Edmonton Pioneers Cabin Wedding [Francine & Clayton]

Francine and Clayton are such an amazing couple for how easily they rolled with the changes thrown their way! Their wedding was originally planned for Castle Mountain Resort, but once the event size and distancing rules started being announced, they decided to scale back and keep their wedding small and local to them. That meant a roadtrip was in store for us! Their new plan of an Edmonton Pioneers Cabin wedding turned out beautifully and they were able to keep all of the important parts of their day.
It was so cute seeing how nervous each of them were while they got ready, but that soon melted away once they saw each other at their ceremony. We explored along the edge of Nellie McClung Park for their portraits and didn’t have to go far to get the Edmonton cityscape in the background.
With the size of the venue, they were able to have the fun reception they had always wanted with lots of space for dancing.
Congratulations, Francine and Clayton!

This groomsman had a matching mask/bandana set with his dog :) (His cat wasn’t as excited about the visitors that day.)

Their ceremony was performed by Francine’s brother.















Their sweet old dog Harley was picked up in time for portraits and had a special bandana made from the same fabric as the bridesmaid dresses.





We were so lucky that this incredible alley was next to the Pioneer’s Cabin!





Francine and Clayton had yard games for their guests. Being very competitive themselves, they needed a round!


I was bound to have at least one of these photos this year! Francine and Clayton had special wedding party masks made, and even though there weren’t many times they were required to wear them, it made for very 2020-memorable photos!










Francine and Clayton opened their reception with a choreographed first dance, after Francine quickly changed into a special dress just for the piece.
