Andrea and Tanner's Wedding | Jacksonville, Oregon

I admit, when I met this sweet couple, their story blew me away. It was filled with hope, redemption, and so much joy…so, getting to photograph their beautiful day was a true privilege. It was truly a day to remember. The details were all carefully planned, from the stunning florals to the seamless schedule of the day, and everything in between. It was filled with laughter and love, and these two and their daughter were surrounded by a community of people who had prayed and cared about them for so long…it made for a sacred and touching wedding ceremony!

Tanner and Andrea had been a couple for almost two years at the time of their wedding. They met when they were going to school, together, and their daughter was born when they weren’t together. This was an unique challenge that today, they are thankful for because of the way God knit them together. “At the time, the situation was a huge struggle”, they shared, “but God was working away in each of us separately, until He had humbled us and called us back to Him. We started dating when our daughter Lyla was one year old, and it was a blessing in all three of our lives. He saw that we had needed work, and his plan was the most perfect one for our lives”. Some of the core values that this pair shares include communication, like-mindedness, and their faith. Their favorite things to do revolve around their family, and they say parenting together has fostered their best memories. About ten months after their wedding, they welcomed their second daughter! They are the sweetest and most beautiful family, and I feel so lucky to have been there to share their day.

Congratulations, sweet Parker family!

SIERRA + BRADY | WEDDING

“All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." -Helen Keller

Eden Vale Winery is one of my favorite places to shoot, and it set the perfect stage for Sierra and Brady’s stunning wedding day in Southern Oregon. This pair put their own touch and personality on just about every aspect of their special day, and the bride herself planned and designed all of the styling, using items from her former company (Minery Rentals, now Moxie). I loved that she put her heart and soul into the details, because it made it even more special. The pair opted to use one of our favorite vendors, Penny and Lulu, for the florals, and they never disappoint. They came up with these extremely special, rustic, textured bouquets that suited the rest of the decor perfectly. Their color scheme included hues of seafood green, pretty pink and corals, and a light grey. It was light and breezy, and I tried to capture all of the tiny and thoughtful touches, like the table settings and archway. I also loved Sierra’s dress, with it’s lace and sheer details along the bodice, and how soft and tasteful it was.

The day was filled with emotional vows, beautiful moments with friends and family, and capped off with the perfect sunset. Everyone danced the night away, and celebrated long after the ceremony was over. It was a huge privilege to document their day, and I wish them both so many years of unending happiness! 

Tom and Tracy | Engagements | Southern Oregon Couples Photographer

We are among some of the luckiest in the world to live in such a beautiful place! Here in our little corner of Oregon, we have access to steep mountaintops, blue skies, and dusty, winding country roads at a moment’s notice. Rarely do you find such picturesque spots for photography...it’s a dream! Of course, I was blessed with a beautiful couple, so that made it an extra great session. Tom and Tracy are recently engaged, and asked me to document their special milestone with a gorgeous, on-location photo session. I cannot wait to help them celebrate their wedding soon!
