perfection, gorgeousness, the sweetest couple ever (I could repeat that part a couple times over)… These are all things that would describe Erin and John’s beautiful wedding at the Nines in Portland. It was a classic affair, planned to perfection by the beautiful ladies over at Blush Bridal. Erin was such an elegant bride and I’ll never forget the way her father looked at her during the father/daughter dance, my heart melted. I loved that John and his entourage of men were so ready to cel-e-BRATE, complete with dance floor cameras attached to their chests. And I was amazed at how the heavens smiled on us and the January rain clouds broke to reveal warm sunlight as we headed to the roof for their first look. It was an amazing day and every memory of being there with them makes me smile. They are individually both so strong, intelligent, and competent, but when you see them together and the way he looks at her and they just fit, like they were meant to be partners in life. Erin and John are a true-love-best-friend kind of pair, being around their love is like feeling wrapped up in a security blanket; it’s sweet, quiet, and comfortable. And it was a joy to capture that for them on this day. I hope you enjoy looking through their photos. xoxo

Rebecca + Ryan | Hermiston, OR

Ryan and Rebecca’s wedding day was one full of warmth, community, and love. Due to unexpected life changes during their engagement period, the wedding date and location changed a few times, but even with the plans being bumped back and pushed around, when the day came, it seem exactly as it should have been all along. They got married on a smokey fall evening in the back yard of the North Eastern Oregon home Rebecca grew up in. The day was planned by her and the amazing group women who raised her up. No detail was overlooked, and everything was a labor of joy and love. This couple was surrounded by a community so invested in who they are as individuals and now who they are as one. It was a joy to see and an honor to be a part of. Rebecca and Ryan, you are two beautiful human beings, inside and out, and you make a perfect pair together. Thank you for allowing me to be there to witness this.

Also a big thank you to my friend and fellow photographer Branden Harvey for road tripping from Portland to Hermiston with me to assist me for this gorgeous day.

This week I’m finishing up this gorgeous wedding from right before we moved and just wanted to share what’s been up on my screen. I loved being a part of Erin and Johns absolutely beautiful wedding at the Nine’s in Portland. Everything was perfect – even the sun broke through the thick rain clouds for us just for the afternoon. I can’t wait to finish it up and show you all the rest!
