Being a part of Jina and Ryan’s Elopement in the Rockies was a pure delight. They are so in love, so thankful for what each of them bring to their relationship, and they are so respectful of one another that Callandra (owner of Cherry Tree Occasions) and I found our-self’s crying throughout the entire ceremony! I am really so happy they asked me to be alongside them– thank you and I can not wait for you to see all the rest of your images:)
This was by far one of the most precious things I have come across being a wedding photographer… Ryan’s love for Jina was without a doubt but to organize the words he would use was another! He wrote the key words he wanted to remember to say on the palm of his hand… so adorable! He was a little embarrassed that I noticed:)
Gina and Ryan wanted to incorporate the famous “Three Sisters” mountain in at last one photo before we continued to Banff and the Rimrock Hotel. I knew the perfect location and to our delight the sun leaked though the heavy clouds for a brief moment to give us heavenly photo’s… magical.
This is the view from the Rimrock’ Suite 700… I will do another post in the near future just on this room alone… it is seriously like a dream come true. I can only imagine to wake up, open my curtains and see such a vast towering view!!!
Because of the chilly weather we decided to do a photo-session in the Rimrock- it was so much fun. The Rimrock has these awesome doors and architecture, even panel lighting in some of the larger banquet rooms; so we took advantage of then as much as we could! The results were fun, fresh and very appropriate for a New Year’s Eve wedding:)
Jina Jackson Rockwell - WOW! Words cannot express the joy and satisfaction Ryan and I feel with Crista Lee Photography. There’s always a bit of anxiety when one has to make important decisions with limited input, but that angst quickly disappeared once we met her. Neither of us is especially comfortable in front of a camera, but very early on in our session she was able to put us at ease, such that we truly forgot anyone else was around. Not only was Crista able to capture nature’s splendor, but she also possesses a special gift to convey the emotion of our special day so that we are able to share it with family and friends. We highly recommend Crista Lee to anyone who values creativity with a personal touch.
Thank you!!!
Jina & Ryan
Bertha Aycock - I am about to cry, because you guys look so beautiful and happy!
Best of luck to you in the future.
