wrapping up my 2015 wedding blog posts (fiiiiiinally) and i can think of no better way to cap it off than with Rachel & Andrew's stunning and exuberant wedding! you may remember these two from their fun lifestyle engagement session (check it out here).

Rachel says it best: "We threw a big party and called it a wedding." But what a gorgeous party it was! Vintage details paired with unique touches like gold animals and dinosaurs accenting the florals and place cards; Rachel's exquisite beaded dress - everything came together with a Gatsby-esque flair and the North Star Ballroom was a perfect venue. And they had quite the dance party!!

It was truly a pleasure to be part of this day. Many thanks to my awesome second shooter, Sarah Valentine - she is always wonderful to work with and some of her images are mixed in below.

Nicole and Joe are so awesome. I knew their wedding was going to be amazing from the first time we chatted through email - and I had the best time with them on their engagement session (see the blog post here)! Their day was full of quirky and personal details inspired by Pokémon - invitations, centerpieces, delicate beaded backdrop behind the dessert table, tissue-paper bouquets, jewelry, Poké Ball ring holders: everything was so colorful and fun, just like the two of them. It's been a pleasure getting to know them and share in this time in their lives and I know they have plenty of wonderful adventures ahead!

you may remember these two from their lovely engagement session (check out the post here) - we were able to shoot part of their session at their wedding venue, which made it extra special to come back to Lewis & Clark Catering on their big day this past fall! Matthew and Kelly are the sweetest couple. Their wedding was so much fun and I truly enjoyed working with them.

an absolutely exquisite, intimate backyard wedding. two of the coolest people you will ever meet, and their hilarious, welcoming, and all-around-awesome family and friends.

there aren't enough words for how warm and lovely this couple is. a bride who will climb halfway up the dune at Cape Kiwanda in her wedding dress for her first look. a groom who is waiting up there for her, and when he sees her has love and amazement written all over his face. he is such a romantic, and she has the most wonderful infectious laugh! these two are a great team, and their chemistry is just something beautiful to be around. their day was so special, and i was absolutely honored to be part of it.

Abbi and Keith, i wish you so much happiness!
