    Kristy & Barry | Vancouver Wedding Photographer

    Thursday, October 29th, 2009

    I had the absolute pleasure of attending and photographing Kristy and Barry’s wedding last Friday.  The bride was gorgeous, the groom a tiny bit nervous and the kiddos precious throughout the ceremony.  Kristy and Barry are so lucky to have wonderful friends and family that support and love them.

    The wedding was autumn themed, and every little detail was perfect!

    I loved Kristy’s guest book.  She had some bare branches on the table and satin ribbons tied to the smallest colorful leaves.

    Her guests left a message for the couple and signed the back.  Not only was this creative, it was beautiful!

    First KISS! (okay, that isn’t exactly true, but the first kiss as Mr. and Mrs.)

    Joyful and proud!

    You can tell these two just love eachother!  We snuck a dry moment to capture some images outdoors!  Look at the fall color, it is everywhere.

    Simple elegance!

    The cutest kiddos ever helped move the ceremony right along!

    And, after it was all said and done, a GRAND entrance to fun music and the dancing commenced (check out the little one doing the splits at the bottom!… that was a riot!)

    Congrats to you both!  May you continue to be blessed and grow in your love year after year.  Cherish eachother and keep it real.

    Your friend, Rachel

    The wedding was shot with a Nikon D300, 85MM 1.4, 70-200 2.8, 60MM 2.8, and some very necessary and powerful Nikon flash units, triggered by pocket wizards.

    Coordinated : Sophisticated

    Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

    When planning a family portrait session, dressing for the weather is just as important as looking good.  Avoid matchy-matchy and go for coordinated, sophisticated looks.

    The below looks are available from Gap and Banana Republic online and in-stores this season.
