Kelsi & Mark are still on their honeymoon right now, so I’m posting this as a slideshow for them to see for the first time.

I always love the personality and care that goes in to a backyard wedding. Doing everything yourself means a lot of help from family and friends, and it was so heartwarming to see everyone come together to make Kelsi & Mark’s day perfect. Plus, Kelsi’s dad also happens to be an amazing chef and landscape artist, so that helps. As I mentioned before, this was the day of the unforgettable lightning storm, which hit especially hard in Langley. But Kelsi & Mark and all their guests were such good sports that it actually added to the fun, and it’s something none of them will ever forget.

Kelsi and Mark, I just want to thank you for including David and I in your amazing day, and we hope you love the resulting images.

We managed to squeeze in Kelsi & Mark’s engagement session just 5 short days before their wedding day. Normally I like to do them a couple months in advance, but this worked out great because everything they’d practiced was still fresh in their minds. Not that these two needed any coaching, though. The ability to be silly yet sweet together always makes for a very smooth couples shoot.

We’ve since shot their wedding, which occured the day of the unforgettable thunder & lighting storms. They took it all in stride and had an amazing party regardless. I’ll be posting those photos within the next few days, so they can take a peek while on their vacation.

These two laugh so wildly together… it’s a trait that is invaluable as a couple.

The nice thing about Steveston is the variety of locations all in one place. Plus, no crowds to deal with on a hot summer evening.

This is the aftermath of Mark kicking Kelsi in the head as he tried to swing his leg over her….realizing he wasn’t as flexible as he thought. Luckily no permanent damage done 5 days before the wedding, so we were able to have a good laugh about it.

And then, to our horror, we saw this. I’m pretty sure these dogs all had perfectly good legs.

Thanks, you two! Can’t wait to get your wedding photos posted later this week!
