Maysara Winery Wedding | Niki + Joe

Niki + Joe both have a such a gentle peacefulness to them.  They felt grounded and oh so enjoyable to be around.  They had their wedding at Maysara Winery, a gorgeous vineyard hidden out in the hills around McMinnville.  My drive to their wedding was spent trying to see the road through hail and very heavy rain.  Mentally I prepared myself for a day of shooting in the rain, considering what indoor/covered locations I could use at Maysara.  I parked my car, the rain still heavy, until about 15 minutes into our shooting time.  The rain then stopped, although the clouds didn't stop threatening rain, but we ended up with a gorgeous day and not another drop of rain.

Maysara Winery Wedding Photographs | Emily + Jason

I really dig Emily and Jason. They made me laugh and they were just straight up, which I appreciated. From the first time we met, I felt like I was a good fit for them, they seemed concerned about capturing the same things I naturally love to capture. People, emotions, Stories, The REAL stuff.

Maysara Winery Wedding Photographs | Amanda + Sol

Amanda and Sol are two really lovely people. They're basically my neighbors (at least there's potential that I could hit their house with a water balloon launcher from my back yard) and our lives overlap in a lot of ways so I've gotten to know them pretty well and they're amazing people that I'm thankful to call friends. It's really special for me to shoot the weddings of people that I know, it helps remind my why I do what I do. Seeing people that I know in photos reminds me how beautiful relationships and moments are and how meaningful it is to have photos of them.

Amanda and Sol had their wedding at Maysara Winery on a gorgeous September day. This was my first time at Maysara, but it is an amazing winery, they have a new-ish building that is a.) massive b.) impressive and c.) massively impressive. (A + B = C is always true).

This was such a joyful day that I was honored to be a part of.
