abbi + keith // married | pacific city {oregon wedding photography}

there aren't enough words for how warm and lovely this couple is. a bride who will climb halfway up the dune at Cape Kiwanda in her wedding dress for her first look. a groom who is waiting up there for her, and when he sees her has love and amazement written all over his face. he is such a romantic, and she has the most wonderful infectious laugh! these two are a great team, and their chemistry is just something beautiful to be around. their day was so special, and i was absolutely honored to be part of it.

Abbi and Keith, i wish you so much happiness! 

kittie + brian // vow renewal | horning's hideout {portland wedding photography}

so many things to love about this day - the sweetest vow renewal with a laidback backyard party vibe. a day about family and good friends, a day about commitment. Kittie's first look with her dad, then her son, and then Brian... kids playing, guests laughing, ridiculously good food, tearful speeches, wedding donuts from Voodoo (and birthday candles!) - everything a celebration should be. it was truly a beautiful night! so many congratulations to Kittie & Brian and their family!

many thanks to my wonderful second shooter, Sarah Valentine! some of her images are mixed in below.

a few weeks before their vow renewal, i met Kittie, Brian, and Hazel at Council Crest, the spot where Brian proposed. we had had to reschedule the original session due to rain so it wasn't the whole family (Hazel's big brother Noah was out of town), but we got some sweet photos of the three of them that i wanted to share. Kittie and i originally met through a babywearing group and i was thrilled that we got some action shots with Hazel in one of her beautiful woven wraps. 

my blog post of their vow renewal is coming up tomorrow! <3
