Shelly & Mark’s Wedding At The Calgary Zoo

Love love love this wedding (and couple) so much! What an amazing day! I just love photographing beautiful weddings at the Calgary Zoo!  The surroundings feel magical with the animals humming in the background.  Shelly & Mark planned a gorgeous outdoor wedding ceremony and of course we all prayed to the sun goddess!  As you can imagine we were a little worried as the days leading to their wedding as it was alternating between sun & rain for the whole week prior! Thank you SUN GODDESS!

I arrived at Shelly’s on Saturday  all revved up for a beautiful wedding. Shelly is one of the most calmest brides I have come across so far not to mention beautiful. She has a angelic, classic look about her. Her dress was exquisite (loved it)! She is stunning ! The look on Mark’s face when she walked down the aisle was the look of emotional bliss.

This wedding pretty much left us speechless. Everyone was amazing and fun to be around. The speeches were fantastic and hilarious. Let’s just say Mark has his fair share of funny stories that were told about him!  The decorations were thoughtful and simple, and the wedding party and their family were so laid back and easy going it didn’t feel like we were working at all.

Thank you guys for this opportunity – it was a fantastic day and sooooo stress-free (which is always refreshing!) Shelly and Mark you are just wonderful people! Judith and I are so happy for you. Cheers and congratulations in your happily ever afters!

Lots of love – Shawna & Judith
