As a Calgary elopement photographer and Calgary wedding videographer we are big on two things. 1. Supporting local companies in Alberta 2. Having a wedding or elopement that is as unique as you!
How to have a unique wedding you might ask? Good question! First off, I strongly believe that choosing a photo & video team that you connect with is key, lucky for you we have a post with Tips on choosing a wedding photo and video team and secondly, having meaningful accents to your wedding or elopement that represent you and your partner! From florals, vow books or signs and more!
Welcome! First off, if you are here, I can already guess you are planning an elopement or wedding in or around the Calgary area. If we haven't met, I am Krystal an adventure elopement photographer, you can read more about me here. Some of you may know, if you've been here for a while or read Our surprise elopement, that I recently got hitched and to make your life easier I am sharing Calgary vendor information from my own elopement.
Local Businesses Calgary
This is not only a great way for you to support local businesses for your upcoming wedding, but these are some of the best of the best and I feel 100% confident in recommending them for your elopement!
Adventure Floral
Adventure Floral’s goal is to express a story of emotion through each design. Chelsea did a spectacular job with my bouquet and Mike’s boutonniere. Chels and I have become good friends over the last year or so working together (bonus: All my awesome brides get a discount with her) When I told her our plans to elope she was over the moon and true story, other then one photo I had sent her with the colors we were going for she designed the whole thing based on how well she knows me. <3 She truly out did herself and to boot they are all dried/faux flowers!

House of Beauty
At House of Beauty, Sam, does everything from hair, to makeup to lashes! She is an expert at “beautifying babes” for weddings, grads, photoshoots and more! I personally hardly wear any makeup so it was super important to me to feel natural and like myself. Sam made me feel all that and more! I felt so beautiful and comfortable on my wedding day. The hair and make up she did for me could not have been more perfect for one of the best days of my life. Added bonus that she's also a dear friend of mine!! <3

Taffeta and Tulle Bridal
If you have not found your perfect dress yet, stop what you are doing and email Marisza at Taffeta & Tulle right now!! haha Hands down, bar none the best experience I've ever had. I honestly was not looking forward to dress shopping portion of this adventure, unlike most people who have a parent or maid of honor.. I just had me, myself and I and even though I already had a really good idea of what I wanted it was still a bit nerve racking. However, from the moment I walked into Marisza's cute little boutique shop I knew I had just met another friend. She was warm, welcome and actually took time to get to know who I was! Which is everything I value in my own company! Needless to say, it was the most amazing experience and I think everyone needs to go see her, even if you don't find your perfect dress, you deserve to know what true customer service looks like! Best part though, Marisza has a vast selection of sizes and styles to choose from, there is something for just about everyone.
