Just one from this mornings “day after” session with my bride and groom from Friday’s wedding. They decided before hand that they wanted a “day after” session to capture some moments of the two of them without the rush of their wedding.  I enjoy these sessions quite a bit since I get a lot more artistic freedom then I do at a regular event where we are on a time schedule and multiple locations aren’t always possible.

They are an absolutely stunning couple and it turned out to be a perfect morning. I have many more I will share later, but this one caught my eye right away.

Tyler and Gina wed in Astoria, Oregon on June 27th, 2009. I was the lucky one to be chosen to be their wedding photographer.

They exchanged their vows on a beautiful grassy spot overlooking the ocean. It was a bright and sunny day. Every detail was perfectly planned out with gorgeous colors of lime green and blue.  The reception was held at the Red Building in The Loft. It’s the same spot where Anne and Jimmy got married on May 16th. I’m in love with this location and often recommend it to brides when they’re looking for a place to have their wedding.

Gina and her bridesmaids traveled to the wedding by taking the trolley. We did some of the formals inside of the antique trolley. The conductor even gave us some history as he drove us on in to the ceremony site. The woodwork was absolutely amazing and it made for a unique look. I have so many photos from their big day that it was hard to choose even a small sampling of my favorites.

Thank you so much Tyler and Gina for having me be a part of your special day. Congrats and may you have a long and happy marriage!!

To the friends and family of Tyler and Gina, go ahead and leave comments and well wishes. I know they’ll see them!!

Okay I’ve officially decided that I’m in love with Astoria. A beautiful location plus a completely gorgeous couple equals Jenica doing the happy dance. (I’m loving my job!!!)

Here are just a few more of my favorites from Saturday. I’m sure I will be posting more later. This wedding was amazing!

Yesterday I spent the day photographing an absolutely gorgeous wedding in Astoria, Oregon. I’m completely exhausted and ready for bed, but I wanted to show this quick preview for Gina and Tyler. Mondays are ridiculously busy for me so I figure I’d better show it before my work day starts early tomorrow morning.

I want to give a special thanks to my awesome hubby for not only watching the kids while I worked all weekend, but for telling me to photograph this shot from this angle.  I personally think he’d make an amazing photographer. Unfortunately for me, he’s not interested.

Congrats Gina and Tyler. I will be posting more really soon!

Troy and Kaylyn are an amazing couple. They both have hearts of gold and I’m absolutely thrilled that I got to be a part of their big day. After a year of preparation they finally tied the knot. I was there (along with some awesome second shooters) to document the day.

They got married at the Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland, WA. The staff was amazing. They even drove us in golf carts out to a pond to get some great shots of Troy and Kaylyn. This was my very first wedding at the golf course and I was more than impressed.

Kaylyn has such a sense of style and it showed throughout her whole wedding. The flowers and decorations were gorgeous. A lot of her friends and family pitched in to help. It was amazing to see how many people loved and supported Troy and Kaylyn. They are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in their lives.

Here’s a quick preview of the wedding. Click HERE to view the wedding slideshow to see many more images from the wedding.

I worked on the slideshow for the past week. It has over 180 images in it. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to put it all together. Kudos to all the folks that do these all the time.

Whew!!!

I really wanted to make it special for them. I hope you enjoy it!
