Julena & Eric’s Outdoorsy Wedding in the Battle River Valley

After many photo sessions and one wedding with Julena’s family already, I was so honoured to join them again for another wedding as Julena was married.  I arrived at the family home to find everyone in the midst of make-up and hair preparations, small children playing in the living room and admiring their flower crowns, and so many happy familiar faces.  This family is known for their DIY touches and these were elegantly sprinkled throughout the day, from the beginning to the very end.

Before long, overlooking the Battle River valley at MSW Farms, Julena and Eric exchanged their vows. There was plenty of laughter as they recalled their first date being interrupted by a parks officer but these two enjoy the unexpected.  The atmosphere involved plenty of sunflowers and soft shades of blue with rustic details and an outdoor tented reception. The weather cooperated with a break from the rain we’d been having and instead gave us a clear, sunny day and plenty of warmth.
