My Wedding Day Was Absolutely Perfect!!

August 27th, 2022 – Canmore, AB

I had a wedding to plan in 7 months and had no idea where to start, and of course like many bride-to-be's browsing on Pinterest; everything looked like a good idea. My fiancé and I wanted a small and simple wedding that represented us and our love for the outdoors. Once we found the venue, I reached out to one of my long time and best friend's, Karla Matson, for help.

I’ve always appreciated and admired Karla’s artistic talents, and when I explained to Karla what we were envisioning for our wedding, she went with it, and although we planned the entire wedding while apart in different provinces, this was never an issue. Karla was very attentive and organized, which made our lives less stressful.

The weekend of the wedding, we arrived at the venue on the Friday, to which Karla had only seen pictures of, but she was ready to go. Not only was Karla confident in her abilities, but her attention to detail and knowing exactly what we wanted helped her not only give direction to friends and family that had come to help but also bring our vision to life. I never really got to see the final vision until the day of our wedding – and she nailed it. When my husband and I walked into our reception, I was in awe at what she created. It was perfect.

 Karla kept me on track from the moment we started planning the wedding until the big day and I truly do not know what I would’ve done without her help.  Not only was it a pleasure to have one of my best friends be such large part of our big day but she balanced our friendship and being professional so well. She’s exactly what I needed and wanted in wedding planner – she was not only calm under pressure and extremely organized, but she kept me calm and if there were any issues, I didn’t know about them!

My husband and I were very fortunate to also have Karla as our wedding photographer, and although our wedding photos can speak for themselves, I wanted to share our experience working with Karla. We had a blast going to different locations throughout the Banff/Canmore area where Karla was able to capture amazing shots, both of my husband and I, but also encompassing the beauty of being in the mountains.  

There was no awkwardness during the photo taking, she was open to some of our crazy photo ideas and gave many ideas in return, but for the most part we just acted natural. She was also able to capture those memorable candid moments throughout the entire day of friends and family, which made it even more special. We couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding photos turned out – I’m constantly going though them because they’re so amazing.
