The landscape around the Priddis / Bragg Creek area is just about perfect for a country wedding.  If you have ever seen an episode of Heartland on TV this is the area it’s filmed.  Lindsay and Ian wanted to have their wedding on the family property and that meant installing a large tent for the reception. Friends and family gathered for nights before to put up the tent and layout an “OSB” (aka particle board) floor.  It is a lot of work, so I’m told 🙂  The weather prior to their June wedding was very wet and on the day of the wedding the forecast was 100% for rain, it was just a matter of when and how much. We did their engagement session at Lake Louise in March.  There are a few photos from that session first then onto the wedding.

A fun group shot of the entire wedding and a tractor!
