Recently I had a wedding at another golf course that I hadn’t been to yet. Bahare and Serge’s wedding at the Capilano Golf & Country Club was as gorgeous as the award winning location it’s self. The ceremony was held out on the deck of the Clubhouse, which sits nestled in a dramatic tree filled hillside where the city peeks at you between the trees. The golden chair wraps went perfectly with the noon sun during the ceremony, and the natural breeze was the perfect balance to the sunshine. Their reception decor was elegant with fluffy white ostrich plumes towering above the tables, and simple black, white and golden yellow accents.

One thing I must caution you all about… the food. The food at Capilano is DELICIOUS!! Oh my goodness!!! They brought some yummy chicken and 2 different types of heavenly prawns out during the portrait portion of the day and because I was always busy shooting, I didn’t get nearly as many as I would have liked.

Bahare and Serge are one of those couples that ooze love for eachother! You can feel their passion for each other and see the fun they have together. It was a pleasure to get to know them on their engagement session and an honour to be involved in their wedding day.

The veil-over-the-couple’s-heads-shot is a shot I would never ask a couple to do, I shy away from doing things “everyone is doing” because then it isn’t specific to the couple and comes off as cheesey. IMHO. But when this bride pulled it over her groom in the middle of a shoot, and they slipped into their own private and tender world, I couldn’t help but *click*. To me it summed up what I am at a wedding to do; capture the couple and who they are, and put my artistic spin on it.

There seems to be a recurring theme in most of my photoshoots; whether it be out-and-about during a fun portrait shoot, or during the wedding day portrait shoot, I seem to always have awesome props come to me. Rad bike ‘eh?!

Excuse me, do you mind if we take some pictures on your ridiculously expensive custom bikes?!

In case you are wondering, yes, that is a red metallic flake paint job! Bling, bling!

… and yes, those are our cars pulled over in the back ground so we could get these shots on the side of the road!!
