By popular demand (aka polite requests) : ), here is Allison and Kyle’s slideshow that we surprised them with at their wedding reception in Nicaragua!

1. Allison and Kyle’s wedding took place on that miraculous January day when the weather turned from a stormy downpour, to what we see in the photos below!  When I arrived at the house that Allison was getting ready at, it was so windy that my car door flew open and my hair blew sideways as I stepped outside.  This was the first time I was actually a little concerned about the weather on a wedding day, based on the torrential downpour and sideways rain we had in Vancouver for the days leading up to Allison and Kyle’s wedding.  Who would have thought we’d end up with California style sun that day!?!?!
2. Another fun solo shoot, all by my lonesome!  Solo shooting was how I started out photographing weddings back in the day, and I love the pressure and fast paced experience of solo shooting once in a while, so sometimes I schedule weddings this way.   So don’t worry, I haven’t fired Mark or anything like that : )  haha!  But because Mark wasn’t there that day, I needed some company in my car, so I got to drive around a car full of gentlemen (the groomsmen) all day!  A pretty good replacement if you ask me : )  Ahhhhh the life!
3. If you haven’t guessed, Allison and Kyle hail from “the gang” (as I call them), as explained in Kristina and Brad‘s wedding entry.  It is always such a blast spending a wedding day with the gang, as they are surrounded by very supportive friends and family who all ensure that the wedding day is super fun and perfect- special thanks to Jess, who was the decor queen and did an amazing job!
4. We wish Allison and Kyle an amazing journey, as they serve in Nicaragua for the years to come.  They had a reception in Nicaragua last Friday, where we surprised them with a slideshow of their wedding photos!  Congrats Allison and Kyle!  Thank you for an amazing day!  I already miss your dimples Allison!

I loved the lack of privacy during Ally and Kyle’s first look.  It couldn’t have been more perfect  : )
