After shooting Naomi and Nathaniel’s wedding last Friday, Leah and I made the trek to Drain, Oregon, the town that Leah grew up in. Saturday we shot Stacy and Daniel’s wedding in the same church that Leah and I were married in! It was really fun not only to shoot Stacy and Daniel’s wedding, but also to be shooting a wedding in the same place that we were married! It brought back so many great memories of one of the happiest days of my life. It was fun also to see where we are now and how we have changed. Marriage has been such a wonderful adventure, largely due to the wonderful person that I have to share it with.
Stacy and Daniel will have many great memories of their wedding day as well! While the girls were finishing getting ready, Daniel and I struck out to do a few portraits of him and wait for Stacy to come for their private moment. The majority of the pictures of Daniel are like the second one here where he is laughing and smiling, but I also had to have him do a few serious ones…
Here’s the first moment that they saw each other. You can obviously see the joy on both of their faces.
Their decorations were beautiful and natural.
They had a lot of kids in their wedding which always keeps things very entertaining!
They made their get away by running through a cloud of bubbles! This photo is achieved by using a zoom lens (for this I used the Canon 24-70 2.8L) and zooming in very quickly while shooting at a slow shutter speed (1/60th is what was used here). I think it gives a really cool effect and I like to use it for shots of the bride and groom leaving, but can yield unique results for all types of photos.
I know this belongs earlier in the post, but I thought it wouldn’t flow quite as well and I’m all about the flow of posts 
Here’s a lovely picture by Leah of Stacy and her mom Athena, putting on Stacy’s grandma’s pearls.
Thanks so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day Stacy and Daniel, we had such a great time capturing all of your memories and beautiful moments! If there is anything in particular that you want to see pictures of from their wedding (or from Naomi and Nathaniel’s), let me know so that I can include them in another blog post.
Happy weekend everyone!
