Rachel Ludwig Photography | Abbotsford Portrait and Wedding Photographer

I was the official wedding photographer for Al (one of Tim’s younger brothers) & Meg’s wedding, and they were awesome! It was so fun to not only be able to witness their special day, but to be able to play a special role in capturing their day was awesome. And the best part was they totally trusted me, even after I dragged them through a wet and mushy field and made them stand against all sorts of grimy walls. And this was all while Meg was wearing her vintage wedding dress (made by her great great grandmother, and worn by her grandmother). Thanks for being such troopers Al & Meg!

I’m not done editing all the pictures I took yet, but here are some of my favorites:

Meg looking radiant. She was so calm and laid-back all day.

The aforementioned dress. They did some minor alterations, but it’s pretty similar to what her grandmother wore 63 years ago!

Some more vintageness….Meg received this piano as a gift from her great grandmother

Meg had wanted a country posie bouquet. I think they captured that perfectly for her.

Her grandmother putting her pearls on Meg.

Meg and her dad as they are about to leave for the church. Her parents have a beautiful piece of property with wonderful landscaping where they hosted the reception.

A slightly nervous groom.

Al and his brother Jeremy….two peas in a pod.

I may be biased, but the ringbearer and flowergirl were adorable!

The bride and her brother, the man of honor.

They got married in this beautiful old church, it was a great location for some portraits while it rained!

There’s was lots of kissing going on

I borrowed a polaroid camera…it was so fun!

I love this picture, it’s so completely captures Al and his quirky personality!

My husband’s side of the family had a fun and busy time at the end of August when we got to celebrate not one, but two weddings. In two days. Yes, it was a little crazy, but in the end it worked out really well and we all had a great time!

My husband Tim’s younger sister Debby and her new husband Peter were married first on Friday August 24th here in Abbotsford. I was asked to take some pictures while Debby was getting ready, and of course I managed to snap a few more shots during the ceremony and reception as well.

Here’s a few of my favorite shots from the day:

I’ve been having fun with shoe shots lately.

You have to have at least one shot with the rollers in, right?

Or maybe two

She was such a beautiful bride! Even with the funny look on her face.

Aren’t the flowers gorgeous?

I popped my head into the men’s waiting room prior to the ceremony, and I just had to grab a quick shot when I saw this…Peter’s brother (and best man) creating a “Wedding Tactical Schematic”. Too funny!

And my handsome little ringbearer…he sure looked spiffy in a tux. He wasn’t quite sure about the pink vest and tie, but partway through the day he declared that “pink is my lucky number!”.

He slept through the entire ceremony and got more than a few giggles as his head kept nodding onto the flower girl’s shoulder.

Mr & Mrs!
