met,

and he took me up there for our most recent anniversary last year, as per the tradition. He made

a reservation for a really nice dinner at The Eden, and told me to bring a dress and that he was

bringing a suit. I usually have to beg him to wear a suit outside of work, so with that, plus the

restaurant choice, I probably should have been tipped off, but fortunately I wasn’t! I almost even found

the ring in his suitcase that morning as I was thinking of cleaning it out for him and bringing it to Banff –

luckily I decided not to clean the front pockets out and just use it anyway. When he got home from work that

day and saw the suitcase at the front door, he thought for sure I had found it! He then moved the ring

when I wasn’t around into another bag which I strongly insisted he did not bring as we now looked

like we were packing for a week! Luckily I let it go, haha. When we finally got to Banff, I was in the

bathroom getting ready for dinner, and he told me he would get dressed outside the bathroom in the

room so that he could watch his favourite hockey team play (The Montreal Canadiens). I walked out

of the bathroom when I was dressed and saw the ring box open on the bed! I turned around in disbelief

and he was on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was totally surprised and of course,

the Canadiens scored! It was so magical and private and low key, and then we got to

celebrate with an amazing dinner. It was exactly what I wanted, just me and him.

Most memorable moment from your wedding day?
