You may remember Jessica and Jake from their funky Engagement shoot back in January, right before I made the move to Los Angeles. Their awesome style was back in full force for the big day. Jessica is one multi talented woman, I was blown away by all the personal DIY touches she flawlessly pulled of. First, She MADE her dress. Yup, you heard me. She is an incredible seamstress and the dress was amazing on her. She also made the bouquets out of the coolest paper flowers I’ve ever seen. Every detail perfectly paired elegance and nostalgia. They were married at a private residence/tree farm in Sandy Oregon, right outside of Portland. It was a beautiful setting for a beautiful night. (I am a little bummed that Jake cut the dreads though, hehe) A thousand congratulations to you two!

I’m in Corvallis this week for Arwen and Peter’s beautiful country wedding. It was this past Thursday out at Beazell Memorial Forest. I had to share this sunny picture, partly just for Arwen, and partly because waking up every morning since to gray skies has me dreaming about being in this picture like she is
More to come from this one!

I just have to say, its shoots like this maternity session that remind me so vividly why I love my job. If I wasn’t a custom photographer, would I ever get to meet such cool people like the Slacks? I don’t know, but I’m sure glad I am. They are such an awesome couple, full of life and joy. I’m so happy for them as they are expecting Weston, their first baby, after 15 years of marriage! Molly’s aunt was so gracious letting us shoot out on her beautiful property outside of Philomath. And Molly was so cool about trekking back up to the house for changes while we rocked out to some super awesome Rock and Roll (Matt turned me on to Wide Spread Panic and now I’m hooked!). Even the weather cleared up for just the exact window we had scheduled to shoot, an hour later it was pouring buckets. Basically everything was perfect (incl. Molly’s belly… amazing). Weston was born last night, a little over a week early. And I’m so excited to fly in to Oregon next week meet him and take his first newborn portraits!

I can’t tell you how much fun I had with Vanessa and Travis while we were running around Portland together. They are such a fun couple. They are goofy, and giggly, and so very very much in love. Vanessa’s best friend came along on the shoot and we couldn’t help but musing on how perfect they are for one another, as they skipped (literally) ahead of us. They were so cute, and needless to say, so fun to shoot! It also makes me so so excited for their wedding in October in Corvallis! YAY!
