Sam and Tara laugh a lot together and when you are around them it’s contagious! I love it! It poured pretty much the whole day of their wedding and the venue was outdoors at The Garden in the Woods, but they absolutely did not let the rain ruin their special day. In fact, I think the rain added to the intimacy of the wedding! It was raining during the ceremony so my assistant didn’t get to take any shots she just held the umbrella over me the whole time, thanks Amber! We even did the formals in the rain — everyone was such a great sport about it! The rain did limited the picture time and creativity a bit, but I still got a lot of great images. This crowd sure knows how to have fun! Below are a few of my favorites:
Sam and Tara – It was such an honor to be a part of your wedding day! It was a really fun event! I hope you’re having a fabulous time in Hawaii (and that it’s not raining there!).
I love these girls! I’ve known them my whole life and they are very special to me. They live in California so I rarely see them but they came up to visit last month and we did a mini photo shoot. I especially love the first image because of their expressions, it’s so them!!:
Good friends are special and rare and I feel so blessed you are a part of my life – I love you girls! xoxo-Sara
I photographed Luke and Jen’s wedding last week at Yellow Gold Farm with the reception taking place at Spring Hill Country Club. This was the most fairytale-like wedding that I have ever been a part of! Every detail was carefully though out and my favorite elements were the surprise entrance with a horse drawn carriage and the fog machine during the first dance — how unique and fun!! There are so many great images it’s hard to choose favorites, but here goes:
Thanks Jen and Luke for inviting me to capture your day! I hope that your honeymoon is fairy-esque too!
PS Celebration Florals did the gorgeous flowers!
A few weeks ago Sam and Tara met me in Newport for their engagement session. It was 90 degrees here but when we got to the coast it was 60 degrees, overcast, and windy. We decided to do the shoot anyway, after all that is Oregon weather! We had so much fun walking down the beach getting to know each other and taking fun photos! Below are a few of my favorites:
Thanks Sam and Tara for spending a fun evening with me at the coast! I can’t wait for your September wedding!!
Last Saturday I had the honor of photographing Ace and Kaitlin’s gorgeous wedding at Eagle Rock Lodge. Katilin and Ace did not want many formals so we spent most of our photography time taking creative shots of them and all the great details! This is SO fun for me as the photographer!!! Their wedding was so elegant, full of beautiful details, a gorgeous setting, and the couple was so very sweet – a photographers dream really!!
Here are a bunch of my favorites from the day:
Thank you so much Ace and Kait for asking me to document your perfect day! I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon!!
The stunning flower arrangements were created by my favorite two ladies Peggy and Carol of Celebration Florals!
On the 4th of July I photographed Matt and Ashley’s spectacular wedding in Washington at Skamania Lodge. Their wedding was a gorgeous event that included a lot of wonderful details, and a really fun group of people! Below are some of my favorites from the day:
Thanks Matt and Ashley – I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon!!
