I can hardly believe that I'm posting this less than 24 hours after shooting this wedding, BUT this is one of those weddings that is very difficult to keep my editing hands off of. Haley and Zach got married yesterday at the absolutely stunning Troutdale House, in Troutdale, OR. Everyone's fingers were crossed for an outdoor wedding, but we were at the mercy of the weather. Rain had been falling off and on all morning, but as the day proceeded, everyone remained joyful, and just a half an hour before the wedding was scheduled to begin, the rain stopped for the last time. Haley and Zach got the outdoor wedding they were hoping for, and let me tell you, it couldn't have been any more perfect. You can see the love and adoration for each other all over their faces. The ceremony was beautiful and unique, infusing various cultural traditions important to the couple. Then, to kick off the reception, Haley's dance group performed several dances, and for the last dance, the bride joined in. This wedding was truly a pleasure to be a part of and one of the most stunningly unique and enchanting weddings I've had the pleasure of photographing. Congratulations to Haley and Zach!
I recently had the privilege of photographing yet another cousin's wedding! Shayna and I grew up together and it seems like just yesterday we, together with several of our friends, would meet up at her place after school (jr. high), jamming out to Weird Al songs, and partaking in juicy gossip in order to successfully end our days. But, we've grown up (thank goodness) and on September 20th, Shayna and her now husband Buddy got married at the gorgeous Heathman Lodge in Vancouver in a touching ceremony that left almost no eye dry. It's always an extra special event when I get to photograph things with/for family and this wedding was no exception. They each wrote their own heartfelt vows, the kiddos were as cute as could be, and the father/daughter dance had me wiping away tears behind my camera. I am so thrilled to see Shayna and Buddy so happy and in love! Congrats you two!!!
