calgary valley ridge golf course wedding: a modern twist on tradition

Munzie and Carter's August wedding was the perfect mix between modern and traditional, creating a day that felt timeless and uniquely theirs. The day began with a traditional Catholic Wedding ceremony at the beautiful St. Albert the Great Perish. The couple honoured cultural customs with parental blessings, the draping of the ceremonial veil and the wrapping of the cord symbolizing unity. Sponsors lit candles on either side of the couple, and then Munize and Carter joined to light a unity candle together, honouring the life ahead together. After the ceremony, Munzie and Carter, tok a fun, non-traditional turn and opted for creative wedding party photos and portraits downtown. We headed to Murietta's Bar & Grill downtown where they enjoyed cocktails and some fun bar flash photos. They kept the energy going with a dance party in the limo, setting a lively tone for the night ahead. Their reception at Valley Ridge Golf Course was everything they'd envisioned, starting with a high-energy grand entrance that flowed right into their first dance and cake cutting, letting them get the formalities out of the way so they could relax and enjoy the evening. Just before sunset, we snuck outside for a few golden hour shots before the party really got going. The traditional money dance was a fun, cultural touch that brought everyone to the dance floor, laughing and joining in. The whole room was on their feet, dancing, celebrating and making memories with the newlyweds.
