Holding A Gaze & Bouquet

Snow fell in West Vancouver in the remaining days of 2007. It was the afternoon. Traveling up the freshly blanketed mountain road to the house where the ceremony was held proved slightly treacherous and, depending on your perspective, fun. Nonetheless, the scenery was beautiful and bright, in stark contrast to the soggy and overcast day just moments prior heading up.
The groom arrived later in a sporty sedan, of which both seemed none for the worse. Walking the slushy steps to the house proved more demanding, however. Once inside, we had the chance to see the ceremonial flourishes decorated on the silvery fabric covering the floor. Flowers, candelabras, a mirror and all assortment of sweets.
In an adjacent room, Shima and her bridesmaids were getting ready. The atmosphere seemed calm upon first impression, but intermittingly pierced with the hurried chatter one expects. Our pit stop at the house was only temporary. Everyone was getting ready to head to the Country Club for some photos first…
“It was truly amazing. You made us laugh and you made us cry — I no longer have to wish for “our day†again, as you have captured every moment in a special way that we will always treasure. You could have never given us a more special gift than you did with our video… I don’t know how I could ever properly thank you!â€
