Star Creek Falls Wedding Photos in the Crowsnest Pass [Tara & Marisa]
Marisa and Tara got engaged while on a mountain climb (while Marisa was injured, no less!) and make frequent trips to go explore the mountains with their three dogs. They combined their love of outdoor adventures with Tara’s hometown to have an intimate mountain themed wedding. The couple wanted to do Star Creek Falls wedding photos prior to their ceremony, so we met up with them in Coleman for a mini hiking adventure.
Tara has tons of experience walking out onto ice rinks in heels after hockey games, so a little hike to Star Creek Falls with Marisa was pretty easy in comparison. Yes, she wore her heels the whole way, even over logs and wet rocks! We were thrilled that they were up for going all the way to the base of Star Creek Falls, which is incredible for photos.
After portraits, we journeyed to the other end of the Crowsnest Pass. Their ceremony was held outdoors at Tara’s parents’ place where we were joined by their friends and family. This was such a fun event! There were so many happy tears during their personal vows, and once the reception started, everyone there could not stop smiling. Tara and Marisa have such an amazing relationship, and everyone near to them shares in that joy.
Congratulations, Tara & Marisa!

We made sure to get a family photo with their three dogs before hiking to the falls.
Since Marisa and Tara love going on outdoor adventures together, we had to get a family photo with their Airstream trailer.
Tara and Marisa walked to their ceremony together with the dogs.
Although they didn’t have a wedding party, they had each of their brothers witness the marriage certificate.
They collected a wood chip from each guest to start a fire together as part of a unity ceremony.
The only problem was that the wood chips would not light! Tara’s dad came to the rescue with something a little more heavy duty.
After their ceremony and a group photo with all the guests, Marisa and Tara served everyone champagne for a toast in place of having a receiving line.
