Kyle & Arieke | A Lethbridge Wedding
I met Arieke a few years ago when she was a bridesmaid for her friend Gerda, and I was so happy to hear that she was engaged herself! Her and Kyle planned a gorgeous wedding and made sure we had lots of time for photos with them and their friends. Jan and I had so much fun with them all day and it went by so quickly! I was warned that Kyle doesn’t like having his picture taken, but I don’t believe them after how happy he always was around Arieke :) Those smiles took no coaxing at all!
Later I was so happy to be able to steal them away from their reception for a while for some beautiful portraits at dusk :)
Ceremony: Netherlands Reformed Church
Limo: California Dream Limo
Flowers: The Blooming Willow
Reception: Gem of the West
Kyle’s dad brought along this gorgeous truck for photos.
There were a lot of birds around that day :) (Photo by Jan Tajcnar)
Jan took this behind-the-scenes photo of how we got the bouquet to balance just right. The rest of us were too tall to do this, so she stepped up to her maid of honour duties! ;)
We tried for a serious photo of the girls, but the guys behind me were NOT helping much! :)
Their reception was held at the Gem of the West in Coaldale.
When the grandparents were introduced, they were told to give their spouses a kiss. The best man’s introduction needed to keep up the trend!
I love this last photo… I didn’t set up any lights, and just saw the opportunity coming and took it (while chasing them as they walked back to their reception).
Thank you so much for the beautiful photos Tanya! We are very happy with them, you captured our special day exactly as we wanted, we will enjoy our awesome pictures always, and you were wonderful to be with on our wedding day!! Thanks again, you are truly the best of the best!
