Kendel + Paul | Autumn Vintage Wedding

Meeting Kendel + Paul was so refreshing. These two are so young and full of life and appreciation for each other. Just starting a life together, renovating their new home, moving in together, planning a wedding; these could be a source of stress for most couples but these two took every chance to truly celebrate in every way they could. Kendel donning her Grandmother's rose gold, silk wedding gown planned an effortlessly elegant and vintage inspired day that was just so cute, so romantic and so them! Thankful we got to be a part of it!

Becca + Vic | Oregon Coast Adventure Session

The Oregon Coast is majestic. It's rough and dark and scary. It's serene and massive...and all at the same time the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Becca + Vic just moved to the Manzanita area and it just so happened that we were in the neighborhood. You may recognize these two from their wedding earlier this year. 

We loved that just a few weeks after they settled in we were able to document a piece of their hearts here in Oregon, on their latest adventure! We hiked, stood on cliffs and in the cold salt water. They showed us a secret trail to a cliff edge hundreds of feet above the most emerald water and crashing waves. It was unforgettable. If you can stand at the edge of the earth and be insignificant and everything all at once then you'll be as changed by Oregon as we all have been. 

Kennedy + Chaz | Engaged

We're happy for these two. Mainly because they're adorably in love but also because they're family (and a little because they lay in gorgeous ferns for photos). Kennedy is Justin's cousin and we've been able to watch her grow up over the last few years into this beautiful, engaging, smart & sophisticated young woman. Her and Chaz really are our buddies, we always have such good times laughing with these two when we get together! 

They're having a winter wedding before heading off on a big adventure to a new state with new jobs and a new life as husband and wife! We can't wait to watch them live intentionally and have many South Carolina adventures!

Love you guys!

Becca + Vic | Lake Erie Building Wedding

Becca and Vic are adventurers. They met and fell in love on independent adventures in the magical mountains of Slovenia. These two wild spirits couldn't have been a better fit for us. Meeting them in New York City in December just reaffirmed what we already knew. After an hours long brunch and too much coffee we wanted around a Christmas market getting to know each other but it truly felt like we were already old friends.

Andi + Ben | Backyard Ceremony + Hines Hill Reception

Andi & Ben.
Two people who saw the opportunity to have a wedding day full of intention and with so much personal meaning. The ceremony took place under the giant tree lovingly named "The Mighty Oak" by Ben's family. The ninety-some acre family property, that was owned by Ben's grandpa and has been passed down, is meadow after meadow who's edges are traced with thick tree-lines and trails. The estate; an eclectic and warm home where Ben grew up surrounded by gardens, kitties and chickens.
Ben and Andi saw each other early in the day, Andi in her bridal robe and Ben in his work clothes. The guys helped set up the ceremony just an hour before donning their suits for the festivities while Andi and her girls enjoyed a sun-soaked lunch on the breezy patio. Each moment an opportunity for us to sink into the background and document quietly. The morning folded into late afternoon and the perfectly orchestrated ceremony under the rustling leaves made way to the celebration at Hines Hill Conservancy.

From the East to the West

Adventures of this magnitude always take time to put into words. Those words are coming. And so are many, many
more photographs from our travels from the East to the West coast and back home!
For now, this...

The spring unfolds

We waited for weeks for the cold to end, for the rain to stop, for the sun to shine. Then we waited for the trees to turn green and the flowers to bloom. Mara + Brad waited patiently to have this adventure with us on the most beautiful spring evening at Hinckley Reservation, a place they picked as a location for their future married adventures together!  
We can't wait to spend their wedding day documenting this love story!
