Amanda & Bob’s wedding at Ryder Lake…  I didn’t even know this place existed!  I’ve driven around Chilliwack many times but had never been up there, it’s a beautiful quiet location with great views of the mountains.

Amanda & Bob had previously had their engagement photos done with me at Crescent Beach, of course at sunset.  This is a favorite location for me any time of year for photos, if you don’t know where to go and you like the beach I’ll probably suggest it.

The morning started off with hair at Terbara Hair Care in Chilliwack.  From there I headed to Amanda’s parents for makeup and putting the dress on, while Rachelle headed over to Bob’s to photograph the guys.  What better way to get to the ceremony than in a classis car?  No I didn’t get to ride in it but I did get photos!   We head over to the Ryder Lake area for the ceremony at Ryder Lake Park, and the reception at Ryder Lake hall across the street.  The bride & groom arranged for some photos on some private property at a lake (apparently not the actual Ryder Lake) – this turned out to be an awesome location for some photos at the waterfront!  The reception decorations were country themed and suited them very well, and a lot of fun was had by all during the ceremony, I think you will see that in the reception photographs.

Rachelle and I loved how friendly and nice everyone was, thank you!

And now on with the photos, starting with a few engagement photos at Crescent Beach:
