For our photographer we’ve selected Megan Narten of Red Tree Photography. We’re eager to work with Megan. It was clear sitting in the starbucks that she absolutely gets us and the passion we have for our wedding theme. We’re so happy to have her onboard and work with her! Look for engagement photos coming soon from our engagement shoot this summer!
Engagement
In December 2021, Michael schemed with his closest friends to go to Elk Island to take “Christmas Pictures”. Melissa was surprised when she turned around and Michael was down on one knee, asking her to marry him. After a few minutes of crying, Melissa said YES!
Their First Real Date
Mike took Melissa to the Telus World of Science for their first official date, where they learned about animal physiology at the Bodyworlds: Animals Inside Out exhibit. They finished their date by watching Legends of the North Sky in the Zeidler Dome, cuddled up on a bean-bag chair.
Where They Fell in Love
Melissa and Michael fell in love in the beginning of 2019 while watching SciFi movies and going for late night drives to Elk Island.
When they Met
They met online and chatted their way through Christmas of 2018 while Melissa was visiting family in BC. When she returned to Edmonton a coffee date seemed appropriate and is now a yearly date they celebrate in January.
Tammy Banting
For our officiant we chose Tammy Banting of Meaningful Ceremonies. When we met Tammy we immediately knew she was the officiant for us. Her excitement for our theme and quick humor lends itself well to our personalities and we are looking forward to working with her on our special day!
