Grazer's Restauraunt | Calgary's Zoo Top Intimate Venue

We’ve loved getting to know Chris and Christelle over the past year, and capturing their wedding journey was a true joy. They planned a beautiful celebration—starting with a heartfelt ceremony in Mauves with Christelle’s family, followed by an intimate wedding at the Calgary Zoo with their closest friends.

Just before the big day, they shared some exciting news—they’re expecting a baby this October! Even more special, they revealed the baby’s gender during the reception, making it a first for us to photograph and an unforgettable moment for everyone there.

Their day began with a relaxed backyard ceremony at a close friend’s home, just steps from their own. It was a warm, personal setting that even included their cats in the fun. Avery, one of their beloved kitties, made a surprise appearance during the first look—just in time to steal the spotlight.

Afterward, we headed to the Calgary Zoo, one of our favorite spots for wedding photography. The lush gardens made for a peaceful and stunning backdrop. Their reception at Grazer’s Restaurant was the perfect blend of cozy and elegant, with natural light, open space, and a warm, intimate vibe.

Chris and Christelle’s wedding was filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments. We’re so happy for them as they begin this next chapter—married life and soon-to-be parenthood. Congratulations, you two!
