The weather at the Oregon Coast can be a little unpredictable, but on this wedding day, the weather was almost perfect! Tony and September celebrated their wedding at Chinook Winds Casino on a weekday. It was a small wedding filled with family and friends.  Some of my favorite moments from the day are the bouquets that they made in their hotel room the night before, the beaded barefoot sandals, September's family heirloom cameo necklace, the rings, and absolutely my most favorite was Tony and September's fun and expressive personalities and love for each other!

A sunshine day in May in Oregon is a sight to behold and that was the kind of day that blessed Alex and Brittany on their wedding day!  Brittany and Alex celebrated with family and friends near Monroe, Oregon at The Inn at Diamond Woods and it was a blue sky day dappled with some distant clouds. This venue overlooks Diamond Woods Golf Course and the day was so clear that you could see the other side of the Willamette Valley in the distance!
It was an absolutely beautiful day full of laughter, hugs, and dancing! It was a stormy week at the Oregon Coast, which led up to the wedding day of Courtney and Chris at Chinook Winds Casino. The rain brought the ceremony indoors, but it didn't stop the celebration for friends and family who all traveled up to hundreds of miles to witness this marriage.  This wedding kicks off my season of 2022 weddings and I'm so excited that this was the first one of the year, because even with the rain, the sunset was sensational and the rain held off just long enough to capture some amazing moments on the beach.
Micky and Nathan's wedding day was modern, so unique, and memorable! Their short and wonderful ceremony was at Salem's Riverfront Carousel overlooking Riverfront Park on a beautiful sunny October morning. I loved the twist of Micky's navy jumper with fabulously sparkly boots and the added flair Nathan's top hat and cane.  Directly after their "I do's," they went on their first Carousel ride as husband and wife. They were full of laughter and hand holding as their family joined in on the second round of hand carved and painted horses under the canopy of colorful ribbons. And if you thought the carousel was the really special part, just wait until you see all the details that went into the reception. You have to check out the guest book, cake, and tasty drinks created by Divine Distillers!
From the florals, dress, rings, absolutely amazing sunset, or the fun dancing at the end, I really don't know where to start. Nikki and Adam's wedding day was so wonderful and I just loved capturing all of the moments.  I hope you're ready, because this was the most difficult wedding to pare down for a sneak peek. This destination wedding at the Oregon Coast was so amazing and with it being Oregon, the weather can be unpredictable and I think it was absolutely wonderful, especially for the sunset photos. This was the best sunset I've seen at the coast all summer!
I've been asked how far in advance weddings need to be booked and honestly, if I have your date available, I can photograph your wedding. Katii reached out to be five days before her wedding because unforeseeable circumstances made it impossible for her original photographer to capture her wedding day. We started the day in a cute, boho inspired AirBnb with the ladies getting ready and then we hopped in our cars and headed to Reed College for bridal photos and first looks.  We found a beautiful brick building with a cascading staircase and greenery for bridal party photos, plus the first look with the groom and her father.
The reception hall was wonderfully decorated with all kinds of details and delicious traditional Russian food. The ceremony was beautiful from the candle lined aisle to the first kiss when they were pronounced as husband and wife. |
