Rachael and Thomas | Mississippi Wedding

The easiest question we've had to answer: would you like to fly to Mississippi and shoot our wedding at a pre Civil War era Mansion? Ummmm, yes please!!! It's only fitting that Rachael and Thomas would have their wedding at a place with so much history. The two of them are digging their roots deep and building something really special together. From our first email correspondence with Rachael, we knew that we had run across an awesome couple. We have never met two more genuine and generous people. They don't take themselves or others too seriously, and spent most of their time making sure everybody was comfortable and having a good time. Thanks Rachael and Thomas for trusting us enough to fly us all the way from our rainy corner of the world. We were honored. And thanks to all the family and friends who made us feel so welcome. We learned that Southern hospitality is real and we would travel that distance any day for such wonderful folks! Make sure to give us a call if you ever make it to Oregon. Now it's time for all you Oregonians to show Rachael and Thomas some Northwest love in the blog comments.

Leah

Special thanks to Brooke with the lovely blonde locks for "introducing" us to Rachael and making the whole thing possible.

Rachael, you are gorgeous!

Rachael's dad had one simple request, he asked that we not shoot the picture of him walking his daughter down the aisle straight from the balcony, getting only the top of his head. So Mr. Walker, this ones for you!

Thomas and Rachael's friend sort of cut in on the cake feeding process. Hilarious!

Amy & Kelly | Maternity

We got to be a part of Amy and Kelly's wedding day last year, so we were super excited to find out they are having a baby! One of the things Leah and I love about our job is getting to watch families as they grow and change. It's the biggest compliment in the world when someone hires you not once, but twice! I always get pumped up and feel like I'm going to see old friends. Amy and Kelly, it was great to catch up with you guys. We can't wait to meet your sweet little girl.Bryan

Stephanie & Brandon | A Vineyard Wedding

When another photographer asks me to photograph their wedding it's an honor, and also really scary. Stephanie runs her own photography business Vivid Moments. Take time to check out her website and work! Despite my fears, Stephanie and Brandon's wedding day was wonderful to photograph. They were both very laid back and all of their friends and family were so incredibly kind to us. Stephanie and Brandon have a deep connection that you don't have to look far to see. When you see them together, it's like they've already been married for years and know each other really well. All of these things made for such a fun day behind our cameras for Leah and I.

Seeing each other for the first time...

Stephanie sewed this green fabric into her dress herself...YEA, AWESOMEl!

Their wedding was at Beckenridge Vineyard a gorgeous vineyard in the hills right outside of Dallas Oregon. It was Leah and my first time shooting there.

Brandon is a graphic designer and did all of their design work...I loved it, such organic and elegant design.

Stephanie's Dad tore it up on the dance floor! He is also the first father of the bride that has ever started dancing with me while I was taking photos!

Here's a picture of Leah and I with the couple, I put it in black on white so you can't see how sunburned I am, due to my extreme whiteness. I think my glasses are crooked, but some of that may just be my face :)

Stephanie and Brandon, Leah and I had such a wonderful time at your wedding. All of the thoughtfulness that you put into the details was stunning, beautiful and so much fun to photograph. The connection that you guys share is not something that everyone has so really cherish it. Thank you for trusting us to capture your wedding day!

Leah and I are headed to the Newberg farmers market and if you're in the area come on down! We're trying to get lots of support for it so it keeps going and more and more farmers keep coming.
