JEREMY LEAKVOLD
MARRIED ON DECEMBER 29, 2016J
amie Duncan and Jeremy Leakvold love
challenging backcountry hikes in the Alberta
Rockies, and have never really let things
like snow or distance slow them down. So
naturally, they knew their shared love for
the outdoors would be an essential aspect of their
wedding day. Save making their guests snowshoe up
a mountain, the best alternative was the winter won-
derland that is Azuridge Estate Hotel in December.
“We both agreed that we wanted a winter moun-
tain wedding to reflect the places that we liked to
spend our leisure time,” says Leakvold.
It wasn’t just the wedding venue that they wanted
to represent their relationship. The day also included
a number of finer touches that are uniquely emblem-
atic of their relationship. All the details, from the
wood-burned ornaments they created to the plaid
scarves they gifted their guests to wear throughout
the day, are significant mementos they are happy
they took the time to include.
The entire day reflected Duncan and Leakvold,
with twinkling lights, red-berry bouquets toted by
the maids of honour and their personal crest of two
mountain peaks sprinkled throughout the decora-
tions. “Those are little markers of the things we love
about each other that we can remember, hold onto
and cherish,” Leakvold says.ALL THE DETAILS,
