I met Brian about two years ago just after he accepted a job at Red Robin waiting tables. (Red Robin is often my office away from home where I edit photos) He and his high school sweetheart, Kelsey, had recently moved to Bellingham from Anchorage, Alaska. Brian has a magnetic personality… always a smile on his face and always with something funny to say, so it didn’t take long to get to know him. He proposed to Kelsey in 2009 and long story short, they hired me to do their wedding in Anchorage. I couldn’t have been more honored! Brian is a lucky guy… not only is Kelsey absolutely gorgeous, she’s an awesome woman who keeps him in check!
The wedding was fantastic. Truly. It was cold and windy but Kelsey and her bridesmaids powered through the portraits and ceremony. Brian’s groomsmen were as funny and chatty as he is, which always makes my job more fun. Brian smiled the entire day…. and every time I looked at Kelsey, she was beaming as well.
Thank you SO much for allowing me to photograph your wedding. The trip to Alaska was my first and I can’t wait to go back! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
First look…
The best Alaska has to offer? 🙂LOVE that Brian and his guys were wearing cool shoes!I was photographing the guys and looked over and saw the girls huddling together to stay warm.
Brian tries to hold it together as he watches Kelsey walk down the aisle…Sometimes when its cold, the rings don’t fit…It was too windy to light the unity candles outside so they did it inside just following the ceremony.I love this shot of Brian photographing Kelsey as she dances with her dad…Kelsey’s cousin and Brian slide toward Kelsey while playing air guitars!Congratulations!
Brian&Kelsey - Ahhhh…. Rachel, your amazing! You have such an amazing eye, and so creative with your photos. Thank you SO much for making the trip to AK, it means the world to us. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thanks a million! 🙂
Love,
Brian and Kelsey
Joy & Donna - These are really beautiful…can’t wait for our day…see you Aug. 7
Nicole Medcalf - Rachel,
I have to tell you something quite funny about this wedding…you were shooting it only about a block from the house I grew up in!!!! The Bayshore Clubhouse was my employer as well and I have many fond memories of walking around that pond (careful of the creeky boards). Hope you enjoyed my stomping grounds!!!!!
