Meet The Team

the ladies behind rocky mountain bride

Hello Darling!

I believe that we are all adventurers, born with an innate sense to seek out the horizon and pursue the beautiful unknown. Life gives you seasons that you learn and adjust from always leading you to the next discovery. Along the way you find things that set your soul on fire and inspire you beyond what you thought possible. For RMB, we always knew Canada was on the horizon for us. We wanted to create something bold and beautiful for British Columbia and Alberta, and we are beyond thrilled to be able to see this gorgeous magazine come to life.

Every page is curated with thought and wanderlust spirit, thanks to two fearless adventurers who pursued the bold beauty of Canada with full hearts and unwavering souls. These pages are a testament to their love of this region, the people met and places discovered along the way. Celynn and Mackenzie, this stunning magazine is a work of art for all the amazing vendors and brides of Western Canada! Through their passion and dedication, RMB’s soul caught fire for British Columbia and Alberta. We cannot wait for you to explore every page! From the city streets of Vancouver to the brilliant beauty of Emerald Lake, and all the peaks and places in-between, we wanted to give you snapshots of all the many places you can say “I Do” and the amazing creatives who can make your dreams come true!

We hope each page fills you with encouragement and excitement for your wedding. Be inspired to adventure to the Canadian Rockies and find a home for your love story here nestled among the lakes and peaks. Thank you for letting RMB be a part of your wedding planning!

rmb celynn bowman | social media & alberta director It’s the Chinook arch in the sky carrying warm winter winds. The crystal blue waters beyond your wildest imagination.

The mountains emerging like giants along the highway. These are the things that are, to me, so distinctly home. As the resident Canadian at RMB, I feel profoundly honored to represent the Canadian Rockies and the talented creatives that make Canadian weddings pure magic. Now living in Denver with my husband and fur-baby, RMB has kept my heart close to home. Traveling to Alberta has been the sweetest blessing and something I am extremely thankful for. I’m so proud to celebrate the Canadian Rockies and all of the creatives that call Alberta and British Columbia home in this inaugural publication. This magazine is for you, Canada!

mackenzie stevens | regional sales manager | mt & bc director Growing up in Montana, the Rocky Mountains have always been my grounding force, my home. Exploring the Canadian Rockies and the inspiration that lies within for our inaugural magazine dedicated to Alberta + British Columbia has been amazing. Canada, you are one of a kind — from the calmness of the Okanagan to the bustle of downtown Vancouver and the breathtaking views in Banff, there is so much beauty here and being able to share this with all of you is truly the best part. It has been incredibly inspiring to be in the company of such talented and passionate people throughout the creation of this magazine. With this, I encourage you to look closely through these upcoming pages as so much love was put into each and every one.

Originally from the Heart of America, Kansas City, I never knew I could feel so at home here in the Rockies. But, before I knew it, I was saying “I do” right where many of you will be - in the Rocky Mountains. I encourage you to flip through these pages with intention. Let the images and the creators within speak to your heart and vision.

Sarfry + Wilson lake louise

justine milton photography

Sarfry and Wilson crossed paths nearly seven years ago in a hair salon in Calgary. You see, Sarfry was new to the city and working part time when Wilson came in for a cut. Sarfry caught his eye immediately, and he couldn’t resist reaching out.

The two met for coffee and started dating a month later! In August 2017, Sarfry and Wilson took a late summer getaway to Maui, just the two of them. Upon their arrival, Wilson surprised Sarfry with a helicopter ride around the island. Midway through the tour, the crew landed to take a break and check out the local sites. Just then Wilson grabbed Sarfry’s hand and led her to shore where he got down on one knee and pulled a ring from his pocket. Completely shocked, Sarfry regained composure before saying, “Yes!” They planned an elegant and symbolic wedding at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for August 19th.

tea, please!

Sarfry, Wilson and their families performed a Chinese tea ceremony the morning of their wedding day. This traditional event symbolizes a family reunion. Overlooking the beautiful Lake Louise, their two families became one and the soon-to-be newlyweds were gifted a red pocket gift. It was so special for Sarfry and Wilson to plan the wedding of their dreams in a place that meant so much to them, while incorporating traditional ceremonies with their families.

dream in design “My wedding planner, Kay from Social + Co. Events, was a saving grace. I had a strong vision in my head for our wedding day, and she truly helped me bring the details and experience to life. With the ceremony location being so majestic on its own, Kay and I put our focus on turning the reception space into a wow factor. Our guests felt transported under a wave of flowing greenery. The design was truly the perfect balance between organic, modern and a little vintage.”

darlin’ stand by me

“My father and I walked down the aisle to ‘Stand By Me’ by Ben E. King. The moment we came around the corner and walked outside, it was like everything played back to me in slow motion. The mountaintops swayed as our song rang over the lake and through the trees. I felt so present in that moment and will cherish that special feeling forever.”

