Vintage Red, White & Blue Styled Wedding Shoot

Share

Every year in Calgary, AB the Calgary Stampede is the main attraction from one side of the city to the next but what people don’t know is how much fun it is to also have a wedding during this very happy time. For y’all who don’t know too much about the Calgary Stampede, it always falls just after Canada Day and typically the 4th of July is right in the midst. Here’s our idea of a Calgary backyard wedding would honour both of the holidays and the stampede with a touch of vintage flair and local style.
This is Picnic Perfect.
