I've been looking forward to this wedding all summer long - Laura was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed quite a few years ago now, and she was getting married on Whidbey Island, a spot where I had the pleasure of photographing a friend's wedding a few summers back. There was a lot of smoke coming down from forest fires in Canada, so the usual beautiful weather was replaced with some fog and haze, and an amazing orange sun and bright pink moon - not exactly what Laura had planned for, but really beautiful in its own right. . .
Some days, you work with a bride with the timeless beauty of a 1950's movie star, and you get to the gorgeous wedding venue to find out she's wearing a stunning tiered lace wedding gown, and her handsome fiancé and both of their lovely families are incredibly easy-going and fun, and all of their flowers and signs and details are picture-perfect, and everything goes off without a hitch. As a wedding photographer, those are really good days. . .
I love a big New York family on a wedding day - it reminds me of home. So I had an absolute blast photographing Bethany and Parker's beautiful Rock Creek Country Club wedding with their big families and lovely friends. I had been looking forward to their wedding ever since their gorgeous Cathedral Park engagement session last fall, and they were just as cute as I remembered them.
What a gorgeous wedding! This amazing couple and their friends and family really knew how to have a great party - the music, the dancing, the Old Fashioneds, the sharp wardrobes. Such a photographer's delight. Add to that the beautiful, heartfelt ceremony and it really was a perfect wedding day. I'm so glad to be the one to capture it!
This Crag Rat Hut wedding was incredibly personal and amazingly beautiful. Even just editing the ceremony photos, weeks after the lovely event, made me tear up all over again - there were so many beautiful, memorable moments over the course of a gorgeous day. From the brides' excitement during their first look, to the prayer sang in three part harmony by the whole group and the brides tearing up during their ceremony, to the dinner made with the help of friends and family - everything was unique to this amazing couple . . .
Rhea and Matt's wedding ceremony in front of a grove of Aspen trees at the New Frontier Ranch in Ashland, Oregon was just unbelieveably beautiful. Rhea is an old friend who moved from Portland back home to southern Oregon a few years ago, so it was such a delight to get to travel down to Ashland for her wedding, meet her family (old and new!), and be a part of their big day. I'm so excited to share their photos!
Adam and McKenzie's Cornelius Pass Roadhouse wedding is coming along so well! It was a truly beautiful day from start to finish and I can't wait to show it off - here's a tiny sneak peek for now...
Sarah and Maggie's wedding was one of the most touching and heartfelt events I have ever had the privilege to photograph, and the photos are beautiful to boot! I can't wait to share them all, but in the meantime, here's a little sneak preview...
