Kelly and Chad’s wedding pictures are a little different than usual - because I was already booked on their wedding date, we booked a ‘Day After’ shoot that was literally the day after. They woke up the morning after their wedding, got all dressed up again, did their hair and make-up etc., so that we could take pictures! It was actually really nice to not have a time limit and be totally relaxed, because they were already married and the crazy day was behind them. (But I can’t believe their whole wedding party agreed to it! Hardcore.) It was doubly nice because I know Kelly and her sisters from high school, which always makes it that much more fun.
We headed out to Stanley Park / Coal Harbour in Vancouver, right around the hotel they were staying at. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, just like their wedding day the day before.

I took this shot on one of the bridesmaids dresses – love the colour.![blog[cl]wblackmore0117](http://rphotographer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/blogclwblackmore0117.jpg "blog[cl]wblackmore0117")
Tons of people have trouble doing the ’serious but not sad or angry’ look. Kelly thankfully does not – she is the master of it. :P So classic.![blog[cl]wblackmore0147](http://rphotographer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/blogclwblackmore0147.jpg "blog[cl]wblackmore0147")
Very cool gigantic tree stump thing-a-ma-jig:![blog[cl]wblackmore0324](http://rphotographer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/blogclwblackmore0324.jpg "blog[cl]wblackmore0324")
I love shooting here – until we found needles. Gross! I thought Coal Harbour was a decent part of Vancouver? (Sorry again to the ladies who were up there in open shoes!)

Kelly’s bouquet was really pretty – different than your standard roses, it looked more like gathered wildflowers. And can you believe it held up this well the day after the wedding?![blog[cl]wblackmore0022](http://rphotographer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/blogclwblackmore0022.jpg "blog[cl]wblackmore0022")

Chad is very similar to Adam (my fiance) in that he doesn’t like to smile a lot in pictures. So this is one of my faves:

We were lucky to get a stretch on this bridge when no one else was on it – pretty rare on a Sunday afternoon.
