{foto friday} — a perfect autumn wedding

i told you how i fotographed a wedding a couple weekends ago, right?!  well, i’m still processing the 1300 raw images i shot, but i wanted to share a few of my favourites for foto friday.  i am beyond blessed to have met this woman. she is a soul sister and i immediately knew when we met that we were going to be close friends.  it can be a little nerve-wracking to mix business with pleasure, but i have found i work better when fotographing events for people i know.  in this case it was beyond easy.  first of all, the bride is STUNNING!  she looked like an egyptian goddess this day.  and she just put me at ease.  the entire wedding was basically HAND MADE from the flowers to the cake to the beer.  hosted in coal creek canyon’s eldora lodge – complete with crackling fireplace, snowfall, hot tubs, an incredible host staff, and tons of love and laughter.  i have never been to such a wedding.  i will never forget this day, it was so special to me in a very unique way…

so, here are a few of my favourite images.

i did mention how it rained like, 4 times that day?! i’ll share the shots i was able to snag in good light! 🙂

stunning!

here comes the bri — rain?!

someone get these two a room!

love this moment here…

the “ring bear” and flowergirl… {totally his idea}

i love love love this shot!  her misty eyes, his sweet caress.  these two just radiate love…

this is my favourite shot of the day.  it fully encompasses the entire event and honestly showcases their love for one another.  i love mostly that i didn’t pose them whatsoever.  they just had a moment and i happen to be there with my camera… eatin it up!  i couldn’t have posed a more perfect shot.  the rings, the flowers, their expressions, body language… that’s the REAL DEAL RIGHT THERE!

that’s love. ain’t it grand?!

xxoo
