November 26th 2022, surrounded by their 5 children and their families Doan and Mai celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary by renewing their vows. After hundreds o f weddings, how special to be a part of this anniversary. As everyone sat down for dinner a slideshow of their life together played. Watching everyone giggle, laugh and talk over old memories it dawned on me exactly how special this occasion was. Paired down because of Covid this celebration was small but no one but Doan & Mai were there on the Wedding Day. These people that surrounded them now were direct results of the love and commitment they made to each other and now they celebrate. It was just so profound and beautiful. I will never forget being a fly on the wall durning this celebration, forever honored. 

Wyle & Ra are a Yoga power couple. Hosting session and retreats all over Oregon. We did a lifestyle session in the dead of winter. What a way to warm up! It was a pleasure to capture both the passion and love. Really don't they go hand in hand. How wonderful to share it all with your partner. 

So let me get this straight, a campsite wedding where all dogs are welcome. Yes please! Kris & Aloe were married on June 3rd 2023 surrounded by their love ones and their pups. Looking back at these photos I love the expressions on the guest faces, especially durning the ceremony. Kris & Aloe's love and their love for Kris & Aloe was written all over their faces. If you are putting together a bridal party, make sure to add the people who will smile, laugh, cry and cheer you on on your special day. I remember when asking if they wanted to do more "sweetheart" photos Kris & Aloe said, "nah, not really. We really only did this wedding to celebrate with our family, please just take photos of them enjoying the campsite". And enjoined they did. Each group at the wedding had their own secluded campsite and at the wedding field there was cornhole, an art station, great food, live music and a bar made specially for the wedding. What a special day, I wont forget this one.
