At the end of September, just a few weeks before my due date, I tagged along with my friend Karin to do some second shooting for Arenda and Jeremy’s wedding. I just joined her for the portrait portion of the day, and shortly after I went home I thought that maybe Hudson was going to make his arrival that night! Unfortunately, I think that he liked being warm and cozy inside, and he decided to wait another 2 1/2 weeks to make his arrival (stinker!).
But I’m so glad that he didn’t arrive before the wedding, because I love the shots I was able to get of this couple. Who are not only gorgeous, but super duper nice and down to earth. Plus they happen to live in our suite, so I’m hoping these pictures will help make up for the occasional noisiness that filters down to them courtesy of my kids. haha. 
Anyways, here are a few of my faves…Enjoy:
One of my favorite shooting locations…Westminster Abbey in Mission.
Karin in action (rockin’ my Shootsac that she borrowed for the day):
A bit of vintage lovin’:
Is she not stunning?:
My husband gave me very strict instructions that I was not allowed to perform any ‘photographer acrobatics”. Seeing as I was 9 months pregnant and all. Um. I don’t know if acrobatics would have included laying on the ground. But maybe that’s why I had false labor that night!?! LOL.
While Karin was busy with the bride & groom, I was able to work with the very accommodating wedding party. Can you guess which ones are siblings to Arenda and Jeremy?
We snuck into the Abbey to take a few shots…the stained glass is stunning:
The weather was amazing that day, as were the fall colors that were just starting. It was perfect!
And one more of Karin in action (because every photographer needs a few shots like this!)

I think the false labour was a small price to pay for that gorgeous shot from the grass.
P.S. You are being very industrious for a new mother.
k. I want to know how you got up after that shot with all the bridesmaids?
These are amazing, Rachel! You are so the master of wedding portraits! (And I am totally freaked out cause I’m pretty sure Karin is wearing the shoes I wear at weddings!)
wow, you got some great shots!!! I love the group one of just the wedding party. Love it, and the one on the stairs, and…okay, I just really like them. And the baby ones above, and Larry and Darlene’s below. You are a busy girl! Can’t believe you’re getting to your computer to edit and post. I still barely find the time!
