Winter Solstice

The time of year when the sun is lowest on the horizon and we wonder if spring will ever come again. December 21st, the winter solstice, low sun, long shadows, short days. And long nights.

Enjoy your evening.

Winter Wedding

Now it’s starting to feel like winter; it’s well below zero and has been for a few days now, the air is crisp, my toes are cold, and everything is covered in hore frost. The chilly weather has me thinking warm thoughts about a winter wedding.

Real Wedding ::: Lindsay + Josh

Two Calgarians, Lindsay Olson and Josh Woitas, were married in Banff on the 3rd of November in a winter wonderland dreamed up and produced by the vastly talented team at Table Talk.

The princess bride wore three different gowns, the groom two tuxedos, there were 800 guests, a 24-foot bar made of ice, nine tiers made up the cake, and 15,000 thousand Swarovski crystals. It even snowed on the first dance.
