Welcome to the Recent Wedding Page. Here you can see a sampling of ~ 30 images from each of our recent weddings.

Weddings are posted in the order in which we shot them. Alternately you can locate a wedding in the list of 'Recent Weddings' on the right side of this window, click on the link and you will be taken to the sample images from that event.

If you are here shopping for a Photographer, we may have a sample of a wedding shot at your venue. Scroll trough the 'Recent Weddings' (right side of the window, in blue). Events are listed by the couples name, the venue, the date.

If you are considering using Aaronstadt for your wedding photography we really appreciate that! We have been telling wedding day stories, with images, for many years and could not think of a better way to spend an afternoon, evening, weekend or whatever it takes to make those memories come alive again and again for you.

Ally and Dale, The Academy, December 12, 2011

It was a COLD day in Vancouver

But a hot time in the Hidden Courtyard at the Academy where Ally and Dale were married and had their reception on Saturday night!

Seven Bridesmaids and seven Groomsmen, kept us on our toes, let me tell you, though they were delightful to work with and we had a wonderful shoot.
It was a crowd and a sqeeze getting into the bridal prep rooms on Saturday evening. I almost felt guilty that Patrice was there and I was in with the guys who had the entire ballroom at their disposal. But hey, the pictures tell a beautiful story. The guys, well, we played at the bar and took lots of pictures while Ally was prepping. Ally's beautiful bouquet, the boutineers and single roses that the bridesmaids carried were provided by Clark County Floral
As we shot the first look in front of the big landing windows the glances going back and forth from Ally to Dale were quite wonderful. We took the chance to get poses in and around the building, we shot the family formals in beautiful Windsor Sanctuary and then it was time for the ceremony to begin.
The reception was in the Hidden Courtyard and catered with a Hawaiian theme. Toasts were given by the best man, who was Dale's brother, and the maid-of-honor.
The cake cutting, feeding and wearing was a suprise. Usually, its the groom we have to watch out for. We learned that Ally has a bit of a mischievous streak going on, . . . Dale, you wore it well! The guests enjoyed the cupcakes from Beaverton Bakery after the clean-up.
The party was hosted by Tom Farley of Tunes to Go. There were lots of lights, our cameras, and action, great music and lots of dancing. Great party, great shoot, great couple, great times.

THANKS GUYS!
