Wahclella Falls Elopement

Wahclella Falls is a breathtaking waterfall just right off the gorge. Photographing a bit of Jordan and Cassidy's love story here was one of the highlights of my summer. I love a couple who is willing to take that risk, to trust me and go with my crazy ideas- even if it means getting a bit sweaty along the way. 

  While not an official elopement, (more of a day-after weddingportrait session) I think Wahchella is the ideal spot for an elopement. Raise your hand if you agree!

Leftbank Annex Wedding: Summer + Dylan

Leftbank Annex holds a special place in my heart, as it's where Dan and I got married not long ago. To be invited back to Leftbank and enjoy Summer and Dylan's vibrant, love-filled celebration was tremendously satisfying and brought back so many happy memories. 

  I love Summer and Dylan's story, because it truly exemplifies that sometimes you are just meant to be with that ONE person. They were matched originally on E-harmony, but after a period, Summer very graciously broke it off. It was, in fact, the way she respectfully communicated with him that made Dylan pursue her AGAIN when E-harmony matched them up for the 2nd time months later! This time, it was clear, there was no going back, as Dylan said during his vows: "You are the woman I always hoped for, the woman of my dreams". 

  It was a beautiful wedding, with Summer's personality and exquisite taste evident in every detail. Scroll below to find a list of the talented vendors for this Leftbank Annex Wedding:

Labish Gardens Wedding: Sara + Jered

I loved Labish Gardens. It was a cooker of a day, but it was SO beautiful and every guest was so happy to be there, no one seemed to mind the heat (and a great whiskey sour sure doesn't hurt ;)
Located just outside Salem Oregon, Labish Gardens is surrounded by rolling farm fields and boasts a golden hour sunset that is hard to beat. 

 Sara and Jered have special ties to the property as her father owns and cultivates the site and while familiar, it holds special memories. For us as photographers, it was so precious to see family from both sides come together and support the couple all on family property where love and sweat went into all the wedding details.
