i love it when a bride chooses non-traditional colors for anything! … check out these sweet sweet shoes! mmmMMMM!!



as gorgeous kristin enters into our view on her dad’s arm, rich’s small and shy smile spoke volumes of his love for her.


i took the bridal party to a nearby elementary school to have some fun on the swings! the boys and girls didn’t need extra prompting when asked to pump as high as they could! you guys were GREAT!

the school has the cutest lil red fire truck to play in!

check out their cool cufflinks! rich and his brother’s were tiny compasses! VERY COOL (:

this wedding wouldn’t be complete without cuban cigars (;


the bridal party hanging out while kristin spun around a few times for me in front of the white wall. aren’t they all just so adorable?

a lil flare and vignetting for an awesome bridal portrait. loving the long shadows!

… and then it’s back at van dusen gardens’ shaughnessy restaurant where cool details like hand printed cards on favor boxes greeted me. simple, yet very very effective.

a gorgeous cake made by cupcakes, who also did not disappoint by presenting actual cupcakes for the dessert part of the evening.

it was an evening filled with much joy and laughter …

… followed by a very sweet dance by the married couple, who showed some very sleek dance moves.


congratulations, kristin+rich! you two are simply great together, and i felt very lucky to have been able to capture the memorable moments of your wedding day! have tons of fun backpacking through europe, and i’ll catch up with the both of you when you’re back from your adventure! xx
