abbotsford portraits: john & natascha.

in

last summer before my best friend natascha left for 6 months, her -now fiancé- john, wanted to surprise her with a little photoshoot. so we picked a beautiful sunday afternoon and we met up at granny & grumpa's antiques. her reaction to seeing me there was, "what are you doing here?" surprise :) we also went to birchwood dairy to cool off with some ice cream.these two are so fun and i'm so happy to be able to stand beside natascha as her maid of honour as she marries john at the end of the summer. these are not their engagement photos, but just a fun going away present at the time.NJ1NJ2NJ10NJ11NJ9NJ3NJ4NJ8NJ5NJ7NJ6NJ12

abbotsford family photographer: the rabels.

now this family is very close to me. in fact, this is my best friend's family. we kind of believe that since our parents were in the same small group together, it kinda of forced us to become friends. but it worked out since natascha and i have been best friends ever since!it was fun hanging out with them by the river, despite all the mosquitoes!DSC_4231eDSC_4242eDSC_4269eDSC_4275ediDSC_4284eDSC_4323edDSC_4343eDSC_4384eDSC_4403eBWDSC_4417eBWDSC_4437eBWDSC_4425eBWDSC_4463eDSC_4473eDSC_4480e

abbotsford wedding photographer: ryan & raelynne.

now i don't know if it's because i'm good friends with ryan and raelynne but their wedding was a good one. the whole day was organized so well and felt so relaxed. it was a long day but being there to photograph raelynne and her bridesmaids getting ready, to the bride and groom's final goodbyes at the reception was all worth it. ryan and raelynne, thank you so much for including me in your day! i wish you two all the best!also, thanks to jon ens for a few of the photos below.0121022219071103DSC_8946d090420100506DSC_9303dDSC_9417dDSC_9448d12_MG_9444e1413DSC_9550d15_MG_9365e23DSC_9668d161718252829DSC_0296dDSC_0411dDSC_0413d24DSC_0082d2627083031DSC_0515d323334353637
