DIY wedding day near Mt St Helens, WA

By -
Another amazing wedding in the books! Here is a quick sneak peek of Ang & Craig. They married on the uber-popular wedding date of the season: 9.10.11 We had the opportunity to really get to know and bond with them on their engagement session in Newport, OR (see those images here!) and then again on their wedding day. The weather was great, albeit super hot. But it being mid-September, the sun set early allowing for a rapid cool-down.

Anderson Lodge by Mt St Helens is a great place for a wedding! It's casual and country-chic. It can be as elegant and as laid-back as the couple marrying there. There are cabins to rent for the night, and lots of open spaces for photos. The views of the Mt St Helens valley are breathtaking and the vibe was just perfect too. We had a blast!

I must give our friend Lisa Kristen Scott a shout-out here. She is by far the most friendly and calm and organized officiant we've worked with as of late. We always suggest her to our clients and when we finally see her officiating our events, the day gets even better :) Ok that's it. Shout-out over :)

Here are the vendors involved with the wedding. Keep in mind that Ang made MANY of the little details you see in these photos... all of the boutonnières, for example, were made by her! And the cake topper too! Adorable!

Another absolutely awesome wedding day. WOW! Lea and Clark are super cute and super fun. We got to know each other on their engagement session near sunset, on a gorgeous sunny winter day, in Cannon Beach a few months ago ( here it is ). Ever since then, we've gotten to know each other even more via facebook and emails and... BAM! Their wedding came and went. Time FLIES! LOTS of details in this wedding! And everything was made by hand by Lea herself! A truly DIY bride. She made her birdcage veil, the feathery hair piece (which was her grandmother's brooch), the invitations, the table place cards, the ring pillow, bow ties... everything! Amazing! Clark is super creative too. He broke out his twelve-string guitar in the middle of the reception and played an elaborate and beautiful song for all to enjoy. I even recorded it on video! :) The song was "Oceans" and it's from John Butler Trio. Beautiful! OK OK! i better start posting some photos! Here is a list of the...

It's just SO fun meeting new couples who are adventurous and willing to "get down and dirty" on their shoots. We initially meet with our couples to share stories, so as to get to know each other well... to become friends! We always bond with our couples, but sometimes, we really truly see eye-to-eye. Like with Wendi & Danny ! We were joking around about being extreme photographers (right Sara?! :))) , and then realized that we were serious about 1) wanting to snow shoe to ice caves in the middle of the forests on WA state; 2) being willing, able and excited to carry our equipment and go all the way. Well... it happened! Just yesterday, in fact. We met up around 9am in Hood River, in the Columbia Gorge. We drove to Trout Lake, WA, got our Snow Passes for the day and then ventured on forest service roads, all the way to the end of the plowed area. Then came the snow shoes. All of our gear was in backpacks, along with Wendi & Danny's change of clothes and foo...

Hi everyone! Josh and I have been absent in the Blog-World... we know and apologize for it! ;) We have, however, been constantly updating our Facebook Page and hope that you were able to see the updates and progress of our road trip to Las Vegas as it was happening! Well, another amazing trip to the SW has come and gone. Josh and I visit the annual, giant, photography conference in Las Vegas ( WPPI ) every single year. Every year, it happens right around the end of February/beginning of March. Last year, we flew down for three days. This year, we decided to drive down! Portland , through back-country SE Oregon , through back-country Nevada , to Las Vegas . Then on our way back, we decided to take a little "detour" to the amazing Grand Canyon , in Arizona. I know... not a "detour" per se, sine it was about 300 miles in the opposite direction ;) It was worth the extra two days on the road... let me tell you! We are photographers, as you know, so every si...
