Best of Oregon Bride Magazine Real Weddings: Christa-Taylor

I was so delighted (and surprised!) to see 2 out of 10 of the "Best Real Weddings" were shot by our studio. You've seen these lovely weddings on our blog before, but to know that other audiences were inspired by them as well is very satisfying. Solo Deo Gloria. 

Here's a link to the Feature- and a few highlights from each of the two weddings :D 

Happy New Year 2016!

Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast Wedding: Kate + Casey

It was such a beautiful drive, I couldn't believe I got to be outside on sucha a gorgeous day. Winding through the hills above Hood River, we headed to the quintessential Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast for the long awaited wedding celebration. 

 The guests were marveling at the beautiful landscaping and with the backdrop of MT Hood, it was breathtaking. Everything went beautifully. It really did! I loved working with my second shooter Amy, we were having such a good time it didn't even feel like we were working a wedding. The details were stunning, everywhere you turned there was something beautiful to look at and capture. 

  But best of all, was witnessing the love between these families. It was obvious that Kate and Casey are dearly loved. There's something so precious about tight-knit families that truly love each other. So fitting that Kate's parents also celebrated their anniversary, what special memories. 

Resort at the Mountain Wedding: Sean + Linda

This wedding blew my mind. It was what every photographer dreams of. A fantastic couple with supremely good taste and a thoughtful well organized team. It was the best of the best coming together to celebrate and capture a very special love story.

Linda and Sean are very different, but simultaneously a beautiful compliment to each other. Isn't that what makes a good marriage? Two different people that help each other grow and become better together. Sacrificial love is the heartbeat of marriage, and these two have it. They both bring out the best in the other, they both are happiest when they can just relax and enjoy the other. As a photographer, it is such a privilege to be an outsider and watch it all unfold. It still gets me emotional every time ;) 

  This is the story of their day :)
