A Springtime Oregon Garden Wedding

Perhaps it was the amazing wedding party...Or the awesome DJ...Maybe it was the perfect weather at the Gorgeous venue...Would you call me cheesy if I said that it was simply two super chill people who planned an awesome day focused on all of the right things? Well, whatever it was, there was something super-special about Kyle & Mercedes' wedding day. After weeks of torrential downpour, the rain stopped and we all got to celebrate a seriously gorgeous day that these two lucky people will get to remember and celebrate for the rest of their lives. Congratulations Kyle & Mercedes! Your wedding was as awesome as you are! See you soon!!

Lauren & Emily's Backyard Wedding

This was my 2nd wedding back after having Rose. It was my first travel wedding with baby (Danville, CA!). It was also my cousin Emily's wedding (It was her wife Lauren's wedding too.) :)  That made this one extra special - Emily & I were born just a few months apart - our mamas were pregnant together and both loved the same baby name - it's always been kind of a cool connection for me.
I was SUPER-EXCITED to get to photograph their wedding, to have it be the first wedding that Rose attended, to get to see lots of wonderful family members - so many happy things!
Lauren & Emily are an amazing couple, a pair who truly make this planet a cooler place to live in. I loved that Lauren wore her mom's wedding dress (it is FABULOUS!) I loved that friends and family were a huge priority for their wedding day. I loved the family style seating, the awesome DJ, the Hora, their perfectly laid back blend of non-traditional and traditional wedding elements - Definitely one of my favorite summer days this year!  Emily & Lauren - I love you guys! Thank you for including me in your awesomeness!

Ron's Pond Wedding: Emily & Lee

Emily & Lee had a wonderfully intimate wedding with friends and family at Ron's Pond. Their handmade wedding details & thoughtfully planned ceremony & reception were a perfect reflection of Emily & Lee and their relationship. It was a wonderful day, and I could tell you all the reasons why, but you should probably just see for yourself.  :)
