Best Wedding Photographers in Calgary - photographing weddings in Calgary during the Stampede
Top
wedding photographers in Calgary understand why couples might want to
get married during the Calgary Stampede. It’s called “The Greatest
Outdoor Show on Earth” for a reason and couples who are having lots of
family and friends coming to town for their wedding want to show off all
that their home city has to offer. Coming into town for a wedding and
then spending the following week enjoying Stampede and exploring the
nearby National Parks makes for an amazing holiday for guests. Flying
to a different city can be really expensive for some guests, especially
if paying for a long flight, and couples sometimes feel a bit guilty
about this. Making sure guests have other options after the wedding to
make the most of their flight expense can mean a lot to couples. There
are some pros and cons to having a wedding in Calgary during the
Stampede.

The Cons:
Even high-end wedding photographers in Calgary
who are used to working with couples with large budgets can tell you
that it gets really expensive to plan a wedding during the Stampede.
Most restaurants know that they will be able to book a corporate event
or host a large party that will generate more income than a wedding. So
if you are lucky enough to find a venue you can expect to pay a
premium, especially if you want to be in the downtown core.

While
expense might be a deal breaker the bigger issue may be how busy it is
during the first few weeks of July. Literally thousands of people come
into Calgary for the Stampede. Hotels are hard to come by and
restaurants are busy. The best wedding photographers in Calgary have
their favourite locations and areas to use in the city and sometimes
these are occupied by street events or just to busy to use. In
addition, parking will be difficult, especially if you have a large
wedding party.

The Pros:
The
Calgary Stampede runs for 10 days at the start of July. There are some
other great times of the year to get married in Calgary but the city is
often looking its best at this time of the year. Weather is also a
variable in Caglary, but July is usually when the rain stops the the
weather warms up. Top wedding photographers in Calgary know that weather plays a big role in how the wedding day runs.

The
city is alive and full of excitement during the Stampede. Stampede
offers world class rodeo events, exhibition grounds, fair, food, and
popular musicians.
