oregon wedding & baby photographer emily g photography »

So far 2013 has been an amazing year. Filled with great clients and more than average amount of sunny days. It is pretty much a photographers dream. One such day was Nicole & David’s beautiful spring wedding at McMenanins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. We lucked into some great weather, and captured some great people. Nicole and David are super sweet, and so were their entire wedding party & family. It was a beautiful day all around really a fun one.

Nicole and David wanted an intimate wedding, with the closest friends and family, but they also wanted to celebrate their love for Oregon and the great outdoors. Every little detail and moment showed that clearly. They also had some of the funniest moments in their ceremony and toasts that I have ever witnessed. One thing I can say about this crowd is they have a sense of humor!

It was a fantastic day to take part in and capture, here are a few of my many, many favorites from our day…

Nicole & David thanks again for having me out to capture your big day. It truly was a magical day. I wish you guys nothing but happiness.

I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek! I will have the gallery done very shortly.

Family and friends if you would like to see the whole gallery when it is done please leave a comment below and I will share it when it is ready.

I knew after Matt & Alyssa’s epicly fun and quirky engagement session their wedding would be a good one. I was so right, this couple did not disappoint. The day was full of fun, love and brimmed over with personality. Matt & Alyssa were married at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse just last month. We lucked into a lovely break in the weather and had a sweet mild day to shoot in. Alyssa took DIY to a whole new level with hundreds of paper cranes, beautiful details and of course the floral. To be fair Alyssa is training to be a floral designer so she really knows what she is doing. All of their friends and family clearly had a wonderful time, and were great to capture. So much love on this day, it was wonderful to whitness.

Here are a few of my many, many favorites from the day…

Matt & Alyssa thanks again for having me out to capture your big day. It really was my pleasure. I hope you had a wonderful honeymoon! It was great working with you two, and meeting all of your friends & family. I hope you have enjoyed your sneak peek. I will have the whole set done here shortly.

Ohhhh, EEEEM, Geeee what can I say about Jenna & Chase.

I adore these two. Working with them through all of out planning meetings & of course the epic engagement session  has been so fun, so I had big hopes for their wedding. When the day came I was not disappointed, even through the wind and the rain Jenna & Chase pulled of a beautiful event full of warmth and personal touches. They carefully planned the whole day to show off their new home of Portland to all of their out of town friends & family. From my view they did an amazing job, and everyone had a wonderful time, even if we ended up with more than our share of “liquid sunshine”. They also hired a killer team to pull off all the details, from the perfect attire, hair & make up, to the food and table decor every detail was impeccable. I also have to say Jenna and Chase had one of THE most fun dance-floors to capture of all season. I mean really, who else turns grandma leaving the reception into a conga line and later takes the rainy day and incorporates it into the crazy dance floor. I LOVE these people. I have a feeling umbrella dancing is going to be the next big thing.
