I had such a wonderful time with Arwen and Peter and their amazing family and friends. The wedding was a beautiful celebration of life and love, and their heartwarming story together. They are some of the kindest, most laid back, and fun loving people I’ve worked with and it was such a joy to capture their *1st* special day together. I say first because their legal matrimony is being held in Australia, where Peter is from and where they will be starting their lives together. This stateside celebration was all about the coming together of family and friends to send them out. In fact, Arwen and Peter even chose to have their guests marry them during the ceremony! Everyone had copies of the vows and read them over the couple as a group. Many happy and sad tears were shed and much laughter and dancing followed. The evening was beautiful in every way. I’m so excited for both of them and the adventure ahead of them, but Corvallis is definitely going to miss such a wonderful woman!

A major thank you to Peggy and Carol at Celebration Florals who created some AMAZING bouquets for the bridal party!
