A Bear and Bison Inn Wedding (Canmore)
Christiane + Krys
All images by Kalla Ramberg Photography based in Canmore (hey, that’s me!)
Christiane and Krys met in the most poetic way- literally. With Krys living in Canada and Christiane in New York City, the stars aligned when they met online in a poetry community and quickly bonded. Which could 1000% be the plot of a romcom, right?! These two had their micro-wedding at Bear and Bison Country Inn, Canmore.
A few photos of the lovely A Bear and Bison Inn:
After getting ready, we headed down to Quarry Lake for some couple’s portraits before the ceremony:
Quarry Lake offers such a wide variety of scenery- from sprawling views of Canmore’s most famous peaks and Ha Ling mountain towering overhead, to this lovely corridor of trees:
We strolled around the lake for photos and soaked up the views:
The ceremony was held in the outdoor gazebo:
For as many smiles as there were that day (and trust me, there were MANY) there was an equal amount of tears, embraces, and emotional moments since it was obvious that their love for each other couldn’t be contained:
My favourite first kisses are the ones where you can tell that they’re grinning ear to ear during it:
SERIOUSLY- how contagious are their smiles?! These two are the best kind of humans, it’s not often that you find people with hearts as big as they have:
After the ceremony, we jumped into some family photos and began the celebration:
Here are a few details from their day including table settings, cake, rings, and decor:
We used the open space as a dancefloor once the dinner tables were cleared up. Again- so much laughing and so much crying (as a wedding should be!)
I, too, smile this hard whenever cake is involved:
As always, Bear and Bison inn was a fantastic choice for these two to tie the knot. Surrounded with love and mountains, it could not have been a more perfect day.
Testimonial:
“We were floating as we went through these files. Some of them had us laughing to the point of tears, and all of them made us both float back to every moment captured.
I keep going through them - and it only confirms what I already knew - I am going to marry this man over and again in this lifetime, and in every lifetime that comes after.
You’re a gift and these are all so precious.” -Christiane and Krys
