I’ve known Joel and Brenda for a few years now, and I was so delighted when they asked me to photograph their wedding. I think all of us had a brief panic attack at seeing the rain that Saturday morning, but everyone pulled together like champs and we worked it out! Couples, we’re in Oregon: never fear the rain! Some trusty umbrellas, being okay with the fact that the bottom of your dress may get a little damp (which, let’s be honest…will definitely be the case by the end of the night anyway), and you’re good to go. With that attitude in mind, we set off for the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse…

Joel and Brenda both work in design, and I just knew their wedding would be full of sweet little details…


Yup, she designed those lovely little recipe cards.


Joel’s expression during First Look. Just kills me…










Thank you for indulging me, Joel and Brenda.


Dinner is served under a bright white canopy.

Another hand-made touch…

Of course Brenda designed this adorable cupcake menu!





This was one of those weddings where everyone was having *such* a good time. Love it!

Joel told me he particularly loves Brenda’s expression here…

Love a couple that boogies down at their wedding! Congratulations, you two!
