Country Cornfield Wedding | Ponoka Stagecoach Saloon Wedding | Katie + Coleman

Posted in: Wedding

Katie and Coleman’s country cornfield wedding on their farm near Ponoka was so much fun and had so many moments full of emotion!

How they met:

Katie was given Coleman’s number, by a friend, for plumbing services. He came to fix her shower, and ended up staying for a few hours, a few beers, and a good visit!

Their Proposal Story:

Coleman proposed on Katie’s 30th birthday. He had all her closest friends, his family and hers come in from BC, and set up an ambush at Cole’s sister’s house. She had to (begrudgingly) open gifts in front of everyone. Gracie and Denim (Coleman’s kids) stood at the top of the stairs in the garage with a white, flat rectangle box, and said they had one more gift for her. She walked over to get it, and they flipped it up, and the bottom of the box in cursive writing read “Will you marry our dad”. He was down on one knee behind her, when she realized what was happening.

What moment stands out as the best from your wedding day?

Katie: I was absolutely jacked to hear Coleman’s vows. I was so proud of him for putting feelings down on paper, and going for it! I also enjoyed everything our families did for us at the reception. The entire day was too good to pick out the best moment, but those were two of my favs!

What went through your head when you saw your bride?

Coleman: Wow!

Ha! You gotta love that reaction! Katie looked amazing so I’m not surprised that was all Cole could think!!

Do you have any tips about planning a wedding to share with us?

  • Pick your bridal party wisely – those who care for you come through for you and eliminate a ton of stress!
  • Don’t sweat the small stuff.
  • Invest in your photographer/videographer to be able to have your very best memories for ever!
  • Remember, at the end of the day, it’s not the wedding that makes you, it’s the teammate you’ve chosen. Focus on what’s important and being with your person.
  • Enjoy every moment of your day together, because before you know it, it’s over!

These are all such great tips!!

You guys…I had tears running down my face, like almost everyone did, while witnessing this part of Katie and Coleman’s ceremony. Katie read her vows to Cole, but then she read some very special vows to Gracie and Denim, her step children. It was such a special part of the ceremony ❤️

But before that, have a look at Katie and Coleman’s reception details! I loved the beer koozies and how the centrepieces really showed their farm life!

This DIY cake stand was beautiful and made a great home for a wee cutting cake, cupcakes and the cutest sugar cookies from Jenny’s Sweetcheeks, who happens to be the groom’s sister!

The moments from the reception that really stood out for me as a photographer were K+C being serenaded by an Aunt, Coleman being presented with a buffalo plaid jacket and being officially welcomed into the Moore family, Katie’s mom and sister Stephanie singing a song about Katie and Coleman to the turn of Fishin’ in the Dark and giving The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band a run for their money…and lastly Gracie and Denim giving a speech followed by Gracie absolutely bringing the house down and bringing Katie to tears with a beautiful song she’d worked so hard on for them!!

Honest to goodness you guys…so many memories ❤️
