We had been corresponding with Erin & Jamie long distance regarding their upcoming engagement shoot, but hadn’t officially met since they live in Alberta. When they mentioned that they were heading off this past fall to Oktoberfest in Germany and their top priority was to have fun on their wedding day, we immediately knew we would get along. We loved how they wanted to meet up at Big White Ski Resort in Kelowna for their photos and after some discussion we agreed to infuse a bit of classic Hudson’s Bay Company theme into the shoot and then go crazy at the end with some 80’s ski apparel for fun. Erin did a call-out to friends and family for ridiculous 80’s ski apparel and scored some pretty awesome stuff. Also, she came in the perfect jacket – a vintage Hudson’s Bay Company that her Mom used to wear!!!
Doing winter photoshoots are not for the faint of heart. Although the sun was shining at certain times, it was a cold day on the mountain, but Erin & Jamie rocked it! Thanks you two for being up for anything and withstanding the freezing temperatures. We can’t wait to photograph your wedding on September 21st at Linden Gardens in Kaleden, BC!
Part Deux: OK, Ready for some 80’s ski ridiculousness?!? Soft glow and all! I dare you not to laugh.
Yo, Erin + Jamie are getting married 09-21 y’all!
OK, now go watch the slideshow!

[…] The wedding décor included lots of handmade and Etsy goodness. They made lots of things including the ceremony arbor, direction sign posts, and seating chart bench. I think the most elaborate DIY item was the photo-booth which you will see below. Good job you two!!! They also paid homage to their love of skiing throughout the wedding (tables were all different ski mountains). In fact, you can check out their winter engagement session held at Big White Ski Mountain here. […]
