Natalie + Nolan

Champoeg State Park [St Paul, Oregon]
How can I ever put this day into words!
Natalie and Nolan poured so much love and attention into their wedding day. From Nolan composing original music for their ceremony to spending hours scrubbing labels off of bottles and jars for decorations - this wedding was filled to the brim with love.
I can't imagine a more fitting celebration of their loving, respectful, and joy-filled partnership
Natalie + Nolan,
YOU'RE FINALLY MARRIED! I just can't express how happy I am for you, I've tried!
It has been so fun and meaningful to me to watch your friendship and partnership grow. I smile when I think about the day we were in the car with Natalie and she told us that Nolan had invited her to a jazz thing in Portland and she wasn't sure if he was asking her on a date. And of course, it was a date.
Your friendship means the world to me and I'll miss you (and our game nights!) while you're living in Florida!
Thank you for trusting me to capture your wedding day. It is always a special honor to photograph people I love.
I love you both. I hope Italy has been magical!

And a huge thank you to Katie Spain for second shooting with me and beautifully capturing some wonderful moments!
