The view from the marriage stage. Can’t you see guests seated in this fully landscaped amphitheatre?
I’m firmly rooted in the prairies, but my heart soars when I’m in the Rockies. I’m so fortunate to be an Alberta Wedding Photographer who can revel in both settings with a couple hour drive. Now, I can visit the mountains, smack dab in the middle of the prairies with a 5 minute drive.
The marriage pergola is also a perfect spot for beautifully styled images.
Just a short drive outside of Edmonton is one of the top wedding venues in the area. Obsidian Ridge is located in a peaceful country setting that brings the majesty of the Rockies to the endless blue skies of the prairies. I’m thrilled to be one of the premiere preferred photographers for this magnificent venue.
The view your guests will have of you, nestled in the heart of this stone garden. If feels just like you’re in the Rockies.
Rest by the fountains just before you walk down the aisle to your beloved.
Jodi and Layson, the owners and designers, created Obsidian Ridge with the core values of peace, spirituality and community. There is an ethereal feeling of tranquility that descends on one when they enter, I don’t know a better way to describe it. It truly has to be seen to be believed.
Amphitheatre Marriage Space
The feature space of the venue is the amphitheatre. This space is crafted of mountain rock, hauled in from Revelstoke British Columbia. Layson is a landscape expert and his love for the space, as well as the quality of his craft and creativity are evident.
The entrance into the amphitheatre, surround by fountains, infinity pool and looking through the moon gate.
Couples looking for a truly unique and private space that feels like it’s nestled in the heart of Jasper or Banff will enjoy the completely private and quiet venue of Obsidian Ridge.
The exquisite view from the top of the moon entrance.
Full Service Facility
Obsidian Ridge is a full service facility, with the ability to start and end your perfect wedding day there. The venue has some cool and fun renovated trailers for hair and makeup, dressing and then camping overnight after dancing under the stars. Believe me, the stars at night in the country is a sight
This is what you’ll see when you see your betrothed for the first time. Beautiful!
The venue features a large, transparent canopy, all the better to enjoy the view while celebrating with those you love by your side. The tent will be exquisitely appointed with elegantly appointed decor to put the perfect finish to your day.
The butterfly symbolizes soul, transformation, endurance, change, hope, and life. When Layson showed me the butterfly, he told me that the design wasn’t intentional, it manifested itself in the layout of the rock. He remarked that for him and Jodi, Obsidian Ridge is a monument, a testament to life, love and endurance. They’ve created an oasis to share its peace and beauty and to preserve it for generations to come.
Imagine the symbolism of taking the first steps down the aisle right here, in this very spot.
Intimate Firepit
Imagine walking up this ridge, only to descend on the other side to a sunken space, mimicking the amphitheatre, but a cozy warm space with a firepit to snuggle, connect and enjoy
The view into the firepit, sunken and cozy.
Romantic Walking Paths
Overhead soft lights, leaves crunching underfoot, the sound of the wind and your quiet conversation. The amazing walking path at Obsidian is a perfect spot for stolen kisses and to grab your photographer for some gorgeous images.
Imagine a slow walk, hand in hand, celebrating your nuptials while making memories.
