Vespa - Bringing Italy to Calgary
Lottie and Nika’s styled shoot beautifully captures the essence of European elegance in the heart of Calgary, Alberta. Inspired by the romantic allure of Italian streets and the timeless charm of a classic Vespa, this shoot brings a touch of Italy to Calgary's urban landscape. Often, couples dream of eloping to distant European destinations, but we wanted to showcase the hidden gems that Calgary has to offer.
The backdrop of historic buildings with grand columns and intricate facades provided a striking contrast of modern and classic elements. The styled shoot took place in front of some of Calgary’s most iconic structures, including the beautifully restored Teatro restaurant, housed in a historic bank building. The grandeur of this architecture emphasized the sophisticated and elegant theme of the shoot, blending old and new to reflect Calgary’s evolving architectural landscape. This urban chic aesthetic rivals that of any European city.
A symbol of Italian culture and style, the Vespa was a central element of the shoot. It added an authentic touch of Italian charm, transforming Calgary’s streets into a romantic European escape. Images of Reece and Graydon riding the Vespa, holding hands, and sharing intimate moments against Calgary’s architectural beauty emphasize the romantic and adventurous spirit of the shoot.
This styled shoot is a testament to the fact that you don’t need to travel far to find breathtaking locations for your special day. Calgary offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern elegance, making it an ideal destination for couples looking to elope or celebrate their love in style. We hope this shoot inspires couples to consider the stunning possibilities right in their own city, serving as a reminder that with a bit of creativity and vision, you can bring the romance of Europe to the streets of Calgary.
