in honor of these two getting married tomorrow, I’m excited to share Cedar and Kyrie’s beautiful engagement session! we spent a cold and gorgeous winter afternoon at Short Beach on the Oregon Coast, finding agates and braving the icy ocean, albeit briefly. i absolutely can’t wait to photograph their wedding on Friday!
“being rock, being gas, being mist, being Mind, being the particles traveling among the galaxies at the speed of light, you have come here, my beloved. and your blue eyes shine, so beautiful, so deep. you have taken the path traced for you from the non-beginning and the never-ending. you say that on your way here you have gone through many millions of births and deaths. innumerable times you have been transformed into firestorms in outer space. you have used your own body to measure the age of the mountains and rivers. you have manifested yourself as trees, grass, butterflies, single-celled beings, and as chrysanthemums. but the eyes with which you look at me this morning tell me that you have never died. your smile invites me into the game whose beginning no one knows, the game of hide-and-seek.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
like most couples getting married in 2020, Kent and Lizzy had to make several changes in their wedding plans, and they rolled with the changes with grace and positivity. they were married on a beautiful fall day at Indian Beach in Ecola State Park, supported by loved ones and a few doggy friends as well.
i love the way the light changed during the afternoon - from cloudy to brilliant sun, shifting to golden hour and the dreamy colors of the sunset. it was such a pleasure to be part of their wedding!
so excited to be sharing Carly and Mischa's engagement photos from earlier this year - because i get to blog their wedding next!! yay!
this was such a beautiful session... nothing like that wintry Oregon Coast light, and these two are just breathtaking together.
a truly stunning couple, perfect beachy vibes, a timeless and elegant celebration with a super fun dance party, plus gorgeous light alllll day - Martha and Rocky's wedding was amazing!
