Calgary Wedding Photography at Prickett Richard
Calgary wedding photography at Prickett Richard has never looked more cinematic and editorial than Michelle and Cenk’s unforgettable celebration. Their wedding was nothing short of spectacular, set against the effortlessly cool backdrop of Prickett Richard in Calgary. From moody hotel room preparations to a rain-kissed first look and an evening filled with laughter, candids, and a vibrant dance floor, their wedding perfectly captured the essence of editorial and cinematic storytelling. Every moment felt like a scene from an iconic Hollywood feature, blending modern elegance with an effortlessly stylish atmosphere.
A Love Story Written in the Stars
Like many modern couples, Michelle and Cenk’s love story began on a dating app, where Michelle nearly missed her chance to message Cenk before their match expired. That last-minute message led to a connection that flourished into a beautiful romance. When it came time to propose, Cenk orchestrated a stunning moment by the ocean in Seattle, where he and Michelle shared a love for both the mountains and the sea. A hidden photographer (his brother) captured the heartfelt moment as a butterfly followed them along the path—a small, magical detail that made the proposal even more special.
A Rainy-Day First Look with a Cinematic Touch
The day began at the Le Germaine Hotel Calgary, where Michelle and her bridal party embraced a moody and sophisticated getting-ready atmosphere. Michelle’s attention to detail was impeccable—she stepped into the most stunning gown by Meshki, paired with timeless Prada heels that added a touch of high fashion to her bridal look. The entire morning had the energy of a behind-the-scenes Vogue photoshoot, filled with laughter, anticipation, and the finishing touches of her bridal beauty.
Meanwhile, Cenk and his groomsmen gathered at his parents’ home, surrounded by laughter and excitement. The home was filled with warmth and joy, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.
Although Calgary’s skies opened up with rain, Michelle and Cenk’s first look turned into an unforgettable scene straight out of a classic film. Under clear umbrellas, they shared a private, emotion-filled moment in the backyard of Cenk’s family home—while their loved ones secretly peeked from the windows. With heaters and a cozy tent set up, their ceremony remained warm and intimate despite the drizzle.