Jane + Chris tofino

Jane and Chris met through mutual friends while attending Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Being in their own separate relationships, they got to know each other well as friends. After University, the two lost touch for a few years. Yet, they eventually reconnected over a lunch date on Granville Island. Chris stayed persistent with Jane, and the chemistry they always had flourished again. They found love. Nine years later, the couple planned a getaway for two to Tofino. Jane and Chris arrived at Long Beach just as the sun was setting that evening. Happy hearted, Jane immediately pulled out her camera and started snapping photos. Chris climbed a nearby boulder and begged Jane to join him to soak in the views. As she reached the top, Chris got down on one knee, pulled out a sparkling ring and asked Jane to spend the rest of her life with him. Completely shocked, she said, “Yes!� They planned an intimate and moody celebration at their favorite place for September 22nd.

a coastal crush When it came to Tofino, it was love at first sight. After their first trip, Jane and Chris just knew they were meant to come back to begin the rest of their lives together as husband and wife. Tofino is this unexplainably sacred place where the world seems to slow down. They wanted nothing more than to share the magic of the island with their closest friends and family on their wedding day.

from design to “i do!�

The bride designed the signage and paper elements. Jane created modern and simple pieces that not only brought personality to the event, but represented their relationship. At times the process was stressful, but she wouldn’t have had it any other way.

love like the ocean “When we arrived it was pouring rain. Not sprinkling.. pouring rain! I made the decision to cancel the rehearsal as I didn’t want everyone to get soaked. At first I started panicking. Yet, Chris, being that calm, constant force in my life, reminded me that there was nothing we could do and to trust in God. Sure enough, the sun came out the next morning.

Our experience was like the ocean - uncontrollable rage followed by a wave of peace. In many ways, our wedding day restored my faith.”

ghost chair goals “I was crazy about the ghost chairs. Although they were such a small detail, they complimented the setting perfectly.

Minimal and effortless, it was decor pieces like the ghost chairs that let the natural beauty of the coastal landscape shine.”

Caitlin + Michael c a l g a ry

jamie anholt

Eight years ago, Caitlin and Michael first met at Hudsons, a local pub in Calgary. After one of Michael’s friends approached the girls, Michael just knew that he couldn’t leave without Caitlin’s number. Chemistry sparked immediately and the two texted back and forth for nearly a month. Finally, they agreed to a first date over Starbucks. Coffee led to dinner, and dinner eventually led to a movie night and a kiss! Caitlin and Michael fell in love shortly after. The couple dated for five years before making things official. On a summer day in Vermeer, BC, Michael got down on one knee, on the deck of Caitlin’s family cabin, and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. Breathless, she said, “Yes!” They planned a whimsical day in their hometown of Calgary for June 23rd.

garden

& grace

Caitlin envisioned a romantic, garden theme for their wedding day. She incorporated greenery and endless floral to bring a touch of nature to The Lakehouse’s cozy interiors. Caitlin and Michael kept their love in focus by keeping the decor simple and natural.

a ballgown bride After the engagement, Caitlin and her mom took a flight out to Vancouver where a lot of Caitlin and Michael’s wedding inspiration came from. The ladies used the getaway as the perfect excuse to go dress shopping. Upon their arrival, they made an appointment at Blush Bridal with their closest friends. That day, Caitlin tried on three dresses at the shop before finding “the one” - a stunning Hayley Paige off-white, ball gown. Caitlin felt like a princess and knew the dress was the wow factor she had been looking for!

“i must have flowers, always and always”

“All I needed was flowers, and lots of them. Working with the team at Fall for Florals was a total dream. They draped flowing greenery down each wooden table and even added peonies to all of our arrangements - a special nod to the peony garden my mom kept growing up.”

quiet moments together “Michael and I snuck away from our reception to take sunset photos together. As we held each other on the deck, we looked inside only to see our entire party in action. That moment was so surreal. I am so grateful that we were able to step back and reflect on such a monumental day before joining our loved ones again.”

advice for rocky mountain couples “Set aside time for just the two of you to be present.”

Rheanna + Justin victoria

Rheanna met Justin through her sister who played on a softball team with him one summer. The two met briefly, yet not for nearly long enough. They waited patiently for their next run in with one another. Finally, Rheanna was invited to a teammate’s birthday party where Justin just so happened to be the DJ. They hit it off and came together easily! Three years later, the couple made a trip out to Toronto to visit friends. Upon their arrival they made plans to stop at a brewery just across from the beautiful Trinity Bellwoods Park. As Rheanna and Justin walked hand-in-hand along the winding path, Justin all the sudden lead her under a beckinging group of trees. Just then, he got down on one knee and asked Rheanna to spend the rest of her life with him. Completely blindsided, she said, “Yes!” Better yet, Justin hired a photographer to capture the moment! They planned an organic and intimate celebration at Bilston Creek Farm for August 4th.

where the forest meets the sea Off the coast of Victoria, where the forest meets the sea, lies Bilston Creek Farm - the historic and pristine lavender farm that played host to Rheanna and Justin’s wedding day. Family friends to the owners, they were the first couple to be married on property. Rheanna envisioned a simple and natural celebration that not only complemented the location, but their love story. They incorporated bright floral, seasonal cuisine and effortless details to bring their vision to life.

love in bloom Getting married near Rheanna’s hometown, the couple’s day was rich with community. A family friend’s mother grew dahlias for the reception tables, and Rheanna’s dad even potted a few flowers for the ceremony! Each piece that came together was thoughtfully placed and sourced from love.

we can’t be beat

“Justin and I’s first dance as newlyweds was to “We Can’t Be Beat” by The Walkman.

It’s not popular or at all a trending wedding song. In fact, our DJ had to search it out to play it. However, from the beginning, it has just always been our song. We went with it, because, in the end, it’s our wedding and our rules. Justin even surprised me with dance lessons before to make the moment feel that much more like us.”
