Words by Maureen Young
Jenny + Maury are two fish who are no longer out there. After meeting via Plenty of Fish, they had an instant connection and one of those Hollywood romcom coffees at Tim Horton’s. From a nail gripping car journey over 3 blocks to the ‘save me’ call, it was like something out of a movie, complete with pictueresque moonlight proposal.
In a bit of a hiring circle, Maury, who Anton hired in his previous role at Enbridge, hired us to capture his wedding day. Given that Maury’s international experience first set him apart, we took the couple to Jasper and away from the demands of careers and an MBA. We love it when we get to introduce a couple to a new experience!
Jasper may sound like an idle stroll, but after a weekend with us Jenny + Maury were more than happy to relax in a hot tub! They handled the physical demands beautifully and we are well impressed Jenny managed all her outfit changes whilst Maury was driving the car!
The ducks at Jasper Park Lodge brought a smile to Maury’s face as ‘duck’ was both the nickname given and ‘not it’ phrase shouted when the room started to smell a bit funny. The emerald water amazed Jenny who, as a Jasper Park Lodge virgin, hadn’t seen water so clear and such a colour before.
The hike up to the glaciers and ice caves didn’t stop Jenny + Maury from looking gorgeous at the top. The crystal blue water drew admiration from the couple who, even after Mexico, hadn’t seen water so clear before. From mountain top we opted to chase the rainbow and managed to do it without skittles ;) The rain looked like it was going to ruin the shoot but instead left a fresh canvas for this love story. The vistas of blue sky and white cloud reminded us of the plains in The Lion King.
After hiking, trekking and braving the elements we all tucked into pizza and lasagna at local restaurant L&W – an Infused restaurant tip!
Jenny + Maury, thank for you a wonderful time. We hope you guys really enjoyed the trip and glad you got some well deserved R and R as well :)Â Can’t wait to shoot your 2012 wedding!
Much love,
A+R
