Stephanie & Salim Wedding - The Fort Garry Hotel
As a Winnipeg wedding photographer, I had the privilege of documenting Stephanie and Salim’s exquisite three-day wedding celebration, culminating in a grand finale at the iconic Fort Garry Hotel. The final day of their festivities was nothing short of spectacular, with a celebration that beautifully blended tradition, elegance, and personal touches.
The Fort Garry Hotel’s grand ballroom set the stage for an unforgettable evening filled with heartfelt speeches, a sumptuous dinner, and lively dancing. The elegance of the ballroom provided the perfect backdrop for the culmination of Stephanie and Salim’s wedding celebrations, making it a night to remember for all their family and friends.
Before the evening festivities began, we spent some quality time with the couple and their bridal party at Stephen Juba Park. The picturesque park, with its stunning views along Waterfront Drive, offered a serene setting for capturing group photos. The natural beauty of the park contrasted beautifully with the grandeur of the Fort Garry Hotel, providing a perfect balance of elegance and nature.
Stephanie and Salim’s attire was a highlight of their celebration. All their outfits were shipped in from Pakistan, adding a touch of international flair and cultural significance to their wedding day. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of their outfits were truly stunning, and they looked every bit the part of a fairytale couple.
After our time at the park, we returned to the Fort Garry Hotel to capture some unique off-camera flash photos. The interior of the hotel, with its historic charm and opulent details, offered a range of creative possibilities. We experimented with double exposures to create some dramatic and artistic shots, highlighting the couple’s connection in a truly memorable way.
Family photos were taken in front of the ballroom stage, capturing the essence of the day’s celebrations and the joy of having loved ones gathered together. The elegance of the Fort Garry’s interior provided a fitting backdrop for these important moments.
As the night drew near, we took Stephanie and Salim to the Fort Garry’s balcony for some breathtaking night photos. Overlooking downtown Winnipeg, the balcony offered stunning views and a perfect opportunity to capture the city lights twinkling below. The night photos were a beautiful conclusion to their wedding day, capturing the romance and grandeur of their celebration in a stunning setting.
Stephanie and Salim’s wedding at the Fort Garry Hotel was a celebration of love, elegance, and cultural richness. As their Winnipeg wedding photographer, I was honored to be a part of their special day and to capture the memories of their incredible three-day celebration. The Fort Garry Hotel provided a spectacular setting for their final day of festivities, creating a perfect backdrop for the closing chapter of their wedding story.
