Still loving Beazell Memorial Forest [Oregon Wedding Photography]

laurenhurt — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 19:08:43 +0000

I think it’s so fun to photograph the same venue multiple times because you really get to see how different couples interpret and make it fit to their personality. Josh and Julia’s wedding was my second time out to Beazell Memorial Forest this summer, and I love seeing how they made that gorgeous location their own. I love that they had their ceremony out on the grass with the forest as their background. And of course the barn makes an awesome backdrop for any reception. And Josh and Julia are just the sweetest couple and I can’t express in words how happy I am for the two of them. So here’s to the many beautiful years ahead, thanks for letting me be a part of this day you two!

I Heart Oregon Weddings

laurenhurt — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:52:30 +0000

I mean REALLY, I really heart them. Especially the last two… I just got back this weekend from another marathon trip up to the great green state, and shot these two beautiful weddings. Josh and Julia started off the week at one of my favorite spots, Beazell Memorial Forest in Kings Valley Oregon. Kayla and Brian finished it up with a positively gorgeous Cannon Beach Oregon celebration. In between was lots of traveling and driving… it made the trip go by very fast and before I knew it, I’m back in the swing of things down here in LA again.

I just wanted to give you guys a little taste of what’s to come AND give a major shout out to all of my amazing clients. I can’t explain how blessed I’ve been this year by the incredible brides, seniors, and families I get to work with. As more and more inquiries for next summer’s weddings come in, I find myself looking back at all my beautiful brides and being so thankful! I’m starting to think that the term “Bridezilla” is a sham (knock on wood) because all of these women have been total Queens to work with. Thank you all for giving me the immense honor of being a part of your day! I love you all!

Arwen + Peter [Beazell Memorial Forest Wedding Photography]

I had such a wonderful time with Arwen and Peter and their amazing family and friends. The wedding was a beautiful celebration of life and love, and their heartwarming story together. They are some of the kindest, most laid back, and fun loving people I’ve worked with and it was such a joy to capture their *1st* special day together. I say first because their legal matrimony is being held in Australia, where Peter is from and where they will be starting their lives together. This stateside celebration was all about the coming together of family and friends to send them out. In fact, Arwen and Peter even chose to have their guests marry them during the ceremony! Everyone had copies of the vows and read them over the couple as a group. Many happy and sad tears were shed and much laughter and dancing followed. The evening was beautiful in every way. I’m so excited for both of them and the adventure ahead of them, but Corvallis is definitely going to miss such a wonderful woman!

A major thank you to Peggy and Carol at Celebration Florals who created some AMAZING bouquets for the bridal party!

Also, for all you brides out there, Beazell Memorial Forest was an amazing little destination for a beautiful celebration… Check it out at Beazell Memorial Forest Website

Josh + Julia [Corvallis Oregon Engagement Photography]

Josh and Julia are two very busy love birds. After a few attempts, we finally got an engagement shoot to fit into their hectic schedules. I’m so glad too, because they are awesome and I finally got to meet them in person! These two are so funny, and laugh A LOT, which in turn made me laugh a lot, and a great time was had by all. Well except, when Josh’s Cheesy tactics didn’t pay of so well… (see clip at the end, I promised Josh it would make it on the blog!) Anyway, these two are beautiful, and I’m so happy for them. Also, I can’t WAIT to photograph their wedding at Beazell Memorial Forest in August!

What a LOVELY Thursday [Oregon Wedding Photography]

laurenhurt — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 02:42:53 +0000

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!
