Jay & Rachel’s Wedding

ByKeri Coles

As I am gearing up for another wedding season, I find a little time to reflect on the joy and unique moments from last year’s weddings. It is such a privilege to be a part of these celebrations of love. I just adore that I get to do this for a living. I am extremely invested in the love stories of all of my clients, and it is especially so when I get the opportunity to photograph the love story of a dear friend.
Jay and I have been running buddies (although I must admit Jay is much more dedicated than I). In fact, Jay is a personal hero of mine. I have never met another individual that has so successfully had the dedication and drive to make dramatically positive chances in his life. I will forever be in awe of him.
I had met Rachel a couple times before the wedding but wedding day was the first time I felt I really got to connect with her and witness her in all her beauty and grace. It made me so happy to know that my friend was marrying such an incredibly lovely human.
Here are some images from that magical day.

    I met up with Stephanie & Blake at the Roundhouse a couple weeks ago for a wedding portrait session. It was evident right away that in marrying each other, they were marrying their best friend. Their serenity in each other’s company made photographing them a treat. Here’s to a lifetime of love and memories.

  • Devil’s Night

    ByKeri Coles

    Just after we bought our big old creaky heritage house, I was walking down the sidewalk behind two boys of about 7 and I heard one say to the other “there’s the haunted house” in reference to our dear old home. Every year since, I have wanted to REALLY hauntify it for Halloween but my hours were somehow always filled with other adventures. Well, this year that glorious dream was finally realized 😉 We decked it out from porch to roof with red lights, cobwebs, dismembered doll parts, vultures and dry ice in a witch’s cauldron. Since Halloween fell on…

  • The inner ear and a big timeout.

    ByKeri Coles

    The last two months have been such an incredibly wonderful and horrid journey. On May.3rd, I woke up in the middle of the night and the world was spinning (imagine drunk spins but times it by a thousand). Honestly, I thought I was dying from a brain aneurysm. It felt that wrong. I couldn’t stop throwing up. I called my parents to take me to the hospital so Gene could stay home with Ella. When we got to the hospital, the doctor said it was an inner-ear infection and, since it was viral, I just had to wait it out….

  • Lawyers in Love

    ByKeri Coles

    Amanda & Brian got married in a gorgeous ceremony in Hawaii. Not everyone could make the trip down though so they also wanted to throw a reception party in Victoria. That’s when I got a call from Amanda. Because this fabulous couple live in Ohio we didn’t get a chance to meet until the day of the party. While this situation sometimes makes me nervous as I prefer  getting to know each other beforehand, I was amazed upon meeting these two that it felt like we had been friends for years. We had such a blast hanging out with them…

  • Exhibit A

    ByKeri Coles

    What a great show it was. I feel so fortunate to have connected with all these amazingly talented women photographers for the Exhibit A gallery show. The turnout to the opening was incredible; the gallery was packed from the moment we opened the doors right up until the end. The day that I sat the gallery, it was pretty quiet which allowed me to take a few photos and have some fun 😉 The series that I did for this show is called “Modern Portraits of a Heritage Town”. I created abstract art by incorporating movement into my shooting while…

  • Family fun in Goldstream

    ByKeri Coles

    One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to document the evolution of families. It wasn’t something I thought about when I was starting out but now that I have had clients come back to me year after year, I really cherish the times I get to catch up with them and see how beautifully their families have grown. This family is no exception. My last shoot with them was at Beacon Hill park last year. You can check out the images from that shoot here. This year we hung out and played at Goldstream. Ahhhh, Goldstream in the…
