{Erica + Dave} Wedding; McMenamins Old St. Francis, Bend, Oregon

There’s nothing more powerful when you join two families and such a personal ceremony represents a transformation into one family.  Erica + Dave both have some of the biggest hearts on them and they put it all out there for their emotional wedding.  It’s written all over their faces in these pictures and is so touching.  One of the highlights for us was when they each read vows to each others kids, promises of care, love and trust, during the ceremony.  Talk about a tear jerker!  On the flip side, one of the biggest smiles we had on our faces was during the last dance of the evening.  Journey ROCKED the speakers and the entire crowd (including Erica + Dave serenading) danced, sang at the top of their lungs and went crazy.   #wentoutinSTYLE

Both of these crazy cats work at G5 Search Marketing, so we had a lot in common from day one 🙂  Erica + Dave, thanks for the adventure and choosing us to capture your big day.  It was a such a pleasure to meet your WHOLE family and share in this meaningful journey of marriage.  We definitely gained two friends.  May these teaser images remind you everyday of your love for each other and your joined family.  More to come soon…promise!

All the best,

B + W

One of our favorites: simple, colorful…waiting just for the bride/groom!

Love the guys colorful tuxs and shoes to boot.

In addition to their vows, they also offered gifts to the kids to remember this day.

We caught this during a musical interlude as a tribute to a past loved one.

Our ‘big city’ skyline shot…well, the best you can do in Bend 🙂

Fabulous sweets and treats from The Sweet Tooth.
