After the reception we headed for some pictures with the family, the bridal party, and of course the bride and groom. We got to the location before Shawn and Melissa, who ended up getting stuck in traffic, but they still gave us about an hour and a half to get all the pictures done. They totally knew the value of giving us the time to get these pictures done and we’re glad we were all on the same page. In the first half an hour we got all the family pictures out of the way so they could leave. We then spent the next hour shooting just the bridal party, and the bride and groom.

For the must-have posed, traditional pictures, we found this perfect set of stairs with some greenery around it. This is where we took all the family shots.

We asked Shawn and Melissa to hold hands for a picture, and out of nowhere this moth came and started circling around their hands. It also sat patiently enough right on top of their hands just long enough for us to take a couple of pictures. How serendipitously cool!




One of the groomsmen had to leave because of his newborn, so one of the other two got lucky with two bridesmaids. You can see them cracking up in this one about it!

Our absolute favourites from the day! Mehreen captured these pictures of the bridal party next to a barn.


With some time to relax, the girls got talking …



Mehreen’s exact words to the bride after this following picture: “You have lovely collar bones!”


For this set of pictures below we tried a different technique in post that gives it a very old school, hint of sepia, faded film look. See if you like it …





We then headed back to the reception hall and ended the night with cake cutting and first dance.
