I’ve been holding off on blogging this wedding forever waiting for a feature! It happened! Check it out on Every Last Detail’s blog.

I had a blast getting to know Erin + Marc through the wedding planning process and I can say they are the sweetest, most caring couple. They brought on Heather from Amorolgy who knocked it out of the park on details. Their celebration was a family centric affair and it showed the entire day. Even from Erin getting ready in the room she grew up in!

I usually start my blogs with a pretty photo of the couple. But today, it’s a bit different. This post is dedicated to Tom’s mom who lost a very short and unexpected battle to cancer not long after the wedding. Hearing these stories really drive home the importance of family photos. My heart goes out to Tom and his family.

Tom + Danielle’s wedding day was a hit or miss on rain. We got so lucky and had the most beautiful soft grey skies! And you cannot miss their gorgeous cake – contender for one of my very favorites!

Ryan is the head brewer for Barrel Mountain Brewery in Battle Ground, WA so I was stoked to be able to start the engagement session on his home turf with a beer! Jason and I had a blast going all over Vancouver and Portland with these two – always with a beer in our hands!

My biggest memory from this wedding was the weather. It was HOT. Like hottest day of the year hot. And the limo bus AC broke down. We all squeezed in to a regular limo to get to the first look. But once Edie + Carlo saw each other for the first time, nothing else mattered. They were all smiles and laughs leading up to the ceremony!

Samantha + Drew live in Arizona but came back to So Cal for their engagement session with me. We met in Sam’s hometown of Long Beach and I found some new awesome areas I didn’t know existed! Like, who had any idea there was a rad lighthouse right near downtown!? Too cool. I simply cannot wait to see these two again at their wedding in March!
