Byron and Tiffanie – Astoria, OR wedding photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing Byron and Tiffanie on August 14th, 2010. It was honestly one of the most fun, and beautiful weddings I’ve ever been to. Byron and Tiffanie put so much time and thought into their wedding day, it was incredible. Everything they did was for a certain meaning. You see, Byron and Tiffanie met in Astoria at the Sunday Market while buying hot dogs. They felt an instant connection and just two years later they were wed. My huband and I stayed the weekend in Astoria to photograph the wedding and the day after the wedding we did photos of them at the Sunday market and on the base where Byron is a member of the US coast guard. I will post the “day after’ photos at another time.

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!!

A “day after” session – Longview, WA Wedding photography

On July 17th I photographed Michelle and Kyle’s wedding. Michelle wanted to get some family photos done, along with some photos with different style and location for their wedding photos. So I suggested doing a “day after” session. “Day after” sessions are perfect for brides who want something fun and unique to document their big day. I do them the morning after, a week after, or even years after a couple has tied the knot.

We met out at Willow Grove beach here in Longview and started out with family photos and then continued on with some fun shots with them all dressed up.

Here’s a small sampling of the fun we had with their session!

I adore this set…

She could easily be a model…

these moments are my favorite.

Tyler and Gina – Astoria, Oregon wedding

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!!

My weekend…

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!
