Between the 20-foot tipi towering over the banks of the Saskatchewan River and all the reverent homages Angela and Cullan paid to their ancestors throughout their wedding weekend, this Ojibwe wedding was truly unforgettable. The couple’s ceremony took place within the sacred Wanuskewin Heritage Park and featured traditional Ojibwe wedding ceremony rituals performed by the groom’s father. The next day, the couple took their guests to The Red Pony Stands Ojibwe Horse Sanctuary for a reception that stayed true to their wild, free-spirited vibes and included portraits with a revered breed of pony that has deep significance to Canada’s indigenous tribes. Our hats off to Angela and Cullan for creating such a nuanced and sentimental wedding day and to Stick Productions who caputed it all! The Couple:

The Wedding:
Wanuskewin Heritage Park and The Red Pony Stands Ojibwe Horse Sanctuary, Saskatchewan, Canada

The most important aspect of planning our wedding was incorporating our Ojibwe traditions into a contemporary wedding ceremony to reflect our shared spiritual and cultural values. The father-of-the-groom officiated the wedding ceremony on our behalf, which included a traditional pipe ceremony and cultural protocols passed down from our grandparents and great-grandparents. The wedding ceremony was conducted entirely in the Ojibwe (Anishinaabemowin) language, including our vows.
