I had such a blast with Lindsay and Jamie at their engagement session! Planning their session was so touch and go. The weather for the past couple of weeks back in December was averaging around -25, but luckily we had a warfront move in while they were in town! I can’t wait to capture their wedding at the Calgary Zoo this summer!
How did you and Jamie meet?
Jamie and I met at work. He showed up at our office in Ottawa as the new guy who drove all the way out east from Calgary. One day he had to use some software in the office next to mine and we started talking and I immediately knew we had to be friends. We “connected” outside of work on LinkedIn, which is weird and funny and not the normal use of that social media platform… After spending the summer getting to know each other as friends, we started dating and the rest is history!
What are you most looking forward to on your wedding day (aside from marrying Jamie)?
Being surrounded by so many amazing people from every little corner of our lives. I think it will be a little overwhelming too but it’s going to be special to have both of our families and our closest friends all be there at the same time, all to celebrate our special day. My family lives in Ontario so our families haven’t met yet and there won’t be many opportunities where they will all be together.
Tell us a little bit about your wedding!
We are getting married at the Calgary Zoo in August. The ceremony will take place in the Arbor Garden and the reception in the Enmax Conservatory – we chose this venue because we were looking for a place that was beautiful on its own and would require minimal decorating.
What’s been the funnest process of planning your wedding so far?
I think seeing what we can create when we work together. We are both creative but it’s not too often we get to collaborate in that capacity so it’s been fun. We left ourselves a lot of time to do everything so it hasn’t been stressful (yet) and it’s cool to see where our skill sets are complementary.
