Burgundy and Denim Country Wedding in Bashaw, AB

Brittaney and Richard’s burgundy and denim wedding in Bashaw started out with cold rainy morning that led to changing their ceremony site from outdoors to inside the Bashaw Ag Society Hall. They took the day in stride and we created some amazing photos to go with the great memories from their wedding day!! This was the second Fankhanel wedding for me as well! I met Richard while photographing his brother Craig’s wedding in Bashaw back in 2017! You can take a trip down memory lane and see that wedding here!

TELL US HOW YOU MET!

We met online. We talked and messaged for about a month before we met for our first date at Boston Pizza in Stettler.

I WANNA KNOW YOUR PROPOSAL DETAILS! WHO DID THE ASKING AND HOW!?

I came home from work on an ordinary Thursday night, I set down my purse and took off my jacket and I turned around and Richard was standing there with a ring and a huge smile on his face. He asked and I said yes!

THIS ONE’S FOR THE BRIDE: WHICH MOMENT STANDS OUT AS THE BEST FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY?

The day flew by but some of the moments that stood out were getting ready with my best girls in the morning, seeing Richard as I walked down the aisle and getting to spend the day with the people that mean the most to us.

NOW THE GROOM’S TURN: TELL US WHAT YOU THOUGHT WHEN YOU SAW YOUR BRIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!

I hope I don’t cry haha!  This answer made me laugh because Richard is truly a man of few words and this is so him 😂

CAN YOU SHARE ANY TIPS ABOUT PLANNING A WEDDING TO FUTURE COUPLES GETTING MARRIED?

Don’t sweat the little things. You can’t control the weather but trust that it will all work out and your photographer will capture some amazing photos!

I love Brittaney’s advice! The weather is seriously the ONLY thing you’re not in control of on your wedding day! We had the challenge of freezing temperatures AND rain and wind! By utilizing an empty building on the AG grounds we were able to get all of our family photos quickly and close to the ceremony site so no one could run away 👌

Brittaney’s wonderful bridesmaid Rhianna arranged for the wedding party to be able to use an old barn for some photos too and the photos were great and everyone stayed dry!

Don’t take my word for it though, take a look for yourself!
