Annie + John,

Such a pleasure to work with you two in a spot so special to us, where we got married!   Thanks for taking the trip up to Timberline Lodge and sharing the spectacular sunset!  So much fun playing in the snow and waiting, waiting, waiting…for the clouds to clear on Mt. Hood!  haha  We look forward to your wedding next year at the High Desert Museum!

All the best,

B + W

 

To Nate, From Danielle; Pre-Wedding Engagement Photography Portland, Oregon

Nate,

Who knew that a phone number on a coffee cup sleeve would be the start to this wonderful journey together, from running through sprinklers at midnight, a snowy week in, a road trip with Snuffleupagus to Utah, many summer days of disc golf, hikes to Falcon Point, concerts, hanging out with horses in Colorado, moving in, birthdays, eating lobster in Maine, spending a night in a haunted cabin, traveling to the North Pole on the Polar Express, weddings, eating at new restaurants, off-roading at Browns Camp, holidays, photo safaris, Blazer and Timber games, my first camping trip near Mt. Hood, visiting the chickens at Pistils, cooking, coconut oolong tea afternoons and most recently, a proposal on Mt. Tabor.

I look forward to adding to this list with you as your wife, this is just a start on our amazing lifelong journey.  I cannot wait to say “I do.”

143,

Danielle

All the best,

To Greg, From Sondra; Drake Park Pre-Wedding Engagment Photos, Bend Oregon

Greg,

Our path to each other might have been difficult, filled with many life-altering choices along the way, but every decision we made led to our chance meeting at the Martini Bar that cold winter night two years ago. After hours of dancing….and kissing that night, I had seemingly forgot your name…still sorry about that…I choose to blame the alcohol! LOL. Be that as it may, we no doubt left a lasting impression on each other that night;). What instantly attracted me to you besides the long silky hair you used to have, is was that when I told you I had children you weren’t scared, in fact you were actually intrigued. I have great respect for you coming into to our lives and loving us the way you do. Not only are you an AMAZING father to my children, but you are also an amazing partner and I cannot wait to marry you!! <3

Our wedding day will not just be the day we become husband and wife, it will also be the day that we officially become a family, and the kids and I will begin our lives as Steiners!

Love you babe!

The trees in full bloom downtown, you couldn’t have asked for anything sweeter.

Canvas worthy…just sayin’!

To: Amy + TJ, From: Katy (MOH); Faith Hope & Charity Vineyard Wedding, Terrebonne Oregon

Amy and TJ,

Your wedding was absolutely beautiful. It surpassed all of my expectations. You two were the epitome of a couple in love that day. Amy, you looked absolutely breath-taking in your dress. It fit you perfectly and no other dress would have looked as great on you as that one did. The flowers were amazing, along with every other detail. I was honored to be a part of it and to share in your happiness.

TJ, over the years, we have waited for a man to come along and love Russ as much, or more, as we do. We wanted someone who would step into that role and love him as his own son. I’ll admit, when Amy first told me about you, I was skeptical and told her not to get too attached. I didn’t want another man to come into Russ’s life, just to have him walk out again. When I met you, I knew you were that man we had been waiting for. It takes a special man to love a woman and her son. It takes an even more special man to love Amy and Russ. You do it, and you do it so indescribably well. Amy, you have found an amazing man who loves you, despite you flaws and weird quirks. I am so happy you found your match. You have been an amazing mother to Russ, now you can also be an amazing wife to TJ.

I pray that God will bless your marriage and teach you more everyday about how to love each other. Remember the quote by Bob Marley: “He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” This goes both ways for you. Love each other for who they are and don’t try to change any of them. God created you just as you are for each other. I love you both! Congratulations on finding the one who is perfect for you and for becoming a happy family!

Love you lots!

Katy

Amazing florals from Blue Daffodil Flowers

 

 

 

First look…

I love reflections and this one made me emotional to see….

 

One of the emotional moments of the day was when TJ’s father presented his father’s wedding ring to TJ.

 

 

Did we mention we loved reflections?!  Here, all the ladies are being driven to the ceremony site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rose petal tossing made for a fun exit…I wish more people would do that!  It just makes everyone giggle!

 

Gorgeous!

To Curtis, From Jessica; Seattle, Wa Wedding Engagement Photography – Gas Works Park

Curtis,

It’s amazing to think about how we’ve grown as a couple and as individuals over the last five years. Thank you for supporting me through the stress and long hours of school, for making me laugh each and every day and for letting me truly be myself. I am so excited for the life we have ahead and the learning, laughter and adventures to come. I can’t wait to see the world with you, buy a house with you, have children with you and grow old with you. You are my best friend and I love you.

XOXO,

Jessica
