Just Us Saying, “I Do” In Front Of Close Friends And Family.

Ian and Susan are down to earth people, and simple, not fancy.  I first met them in March at Cafe Madiera over a sweet delicious treat and drinks to talk about their wedding in July.  We talked details, and how they met.  They met online 4 years ago, and she found out he was located in Georgia.  Once they got to know each other, he flew to our beautiful state of Oregon to meet her.  You could say they liked each other a lot! So they stayed in touch, and realized they had a lot in common and wanted to get to know one another even more.  Ian decided one day that he loved her, and wanted to be with her, so, just like that, he relocated to Oregon.  How romantic, right?

The rest of the story? Well, that’s where I come in, with telling their love story! I love to tell and capture couples love story through my lens.  It’s evident they love and care very much for one another, and know how to have fun.  I really enjoyed getting to know them both at our first meeting, engagement session, and then wedding.  Susan warned me Ian is shy, and doesn’t like his picture taken.  I love to capture people in their natural state, I always take the first few minutes into a session and let them know I’m not going to be in their face, don’t do a lot of posing, and that I want them to forget I’m there.  So just breathe!! ha! ha!  He did a wonderful job, he put all his attention into Susan, they walked hand in hand, talked, and laughed the whole time.  Loved that!

Their wedding day took place in Walterville, Oregon.  They said their vows in front of their close friends and family at the Walterville Grange.  The Coburg hills made for a beautiful back drop, and it was a beautiful sunny day out in the country.  It was a small, intimate, and laid back wedding.  The bride and groom looked amazing! I was honored they chose me to capture their special day!
