Bridal Veil Lakes Wedding Photographs | Crystal + Chris

Crystal and Chris are a wonderful and thoughtful couple, I looked forward to shooting their wedding this entire last year and it/they certainly did not disappoint. You may remember the monsoon that came through Portland in late September, well that happened on the day of Crystal and Chris' wedding which was at Bridal Veil Lakes. The rains held out just long enough for us to do a bunch of photos outside which I was really grateful for.

My favorite thing about Crystal and Chris' wedding, which didn't surprise me at all from what I knew of them, was how connected everyone was. You'll see it in the joy on people's faces in the photos below, the hugs and the laughter, but this wedding was a tight knit group of people with a whole lot of love for one another. It was beautiful.

Tremendous props to Jennifer Fox for bringing a bunch of clear shower curtains for us to nail up to the pavilion during the monsoon, brilliant idea!

Skamania Lodge Wedding Photographs | Renee + Josh

Renee and Josh's wedding at Skamania Lodge was incredible. It was a gorgeous day and the venue was at it's prime. Justin and Jen of Paradox Productions dominated the coordinating and DJ'ing (I'm not sure if DJ'ing is a word, but you know what I mean). Solabee Florals and Botanicals did a gorgeous job on the flowers and Cupcake Jones of course killed it on the cupcakes. I had a great day at Skamania Lodge with Renee and Josh, they were great sports about tromping through the long grass and exploring the venue to it's fullest, which I was grateful for. It's Friday, I'm out of words, photo time.

Renee and Josh, it was been so enjoyable to work with you both. Thank you for hiring me to be a part of your wedding day, it was truly beautiful.
