What is the best time of year for weddings in Alberta?

The million-dollar question but really it comes down to the look you want from your wedding day. Do you want summer or winter? Please remember the weather patterns. January and February are the coldest time of year, and snowfall is very common, making it more difficult to travel to some remote locations. The summer can be very range from mild to 30 deg temperates.

There are bears and cougars, but I am used to shooting in these areas and you shouldn’t worry as long as you follow safety guidelines!
