From the moment I met Lauren and Chris I knew two things. 1.) They were really awesome and I really enjoyed them. 2.) Their wedding would be so awesome and right up my alley. Those first impressions were correct, and I spent such a fun day with them photographing their wedding in Portland two weeks ago.
Portland springs are iffy, what I mean by that is it may downpour, or it may be the most amazing perfect feeling day you can imagine, and luckily Lauren and Chris had the latter for their wedding day, the weather was so perfect out, not too hot and not too cold, and if you’ve never experienced a perfect day in the PNW, just know that you’re really missing out.
What I love about photographing weddings is how present it allows me to be. I’m observing what’s happening so carefully and intently, I’ve never been hunting, but I suppose it’s kind of like that, I’m hunting for special and meaningful moments, and this day was full of them.
Ok, I’ll stop rambling, and let the photos tell the story of their incredible day…
