The wedding of Tom and Catherine was absolute perfection. The moment we arrived at the location, I knew it would be amazing. Both Tom and Catherine are such fun, wonderful people. The wedding was held at Catherine’s parents house in Oysterville, WA. They used flowers from their own garden and every detail was so carefully thought out. The guests were treated to BBQ ribs and they danced the night away.

Here’s some favorites from their big day….

 

 

 

The day of this session the chance of rain was 90%. Normally we reschedule in these crazy rainy circumstances but Paul was only on leave for a short time before he had to head back to his job with the Army. Colby didn’t mind getting rained on so we went for it and decided the photos were more important than worrying about a little bit of rain. (I LOVE this couple!)

We arrived and the rain stopped. As luck would have it, the sun came out and we caught a rainbow. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. (Or  rather God is pretty amazing and wanted us to have a perfect session. 🙂 )

The session lasted less than 40 minutes, but it was one of my favorite engagement sessions to date.

Congrats on your engagement Colby and Paul. I cannot WAIT for your wedding!!!

 

 

Justin and Lindsey got married at the Lewis River Golf course just two short months ago. Everything about their wedding was perfect and flawless. Lewis River Golf course is one of my absolute favorite venues. It’s so incredibly beautiful and the staff is wonderful.

I got all emotional during the ceremony when Justin gave a special ring to his new daughter. It’s moments like these that make me cry behind the camera.

I’m so incredibly thankful I got to be a part of their special day. And since writing isn’t my specialty, here’s the beautiful photos…..

 

 

I’ve been so excited to post this wedding!!!!  I can’t even describe how much I adore this couple and how perfect their day was. Every last detail was fabulous and their coordinator did the most AMAZING job making sure things ran smoothly. I’ve worked with many coordinators and Muse events is by far one of the absolute best in industry. One of the assistants even helped me get into the water for one of the photos below. 🙂

Super special thanks to my good friend Kel Ward for being my second shooter!! Girl, you ROCK!!!

 

Jennifer and Adrian, I wish you many MANY years of happiness together. I can’t thank you enough for trusting me with your big day. <3

And since only 5% of people who see my site actually read what I write;

On June 30th, 2012, Hilary and Barry wed at Emmanuel Lutheran Church here in Longview, WA. Their ceremony was filled with a lot of love and laughter. Even the officiant cried. It was the sweetest ceremony I have seen in a very long time. Their reception was at The Monticello Hotel (one of my absolute favorite places here in town!!!).

Hilary and Barry were the couple from this engagement session. During that fun session, I knew we’d be great friends and their wedding day would be asbolutely perfect. God was awesome and held off the rain when we were doing the formal photos. You would never know looking at the photos that it was a 50% chance of rain that day.

I’m so incredibly blessed to have such amazing clients who trust me with their very important day. Thank you SOOOOO much Hilary and Barry for trusting me with your memories. I hope you enjoy these photos for many generations to come.

 

Super huge thanks to Amanda Wilson for shooting with me. Love ya girl!!
