Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise - Alberta Canada

Trip of a lifetime for an event of a lifetime. One of the many places I have always wanted to visit is Lake Louise in Alberta Canada. Ever since the very first time I heard of it I wanted to go. It was always on the radar but for "next year". When my daughter announced her wedding was to take place at this magical place, I realized I didn't even have an up-to-date passport.

I quickly reapplied and got it a few weeks before the trip. Flying across half the world away from South Florida, I arrived at the hotel I was staying (not this one unfortunately) in total darkness. It was not until the early morning, right after breakfast I was greeted with this view.

Even though it was only October, there was a light snowfall. That did not stop me from a 2 mile walk right up to the glacier at the far side of the lake.

I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding setting. If you look close you can even see the occasional snowflake in this photo. I have never in my life been to a more beautiful place and this day will probably always be my fondest memory.

I also have a nice little video from the wedding venue. I've been asked several times if it's CGI. Nope - It looked just like this in person.
