Megan & Tony {Monmouth, Oregon Wedding Photography}

in ,

This wedding has a special place in my heart, because I got to see two good friends get married after 10 years together, and celebrate their marriage with our college friends and their families. Megan and Tony, I have never seen you two happier. I was so overwhelmed and grateful to have been your photographer. To be able to know you as a couple for years and see you grow and change together has been amazing, and to see how well you complement each other and support each other is even better. The entire day felt so right and filled with joy! Forgive me if this blog post is long, but there were so many moments I just had to include. Check out their engagement portraits from last year here!

Megan, you are SO beautiful!

They did not want to say goodbye, but after portraits they went to their respective areas to prepare for the ceremony.

Megan and Tony chose to have a very intimate, family only ceremony in the gazebo at the wedding venue, Ron's Pond.

"She's my WIFE!"

A few somebodies fell out of their canoe... :)

A million congratulations, you two. I love you both!

i got to see my family in bellingham twice this month. took some pictures during my dad's birthday party, and on several very pleasant walks around town. even though i've never actually lived there, going there still feels like home because of all of the peace, quiet, and loveliness that comes with hanging out with my family. definitely food for my soul.

You may remember Michael and Elise from this engagement session. I was crazy excited for their wedding earlier this month at the Jenkins Estate, and it was just as beautiful and fun as I knew it would be. I loved the unique things about their day that made it so them - from Elise's lovely wedding dress and her exquisite branch-like stackable rings, to the gorgeous centerpieces that Elise's mom created. Enjoy!

A few of my details from Alicia & Michael's gorgeous wedding are included in the Summer/Fall 2012 issue of Portland Bride & Groom magazine - check out the online feature here, or pick up the magazine at many locations in Portland! I assisted this wedding for Jay Eads. He was so generous to include me in the feature, many photographers would not do that and I'm so grateful!

I was delighted to 2nd shoot for my friend Kaitlin of Love Lit Photography (see her post of the day here) for Torii & Drew's beautiful wedding at the Aerie at Eagle Landing. It was a dream to shoot - wonderful people, an adorable couple, and the sunshine! We were lucky to get that in March! What a great way to start the 2012 wedding season. Congratulations, Torii & Drew!

harriette is my best friend's younger sister, so i've known her for many years. not to be totally cheesy but she has grown up to be so beautiful and talented! she has always been quite the fashonista, and she's now studying at the art institute of portland. i photographed her senior portraits a few years ago, and was excited to get to shoot with her again for fun. we got together for a last-minute test shoot before it started pouring rain - can't wait to work with you again soon, harriette!
