This is extremely rare but we were actually booked by Jaclyn’s parents on behalf of Jaclyn and Don. Jack and Mary Lynn spent a few hours with us looking through our work and we loved the two of them a tonne, enough to agree to this commission without ever meeting Jaclyn or Don. It wasn’t until their engagement session that I first met the two in person.
Fast forward to a gloomy and wet Saturday last week when they were married at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Calgary’s inner city. I’ve always been fascinated with this church and finally we had the chance to cover a wedding here. I think the best part of the ceremony was when they rung the church bells. Felt like I was in the Sound of Music. =)
It was an interesting day indeed with the rain coming down steadily all day before clearing up in the late afternoon. We did most of the pictures under the porch of an old building to avoid the rain. Wanting a bit more variety in the images, we then stopped at the Palliser for about 30 minutes to get some indoor stuff. That was just enough time for a few more frames of Jaclyn and Don in the hotel and also to have our vehicle hit by a bus outside. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the damage was minor. The bus company has already contacted us to deal with it.
And of course, the Silly Booth was set up again last weekend with Jaclyn’s little cousin Derek stealing the show. If you haven’t seen this hilarious video, scroll down a few more posts or click here. All in all, it was a wonderful day spent with wonderful people. We can’t really ask for more.
