Rustic Autumn Wedding with a Fairytale Twist

From the Creative Team:

Meagan and Alex’s rustic autumn wedding at Diamond in the Rough was nothing short of a real-life fairytale. Set against the backdrop of golden fall colours just outside Calgary, their day was the perfect blend of romance, rustic charm, and heartfelt moments—every detail beautifully aligned with who they are as a couple.

A Cozy Morning

The day began with a warm, heartfelt energy. Surrounded by close family, breathtaking autumn scenery, and their beloved dogs, Meagan and Alex enjoyed a relaxed, love-filled morning. Their pups even joined in for photos—adding a playful, personal touch to the start of the day.

A Princess Moment Come to Life

Meagan had always dreamed of being a princess on her wedding day, and she brought that dream to life with a show-stopping entrance in a horse-drawn carriage. As she arrived at the ceremony, it truly felt like time stood still. It was magical—storybook-worthy—and brought more than a few tears to everyone’s eyes.

A Blend of Rustic and Romance

The decor and natural surroundings were in perfect harmony. Rich fall hues and carefully curated details brought warmth and elegance to the venue, while still keeping things relaxed and inviting. The setting felt both timeless and deeply personal, just like Meagan and Alex.

Golden Hour Magic

As the sun began to set, we were gifted with the most ethereal golden hour. While capturing portraits in the fields, a donkey wandered into the scene—unplanned, yet somehow perfect. It was one of those surreal, serendipitous moments that made the day feel sprinkled with a little extra magic.

Intimate Moments at the Cabin

Later, as the energy of the evening buzzed with laughter and celebration, we snuck away to the nearby cabin for some quiet, intimate portraits. It was a chance for Meagan and Alex to take a breath and soak in the significance of the day. Surrounded by twinkle lights, soft laughter from their wedding party just outside, and the comfort of each other, the result was a series of romantic, connected images that truly captured their love.

From start to finish, Meagan and Alex’s wedding was a celebration of authenticity, joy, and the power of making your day truly your own. It was whimsical without being fussy, elegant without being overly polished—a perfect reflection of two people who are deeply in love, down-to-earth, and not afraid to lean into what makes their love story uniquely theirs.
