Heceta Head Lighthouse wedding, on the Oregon Coast

Becca and Andrew married in arguably one of the most scenic and picturesque locations ever. Heceta Head Lighthouse and it's historic Bed & Breakfast, are gorgeous. High atop a cliff side, the house was built as a home to the lighthouse keepers, who for many years, continued to keep the light shining on for ships to see from miles away. The lighthouse is still functioning today and it looks unbelievably amazing at night, when the fog rolls in and the beam travels in circles within it. What a sight! The Oregon Coast is truly breathtaking.

This location has always been Becca's favorite place. The place where, as a little girl, she imagined one day getting married to the man of her dreams. Well... she sure did! The wedding was beautiful. The weather perfect and their willingness to hike down to the beach below, in their wedding gabs, was epic too. What a great bunch of outdoorsy and relaxed people. A great day for all!

Here are a few images from that 10 hour wedding shoot. There are MANY more, of course... it was SO difficult to pick just a handful to show you here. Josh and I definitely know that we will return to that location (and the Sea Lion Caves, nearby) for a scenic drive and a little bit of R&R. One of these days! :)

Real (beach) Wedding Featured on StyleUnveiled!

Thank You Portland Style Unveiled for being such a great group of hard working wedding resource ladies! The attention we get when our photographs are featured on their site, is fantastic. They are very selective about what style and quality of images they show on their site, so we feel honored every time we are chosen to be one of the select few!


This time, Grace & Neal's wedding day at the beach in Gearhart, Oregon was the one selected to be showcased on Style Unveiled. The layout is beautiful and adding the element of actual words and thoughts from the bride herself to the post, is priceless. It's not just about our images anymore, but about how the Real Bride (beautiful Grace) actually felt about us as photographers and the other vendors involved. We love it! PS: Grace answered the questionnaire while sipping on Mai-Tais in Hawaii on her honeymoon! How awesome are our brides?! ;)

Here is a screenshot of Grace & Neal's Real Wedding feature. We'd be honored if you clicked on through to see the full post on their site! Share with the world by clicking on the Twitter/Stumble/FB Like buttons and leave a comment too! We LOVE to read your comments! ;)

Thank you Heather & Kimberly for all of your hard work! 
HUGS!

Wedding day on the Oregon coast.

Grace & Neal are married! The day was yesterday, Saturday April 30th 2011. The day after the famous Royal Wedding. Grace (along with her friends and family) thought of her own day as a royal one. Why? Because her married name will be: Grace Kelly! ;)

Westminster Abbey or not, Grace & Neal's wedding day was perfect. Small enough to allow for every single guest to have great contact with the bride and groom, yet large enough to have it be a true party. The Oregon Coast was perfect too. Sunny and warm, bright and practically deserted. From the beaches of Gearhart, everyone followed Grace & Neal up the street, all the way to McMenamin's Sandtrap, for the reception.

Having gotten to know them during their engagement session (red balloons and hollow picture frames in Portland) we knew they would be fun to see and play with again. Sure enough! Right before sunset, the four of us went back to the beach to take more romantic, fun and artful photographs of the two of them, away from the crowd. We had a blast and love the resulting images. We are so excited to show them! :)

One of the highlights of the day was to see our previous bride (and Grace's maid of honor) Katie, who got married at McMenamin's Edgefield this past September 2010. We love keeping our shoots in the family and love that ours keeps growing! YAY!

Here are details about the vendors involved. Everyone worked flawlessly together. What a great day!
