We’ve all been to weddings where the day felt like a never-ending whirlwind of must-do activities and events. But this couple decided to forgo the chaos, and instead, opted for a minimalist modern wedding with an intimate guest list. Newlyweds Tykara and Matthew chose The Westley Hotel in Calgary, to host their special day with purposeful details like a group champagne toast, downtown portraits, and a father-daughter dance prior to the ceremony. They decided to enjoy the simple beauty of their wedding with all its special moments, which were captured by Christy D Swanberg Photography.

From the Photographer:

Black and white portraits will always have a timeless elegance about them. We love when photographers and couples opt to include a few of these in their wedding gallery!

Every couple deserves time to enjoy their day and take in the details. We highly recommend taking a moment to yourselves to sip on your favourite beverage, and enjoy your time together (just the two of you!) before guests arrive.
