Bobbi Barbarich, photographer

Sep 2022

We honestly cannot say enough good things. There aren't enough words, truly. Our hunt for a wedding photographer was REAL. We looked at 40+ photographers in the province of BC. While others had certain things we were looking for, no one seemed to have the whole package. We weren’t big on the ‘status quo’ wedding photos. While we absolutely wanted photos of the entirety of our day, we didn’t need the stock standard rings, dress hanging, people standing around smiling, etc. We wanted the 'dream,' photographer. One who could capture the raw emotion and vibe of the day, one who would capture those swoon worthy images, one who would capture all the ‘status quo’ things but in a way where they were part of it. When we arrived at Bobbi's site, the emotion we could feel in her photos was palpable. We knew we had to meet her. When we did get the chance to meet, her authenticity, honesty and personality sealed the deal for us. She answered all our questions, even gave advice on certain things based on her own experiences with weddings. Her having been to hundreds and us new to planning one. We decided to go with a package that included a connection session. Would highly recommend. We headed out to Waterton and got to know her even better. Turns out we were right - she’s just a wicked person. Not only that, but we also got to see her style of photography with us in the photos. We were blown away by our pictures. They were stunning. Fast forward to wedding day. Bobbi fits in with anyone, she blends in with everyone, she’s the guest you want at your wedding. Our photos turned out so incredibly amazing, so beautiful. We couldn’t be any happier with them. We laughed and we cried when we viewed them. They were absolutely everything we wanted. Truthfully, we don’t even know how to pick our favorite ones. Each time I look at them I am immediately transported back to the day. Which is such a phenomenal feeling. We have it all. The getting ready, the ceremony, the wedding party, the portraits, the speeches, the love, the laughter, the uniqueness of our guests, they’re personalities somehow captured in a single image, the moments we didn’t even know happened, the things we didn’t even see. She is truly fascinated by people in the best way, finding beauty in everything. Her ability to capture magic is unparalleled. We honestly cannot recommend Bobbi enough. Hire her. We promise you will not be disappointed.

We met Bobbi waaaaaay back in 2020...and since then, we feel incredibly lucky every time we see an engagement photo, wedding photo, or hear or see anything wedding related, because it reminds us that we had the most amazing experience with her; one that is truly life changing. Even when it isn't about our own wedding experience or the photos aren't of us, if we think 'wedding' or 'photographer' we take a minute and say to ourselves "Man we chose the right person, Bobbi absolutely killed it!" We feel so lucky because we are now able to reminisce of the most special day in our life, by way of the memories that she encapsulated, so perfectly, for us. She truly is the keeper of our MEMORY GOLD (and yes this is a term I just created to describe Bobbi!). Part of our initial choosing of a wedding photographer was influenced by another photographer not being available, as he was part of our wedding party. However, once recommended, it was very clear that Bobbi was serious about what she does- her passion, talent, and very cool Kootenay-style was evident from the first photograph we saw on her website. We knew we had to have her. We even changed the date of our wedding to ensure our memories were in the best hands possible. After our engagement session with her, we became even more excited, knowing she would be capturing our special day just the way we had hoped. Then, the gallery photos of our wedding exceeded any expectation we had. They were stupid good. We cried a lot of happy tears when looking at them, because seeing them is like re-living the day. This is the definition of nailing it. We look at other peoples wedding photos and I appreciate her style, quality, and overall talent as a photographer, even more so. Just in general, Bobbi is cool as all heck', and if you are lucky enough to have her snap pics for your business, engagement, wedding, or special occasion of any kind, you can give yourself a huge high five (every day for the rest of your life) because you made the right choice, and you will never regret it. You will never regret Bobbi.

Where to even start about how fantastic Bobbi is?! She is so engaging and her positivity and passion radiate off of her. We fell in love with her candid style and way of capturing moments that made you feel like you were there and as soon as we talked we knew we had found who we wanted as our wedding photographer. She has been amazing to communicate with (especially through all of the COVID complexities) and when we finally got to meet face to face for our engagement shoot, it was so much fun! We did a sunrise hike up a mountain (EEOR) and we absolutely LOVE how the pictures turned out. Can't wait to have her at our wedding (for the photos of course but also because she's such a joy to be around)!
