The ceremony and reception was at the Fort George Brewery in Astoria, Oregon.  Holy smokes what an AWESOME venue. We had rain the first hour for formal photos which led to some pretty amazing, creative shots. God was listening to my prayers for a break in the weather and we got some amazing outdoor photos as well.

I could NOT have done this without my amazing second shooter Amanda Wilson (She rocks!!!!!) Some of these fantastic images are by her.

So, enough of the chatter. Here’s the super awesome wedding of Heidi and Barry.

Ceremony was at Chively Park.

Reception was at Baked Alaska

We photographed them at the Astoria Column, downtown Astoria, and on the pier in Astoria.

(Hubby and I stayed at the Commodore Hotel which is new and AWESOME by the way!!!)

I wish I could explain in words how wonderful this all was. So since my writing skills aren’t that great, here are the photos…

And yes, you’re seeing this correctly, her dress was blue!!! It was absolutely stunning and matched Byron’s uniform just perfectly!

They had their wedding rings custom made just for them. The rope is from a piece of the cord that is used by the US coast guard. Tiffanie studies birds (sorry I don’t know the technical term) so Byron drew these birds and they had them engraved on the side of her ring.

How cool is that??!!!!

Seriously, best most meaningful ring shot EVER!!!

Their “first look”

the one to the left reminds me of a heart. The way the trees cover over them, the way their bodies are. I can’t explain it, but I love this one!!

we considered going to the top of the column, but there were just way too many people. If you look close you can see them all looking down at the bride and groom!

LOVE this cake.

The Baked Alaska’s food was so good that Derrick and I ate there twice while we were staying in Astoria!!

how cool is this wall??!!!!

the Trolley!!!

Absolute favorite photo of the day!!!

Huge canvas on your wall. Okay?

okay.

Congrats to you both!!! Thank you SOOOOOO much for hiring me to do your photos!!

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!!

The wedding took place at The Loft in the Cannery Pier Hotel. You can see the website here. It’s a beautiful location. Anne and Jimmy had every little detail perfectly planned out. I am totally in love with the blue shoes she wore.

Anne chose timeless black for her bridesmaids dresses.

Simply perfect.

They are a perfect fit.

Some quiet time together before the ceremony.

the details were stunning.

The toast was one of the most entertaining I’ve seen. All the guests were in stitches. One of these days I need to add audio to my photos.

These singles were extremely ready to get hitched. Check out this action!

The Cannery Pier Hotel in Astoria, Oregon.
