i had seen rebecca‘s name floating around the vancouver photographer world for a few months. we had even exchanged a few emails about photoshoot locations in langley and such. though we had yet to meet, we were facebook friends (because us photographers like to be connected… duh!)– and last year i saw on facebook that she was engaged. rebecca being a photographer herself, she literally knows of hundreds of photographers that would do an amazing job capturing her wedding day. i was so stoked when i saw an email land in my inbox saying she was interested in meeting with me. to my delight, they hired me! rebecca+adam’s engagement session last year was one of my favourites of 2009… and one of yours. ;) it was the most commented-on post of the year! i knew fun stuff was in store for their wedding. ooooh, was i ever right!
adam & rebecca went to the same private catholic high school years ago… but never knew each other. three grades apart, their paths never crossed. it wasn’t until rebecca became a server at the restaurant adam worked at that the two connected. as the story goes, adam was training rebecca on the closing tasks of the restaurant: dealing with the money at the end of the night, etc. he asked rebecca out to dinner and rebecca looked up, awkwardly laughed and kept counting out the money. she went home to her family, talked about her day. when she got to the part about adam asking her out to dinner, her family freaks out on her: “rebecca, he was asking you OUT. and you LAUGHED.” whoops. the next day, adam wasn’t on the schedule, but rebecca wrote a little note, “yes. i’d love to have dinner with you,” and left it in the safe for him to find the next day. he found it. ;)
every detail of rebecca+adam’s day was perfectly planned. rebecca had stunning taste and it made my job so easy. they had the best-lookin’ bridal party i’ve ever seen. i absolutely loved the bridesmaids’ j.crew dresses (been dying to shoot a wedding with j.crew dresses!) and the groomsmen’s tan suits. rebecca designed all of the florals herself. the reception took place at the amazing fraser river lodge in agassiz, bc. couldn’t get over how stunning everything was. there must have been over two hundred mason jars throughout the lodge, with a single tealight in the bottom of each one. so simple, so elegant. the centerpieces and all the details were nothing short of perfect. rebecca+adam shared their first dance on the balcony of the fraser river lodge, overlooking snow-capped mountains. the band was phenomenal, playing awesome music from the 60s like “you can’t hurry love” while guests danced under strawberry-coloured lanterns. as i was packing up to leave, i had a permasmile on my face. what a fabulous wedding. if it wasn’t for my aching feet and tired back, i would have stayed and dance the night away. ;) it was truly that much fun. enjoy these photos. i couldn’t choose and this post has already taken me hours, so you’re just gettin’ a ton, k?
What a lovely, beautiful wedding! Love the shots under the bridge!

I was actually afraid to comment on this one because of how many times I might use the word "love". Rebecca truly is one classy lady. And you captured it perfectly. And what would you call that colour? Salmon? Coral? Sunset? It’s so perfect and so unique. High fives!
