Sorry for the extra wait on a blog post from our wedding this past weekend.  With Kevan off on the TransRockies Mountain Bike Race it took me a bit longer to get everything ready!

Angie and Stu had their wedding out at her parent’s ranch in Water Valley.  It really was an amazing spot for a wedding with the ceremony happening right on the front yard with the river in the background and horses grazing in the field behind them.  We strolled around with Angie and Stu for a while after their ceremony to grab some pictures of them on the property before heading back to Calgary for their reception.

There was an old wood stove in the dining room that I wanted to use for the ring shots but wasn’t quite sure how to show it off and still have the rings clearly visible.  Kevan grabbed them and used the miniature version of the stove perched on top the life-sized one.  Brilliant!

There’s those horses I was talking about…Just to make it more authentic, at one point a couple of cowboys strolled past too!

Toss up between the next two for my favorite from the day.

I know the next shot isn’t technically great (bit of a lens flare!) but I had to post it.  The donkey really liked Allison’s dress so it tried to eat it.  At first she tried to ignore it but in the end I had to go chase it away so Kevan could get a proper picture!

We even found a few classic cars on the property…

So we’re at the reception and the DJ comes up to me and asks me whether or not I know about “the surprise.”  I told him I did not and then he told me to look outside and standing there was none other then Paul Brandt.  I don’t know the details of how they got him there but I do know that he is a pretty good entertainer.  His second song had the crowd in stitches!  Surprisingly enough though, this isn’t the first time we’ve been at a wedding where he’s made a guest appearance.  Same thing happened at Mike & Becky’s wedding last year!
