Intimate styled wedding photography shoot ~ Aileen and Nik – Belcarra, Port Moody, BC. 1940’s vintage dress hanging in my closet; The inspiration of my recent styled shoot! The dress was my Granny’s from her and my Grandad’s wedding in the 40’s. It is in mint condition and I could not pass up the opportunity to photograph her dress. My Grandmother, Isobel, and my Grandad, Herbert were both born in 1912 in Halkirk, Alberta and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were both in WWII with my Grandad as a tail gunner on a supply plane, and my Granny and her sister Helen working in an airplane factory in Port Arthur, which is now known as Thunder Bay. They married in 1945 or 1946 and had their first of three children in their 40’s, which was rare for that day and age. One thing I love most about them is that they took the time to be together and enjoy each other before beginning a family.
Seeing the two of them together was the most beautiful thing to witness as a kid. Every time my Granny would walk by my Grandad he would reach out and grab her hand gently and lovingly. There was so much tenderness and warmth. I miss them both so dearly and would have loved to know them and spend time with them as an adult. My Grandad passed away in 1993 and my Granny passed away in 2011 at the age of 98.
It was such a privilege for me to photograph Aileen in her dress. The fur shawl was provided by Meredith Lacosse Makeup and definitely added to the beauty of the already elegant dress. Aileen and her partner Nik were such a pleasure to work with! I met them for the first time on the day we shot and everything came together so perfectly, plus I like to think I made a new friend!
