True Canadian Wedding

Sarah and Nathan.
(one hell of a catch you have there Sarah!)
Photographing weddings is an honor. Not only because a couple chooses you from dozens of photographers but also because a wedding contract is so much more meaningful compared to say a magazine or commercial shoot.
(Nathan losing a puck battle to his new wife, one of many he will lose in the upcoming years :))
I mean I do take the time and care when shooting a huge commercial project, but often the technical requirements of commercial or editorial overrides the emotional requirements.   
(these bridesmaides dont go down without a fight)
Off my soap box now and on to Sarah and Nathan's wedding. This couple went pure Canadian on their wedding day. 

(the boys "ripping" into Nathan for losing the battle) 
I say that because they decided to bring out hockey sticks and hockey gloves to do some photographs. Now Im not usually into props, but when a couple asks to implement props into their shoot, then I'm all for it.

The wedding had a decent sized bridal party and all were very involved in the shooting process. They are going to have a extraordinary album with a nice mix of stylized and traditional photographs.

Both Sarah and Nathan are obviously huge hockey fans but each of them has their own team.  One is a diehard Flames fan, the other is a true blue Oilers fan. The next 50 years should be very interesting between OCT 2 and playoff time.

(its all about the shoes girls!!!)

I believe we are shooting a TRASH THE DRESS session with Sarah and her girlfriends in Calgary in a few weeks.

Enjoy!
