A Romantic Summer Wedding in Oregon
There are some wedding days that feel touched by magic, where every moment seems to unfold with perfect timing and pure joy. Katie and Taylor's summer wedding in Oregon was exactly that kind of celebration - a day filled with enchanting moments and unexpected touches of wonder that made it uniquely theirs.
A Day Crafted with Intention
From the very beginning, Katie and Taylor approached their wedding day with thoughtfulness and purpose. Every decision, from their carefully selected venue to their amazing vendor team, was made with intention. As their photographer, I watched as each choice came together to create something truly extraordinary - a celebration that perfectly reflected not just their love story, but also the deep connections they share with their family and friends.
Moments of Pure Joy
There's something particularly special about witnessing a couple surrounded by people who truly know and celebrate them. Throughout Katie and Taylor's wedding day, you could feel the joy and peace radiating not just from them, but from everyone present. The ceremony was filled with beautiful words and happy tears, celebrating the authenticity of their love. Each speech added another layer to their love story, painting a picture of two people whose lives were meant to intertwine.
Golden Hour Magic in Oregon
As a PNW wedding photographer, I'm always looking for those perfect moments when the light and timing align to create something magical. During Katie and Taylor's portraits, we were gifted with the most beautiful golden hour light - the kind that turns an Oregon summer evening into pure gold. Nature had an extra surprise in store for us: a ladybug landed on Katie's dress, a serendipitous moment that felt like a sign of good things to come for their relationship. These are the unexpected gifts that make each wedding unique and memorable.
A Dream Vendor Team
One of the most beautiful aspects of this celebration was seeing how thoughtfully Katie and Taylor chose their vendor team. In the Pacific Northwest wedding industry, we're fortunate to have so many incredibly talented vendors, and this team proved why. Every detail was executed with care and precision, but more than that, you could tell that K + T had chosen people who truly understood and supported their vision. It's always a joy to work alongside vendors who pour their hearts into their craft. When you book with me, you’ll receive my preferred vendor’s list of the best of the best in the PNW!
The Perfect Start to Summer Wedding Season
There's no better way to begin the summer wedding season in Oregon than with a celebration like this one. Katie and Taylor's day reminded me why I love being a wedding photographer - it's about capturing those pure moments of joy, the tender glances, the happy tears, and even the kismet appearances of lucky ladybugs. Their wedding set the tone for a season filled with love, intention, and beautiful celebrations.
