Renee and Steven wed over the summer at the stunning Skamania Lodge. I’ve known Renee since she was a little girl, through our church, and have taken several photos for her family and siblings over the years, so it was extra special for me to capture her wedding day.

Steven had a fun morning playing golf with his groomsmen while Renee and her girls relaxed and sipped mimosas as they got ready. They opted for the traditional “first look” and Steven saw his bride for the first time that day as she walked down the aisle towards in him, surrounded by close friends and family. They had the sweetest vows and the toasts given later in the evening were just as sweet. I love how adoringly Steven looks at Renee and I especially love how much fun these two have together. They make a good team… not to mention a good team on the dance floor, as well.

Renee and Steven, I had an absolute blast documenting your wedding day. Thank you for choosing me to partake in the celebration and I am so happy you two found each other. “The point is… you two are perfect together,” Congratulations!

Dylan and Brianne got married at one of my favorite places in the Pacific Northwest, Skamania Lodge! It’s on the Washington side of the Columbia River, right near the famous Bridge of the Gods, and sits up on a hill providing gorgeous views of the Columbia Gorge.

The morning of their wedding day was so relaxing. Brianne and her bridesmaids sipped mimosas and laughed about memories as they got ready for the big day. One of my favorite moments of the day was when Brianne’s bridesmaids gifted her a personalized booked of photos, memories, and sweet words for the bride. Their entire bridal party was filled with the sweetest of friends, who made their entire day so much fun and so meaningful to both Brianne and Dylan.

Their ceremony was sweet, and their reception was a blast! Not a dry eye during their vows at the ceremony, during the toasts, and during the father/daughter and mother/son dances as well. I loved how the dance floor was placed right where they had said their vows earlier in the day, and everyone danced the night away under the string lights and under the Columbia gorge sky filled with stars.

Brianne and Dylan, thank you so much for choosing me to document this special day for you guys. I loved having the honor of capturing each moment throughout the day, and had so much fun while doing it! Thank you to you guys, your bridal party, and your families for making ME feel like family!
