Bobbi Barbarich, photographer

We chose Bobbi to document our wedding because we appreciated her candid style that captures the silly, wild and intimate moments of a wedding in a way that is not super "posed. " Bobbi was very thoughtful in the lead-up to the event and took time to get to know us and our vibe. We appreciated her experience and insights working with our venue and how she helped make sure we had some time as a couple to connect during such a hectic day. Our family and friends all praised her warm professionalism and her ability to just blend into the background. Her photos are gorgeous and capture the joy and closeness we felt at our wedding. Bobbi is an absolute pro and worth every penny.

Wow where do we even begin. Bobbi was incredible! She was able to capture our day in a way we didn’t even know was possible. The photos we have received are absolutely breathtaking! You can feel the emotions in each photo as a story is unfolding. Bobbi’s photography isn’t standard, you are buying an experience that lasts a lifetime. Her photography is a documentary that tells a story from start to finish with everything in between. As we watch the slide show over and over again, we time travel back to being on top of Mt. Crawford, exchanging our vows in the most love filled intimate ceremony. Our day wasn’t posing in front of a camera being models, we created memories from picking huckleberries for the first time, to almost falling off of a mountain (she has quick reflexes btw) to picking up rocks to keep forever, to countless moments of laughter. Bobbi created a safe welcoming space that allowed us to be comfortable and our real authentic goofy selves. From the moment we met Bobbi there was an instant connection of friendship. Bobbi is the most genuine, kindest soul we have ever met. We can’t thank you enough for perfectly capturing our love for each other.

Bobbi was excellent; from the beginning to the end, everything she did was amazing. So many of our guests asked when our photos were coming because Bobbi had been capturing moments, not posing us or them for photos.

We just gave her our ideas of what we wanted and what was important to us, and she rolled with them and got everything we wanted and more.

I found Bobbi through Google, and once I saw her photos, I couldn’t imagine going with another photographer. We wanted the candid moments captured of the evening, not having someone pose us for a pretty picture. We got everything we wanted with Bobbi.

We chose Bobbi because of her documentary style of photography.   Her work seemed to tell a story rather than being a collection of posed shots.   Looking through her site, we could tell she was talented at catching special moments, expressions, and emotions.
The photographer was a very important choice for us, and we were worried about finding one we liked who wasn't already booked.   We were set up to go with someone else, but after seeing Bobbi's site, realized how different her work is.   There's such variety to her shots!
Bobbi made us feel comfortable, and like we were in good hands, right away.   She had lots of time for us and had very helpful insights into the overall wedding planning process.   The connection session was a wonderful bonus, and the photos from it are some of our most precious.
Bobbi is energetic, charismatic, and talented. We can't recommend her enough!

I wish there were more than 5 stars!

For us going with Bobbi as our wedding photographer was a no brainer! We met her a few years earlier when she photographed my brothers wedding. At a time in my life where I didn’t feel the best about myself, she took a photo of me and my partner dancing that absolutely radiated our joy and love, and made us look INCREDIBLE even if our faces were silly and we had no idea the photo was evening happening.

When it was time for us to get married we just kept coming back to this photo, thinking if Bobbi managed to make us look this good, and take a photo that we love this much when it wasn’t even our day, imagine what she would pull off on our actual wedding! We also knew that we wanted our wedding to look vibrant and colourful, bursting with life and energy, and that we were way more interested in candid shots of us and our guests than staged formal portraits. One look though Bobbi’s portfolio and confirmed that she was the one for us. All of her wedding photographs just radiate joy, and always seem to so perfectly capture each couple and day.

From our very first consultation meeting working with Bobbi was a delight. She is incredibly professional, calm and confident and very clearly knows what her and her business are about. She was very patient in walking us though all our options for the day, the pros and cons of all of them, and gave us space and time to really figure out what our priority was for her and how to best get us all there. With us living in Vancouver she was very accommodating on working a connection session with us into a very narrow gap in a family vacation, driving out of her way to make it work for us. And by the end of that shoot it felt like we had been friends for ages and we were so pumped to get to celebrate with her on our big day.

On the actual day working with Bobbi was INSANE in the best possible way. We were a little bit nervous as our timeline was tight, and Bobbi doesn’t work with an assistant. We kinda figured there was no way that she would be able to capture everything that was going on. What we didn’t realize is that she is part ninja, part octopus and we are pretty sure she has the ability to actually transform herself into a crane. It was like she was everywhere and no where, you never saw her coming and then there were just the most incredible photographs! She dodged flying axes, climbed ladders, and at one point managed to basically float over top of the dance floor to get arial shots. We are still not sure how she did that. She is also just delightful to be around, she made us and all our guests feel so comfortable with her and her camera. For weeks after the wedding every time I saw someone they asked about Bobbi, and gushed about how lovely she was, how hard she worked, and how fun she was to be around. Now that our photos have come we are even more in awe. They are amazing wedding photos, but even more than that they are perfect snaps of the day. All the smiles and joy, all the chaos and silliness, things we never got to see at the time, all of our most treasured family and friends are perfectly captured the way we love them.

If you are super into pristine staged “perfect” photos, then I can’t tell you if Bobbi is the person for you, because we didn’t even try for any of those. If you want photos that truly tell the story of your day, that revel in every moment, celebrate every dance, and perfectly capture every feeling and well earned bead of sweat, then Bobbi is 1000% the photographer for you!

Where to begin with this beautiful talented women. It’s hard to put into words but, charismatic, engaging, organized and professional come to mind easily. She completely amerces herself and becomes one with the event, one with your friends and family. She captures every emotion, every candid moment and is somehow everywhere and unseen at the same time. The word ninja comes to mind. The ability to make friends with everyone at your event it feels like you’ve know her your whole life. We are ecstatic with the experience and the photos bring you back to the exact memory. Absolutely, non equivocally, one of a kind photographer. There is nothing out there like Bobbi. She’s simply THE BEST.

. You need Bobbi at your event. If you want priceless photos that you'll cherish forever, of a special day that will only happen once in your life, you need Bobbi at your event. She captured our quirky wedding in the most fundamentally understanding way - her photos captured exactly how the evening FELT. She's an incredibly gifted storyteller through a still frame. I cannot recommend her enough.

Bobbi was so amazing to work with! She has such a lovely way about her. She is fun, talented, and so easy going. It made our day feel really relaxing. With her documentary style of photography, we got so many beautiful moments captured. I had complete trust that Bobbi would see and document the important stuff, but also some of the smaller moments. I am truly so thrilled with her work, and I could not be happier I chose her for our wedding day. If you are thinking about it, I HIGHLY recommend Bobbi for your wedding.

Bobbi’s style of photography perfectly aligned with what we were looking for with our elopement. After finding Bobbi, and meeting her online we knew we had found our gal! She was so easy to talk to right off the bat, like we had known her forever. We are so happy with our photos- they truly are works of art. The day was relaxed, not stressful and full of laughs. Thank you Bobbi.

It's both such a privilege and an honour to work with Bobbi during a wedding day. As a wedding planner, working with professional, detailed, and adaptable vendors is so important and Bobbi is nothing short of all three and more. She is so attentive to the couple's wishes leading up to and on the day-of, and is flexible and so easy to work with. Any couple who books Bobbi as their photographer is in the best hands possible. Book her now!
