What does a photographer do when their client wants something ‘a bit different’ for their wedding day? Ask Steve and Heidi of Aim 2 Please Photography. That’s exactly what they were asked by Katherine and Steve who were married at a stunning golf course resort north of Toronto on a warm spring day.

The bride and groom were married by the bride's Grandparents, who are both members of the Salvation Army, then headed off to several locations around the resort where Steve and Heidi has set specific shots up. They posed with chairs in a grassy field, under a white canopy bed and set up a shoot with big lights outside the hotel after dark.

This wedding turned out to be a wedding of many firsts for Steve and Heidi. Their shooting format and album design included several elements they hadn’t experimented with before.

They used 16x9 cropping of their images, incorporated text into their album, and designed the album to specifically exploit and make use of the negative space on the page, to compliment the size manipulation and alignment of the images. Their choice of album size and format was also a first.

They chose a Queensberry 18x10 Horizontal Pagemount album with Grass Leather cover, Black mats and Silver pages - choosing the horizontal layout to parallel their 16x9 image cropping.
