As I finished up working on Laurel and Matt's wedding photos, I realized the bright, vibrant, colorful photos reflect this couple perfectly. These two are so full of life and laughter. The entire day was playful, fun and colorful.
The bride and groom session was a little out of the ordinary. As soon as we started to work with them alone, Laurel made a comment about how it'd be cool to have her dad's gun for some photos. Me: "your dad has a gun? here? now? lets do it!" First ever photos with a bride and a gun. I think they're pretty fun :) Then, as we headed towards a red barn on the property, a giant, yes GIANT, turkey began to follow us. Thankfully Laurel's dad was close by to scare the huge bird away so we could take some photos. Definitely some unique photos for these two.
The day transformed into a huge dance party. The dance floor was packed and everyone was having so much fun. As you can see, even Laurel's grandma Thelma was out on the dance floor living it up! Great people and a fun couple. Congrats to Laurel and Matt!

Jen + Ben's wedding ~ 06.26.10
Jen and Ben were married last month out at the gorgeous Zenith Vineyard outside of Salem Oregon. These two are sweet and light hearted. Looking over these photos made me smile time and again. Some of the most touching moments of the day were when Jen's father saw her for the first time as a bride, and another sweet moment was when tears began flowing as they read their vows to one another. Jen was by far one of the most giddiest and most excited brides I've seen! She was so full of smiles and laughter before the ceremony. Once the ceremony was all said and done, her nerves subsided and it was clear she was so happy to be with her groom. Jen and Ben take good care of one another and make eachother laugh so much. One last moment that I loved to photograph was during the bride and groom photo session. The couple wanted to practice their first dance. It made for some great photos as the sun flairs sparked over the roof of the barn we were using for a backdrop.
Congrats to the happy couple!
Thanks to some of our favorite vendors that made this wedding fantastic!
