Cheri + Steve's day-after shoot

We met Steve and Cheri for an extra photo shoot the day after their wedding. We started at the lovely Classical Chinese Garden in Old Town and then ended the shoot at the Pittock Mansion. It was nice to get a little extra time with these two and to photograph Cheri in her purple gown.

Cheri + Steve's wedding

Cheri and Steve were married this past Fourth of July at the Abernathy Center in Oregon City. The day had perfectly overcast skies which are perfect for us photographers! As you can see Cheri is absolutely stunning. Not only is she gorgeous, but she is the sweetest bride ever! I just loved being around her all day. Cheri and Steve did nothing but enjoy one another and have a great time with their friends and family. Their easy going and kind personalities led to a smooth, relaxed and romantic day. One of the best moments to experience was when Steve got to see his bride for the first time. To say the least, he was completely taken back by his bride. They laughed, hugged and even danced a little, acting as if we weren't even there. They seemed to just be lost in the moment with one another. It was really sweet.

We were able to spend the day working alongside some talented vendors...

Laurel + Matt's wedding

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!
