Erin and Shane- Invermere Wedding Photography

July 28, 2010

Erin and Shane were married at Eagle Ranch Golf Club in Invermere, BC, this month. The day started out warm and sunny but slowly the clouds rolled in threatening their outdoor ceremony.  As luck would have it the rain held off until just after the first kiss. A few drops here and there fell as we rushed around doing their portrait session. In the end they had a terrific thunderstorm on their wedding day and I’m told that’s very lucky. Erin and Shane must have been wearing horseshoes since after the storm a perfect double rainbow appeared over the golf course followed a beautiful sunset….oh and did I mention 2 bald eagles soaring over the ceremony? Pretty sure that must mean something lucky in some culture or another. But Erin and Shane are the kind of people who you hope really good things happen too- they are sincere and kind and thoughtful-but most of all they have a way of making you feel like you have been friends forever. Just two of the most amazing people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I mean, really, what kind of amazing girl is valedictorian and prom queen? 

Erin and Shane had lots of special parts to their wedding that made me smile, but I teared up at perhaps an unlikely part. After their first dance they surprised their guests with a choreographed dance routine to “Down” by Jay Sean. They were dancing around just looking so in love and happy and all the guests were cheering and laughing. It was such a moment of pure joy.  You could  feel the love radiate from the room. A moment later the dance floor filled and not a person was left in the seats. I could not stop smiling.

I’m so glad when good things happen to good people. Your day could not have been better.

If I ever make it down to Boston I am totally taking you up on a visit and a tour 🙂     

Hugs,

Kelsy

    

I snuck Erin and Shane out of their reception for those last few sunset images. I was waiting till a small break in the nightly events when the light outside was just right. Again we were *lucky* as the sunset right behind the mountians only minutes after we went outside. We had such a small window of time- maybe 10 minutes tops- and it just barely worked out. I love when things work out 🙂

Awesome photos you two. The rainbow shot is too good to be true, though it made me laugh a bit after having recently watched the “Double Rainbow” video on YouTube. Anyway, so sorry I couldn’t make it up there for the actual day. Glad it turned out so beautifully!

As usual, love all your photos Kelsy: they are stunning.

Plus, holy gorgeous shoes, Erin! They look like flats, which I want for my wedding next year.

These photos are amazing…the uniqueness of the posses and the gorgeous background took my breath away. It is certainly the next best thing to being there. Erin and Shane are certainly blessed to have these pictures to look upon as they grown old together.

An amazing couple, an amazing event, and these are amazing pictures that captured it all. Absolutely Beautiful!!!

Beautiful!! Amazing photos. It was an amazing day and we were so happy to be a part of it!!

These photos are amazing!! Such a mix of weather! Erin and Shane are so beautiful! 🙂

Kelsy, you’re so modest. You were “lucky” and it “worked out” because you are so observant! You were carefully watching for the perfect lighting and that’s why it worked out so perfectly! I love that you are such a perfectionist and patient. Together those qualities make your work outstanding.

Wonderful pictures….covers the spirit day so well….I was there…and this looks like what I experienced! What a great wedding…full of joy and laughter and love! Congrats Erin and Shane…and thanks for letting us sharing your day.

Love Linda

PS Not sure I “get” the headless bride and attendant shot…. ?

Oh my God! Double rainbow! Gorgeous couple. The elements actually made for some incredible photographs, what with the stormy sky, the double rainbow, and the fantastic sunset.

What an outstanding occasion!! A magical event filled with a cast of truly outstanding people and memorable settings that will stay in our hearts for a lifetime! Thank you Erin and Shane for giving all of us a glimpse of your Rockies, lakes, and valleys, they are breathtaking, and to Kelsy for capturing it all!!

Beautiful!! The stormy sky, the double rainbow, the perfect lighting in every single shot-breathtaking!!

What a beautiful wedding! The pictures are wonderful. Congrats to you both! Michelle’s mom.

The pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Fabulous job Kelsy. Every picture looks stunning. I look forward to the others!

Kelsy is a perserverant photographer–no matter what Mother Nature chose to throw at her, she turned on her creativity and made the most of it. These photos are delectable examples of her talent–clearly! The subjects aren’t too shabby either 😉

I love you guys!! These pictures are incredible, I spent this morning showing everyone at work 🙂 Everyone thought the rainbow must have been photoshopped in, it is so perfect!

Amazing Pictures of Erin & Shane! So beautiful, can’t wait to see the rest!
