McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Wedding - Dane & Kirsten
Dane and Kirsten are two of the most caring, down-to-earth, genuinely sweet people you'll ever meet, and their wedding reflected their hearts perfectly. They shared their vows with each other in a small clearing underneath a tree, and celebrated their marriage in a barn surrounded by friends and family. Little personal touches could be seen all throughout their wedding--from the Catholic hymns sung at their ceremony to Kirsten's grandmother's hand-crochetted doilies decorating each table. Even the flowers they picked were from a running joke in the family that Kirsten's favorite flowers were "wildflowers" (a.k.a. weeds). Friends and family pitched in from all around to help the couple create all their DIY decorations: wooden table rounds, calligraphed chalkboard signs, and handmade banners. Yard games provided endless family fun, and their violin & accordion duo playing through out the ceremony and reception made it a whimsical afternoon. Sentimental toasts commenced and as guests reached out their hands in prayer, the love of each guest towards Dane & Kirsten felt tangible in the air. Finally, as the sun set behind the barn, the lights dimmed and the music turned up as the guests retreated to the dance floor to continue the celebration.
Congratulations Dane and Kirsten! We are so happy to share this day and all its memories with you.

Black Butte Ranch, Oregon Wedding - Tyler & Amy
The skies were blue and the sun shining as Tyler & Amy said their vows in front of a breathtaking backdrop of aspen trees. Amy is from California, Tyler from New York, they got engaged in Paris, and married in Oregon. So naturally, a theme of maps were a fun, little part of their wedding. The view from the ceremony and backyard-deck reception was breathtaking with Mt. Bachelor's snow-capped mountain in the distance. We stole the couple away for a bit to capture some romantic portraits of the two of them while guests took in the beautiful surroundings. At the reception, guests had fun making their own ice-cream sandwiches from a bounty of home-made cookies, roasting the couple during toasts, and partying it up on the dance floor. I would tell you all about how lively their dance party was and how much fun we had just watching it all play out, but I think the photos speak for themselves. :)
Thank you Tyler & Amy for letting us be a part of your wedding day! We're so thankful you let us come along for the ride.
