Erin + Brian / Bandon, Oregon Wedding

0 Comments/ in publicity, weddings / by Ryan

The latest issue of Oregon Bride Magazine has just been released, and we’re excited to have Erin & Brian’s wedding featured there!  This Southern Oregon Coast wedding was truly unique–3 days of fun, relaxation, & celebration.  Although they’re from Portland (and also, lucky for us, happen to be our neighbors), Erin’s family has deep roots in Bandon, OR, so the spot made perfect sense for an intimate wedding weekend focused on their closest friends and family.  Brian is also an avid (and impressive) golfer, and the close access to world-class courses nearby also helped sway their decision.

Kick-off for the weekend festivities started with a karaoke night at a local bar, where Erin & her talented friends let loose on some classic 80’s duets.  Honestly, the vocal talent present had all the local heads turning. Erin has been singing in Portland bands, most notably with the Stolen Sweets, for the past decade and many of their guests are accomplished musicians.  Needless to say, they rocked the house.  The next day, after guests spent the morning and afternoon beachcombing, kite-flying, or hitting the links, the parents of the bride hosted a crab-feed dinner for everyone, complete with an FS Photobooth (nautically themed, of couse).

The wedding ceremony on the third and final day was held at Bullards Beach State Park, just across the bay from Bandon, within view of the area’s historic lighthouse. A chorus of kazoos humming “here comes the bride” led the way while Erin and her father walked down the isle, guests sipped champagne, and the couple said their vows under a driftwood “fort” built by some ambitious-yet-anonymous beach-goers.  Their attire–a 60’s era dress & three-piece-suit–was completely vintage and found by the bride. If you like their look, be sure to check out Erin’s carefully curated collection of vintage dresses & accessories at her shop, Lodekka, in Portland.  After a laid-back dinner reception downtown, most of the party moved on to a beach-house for a sunset bonfire and acoustic sing-a-long to close out the evening. By the end of the weekend, many new friendships were formed and everyone was honored that they were able to spend the time celebrating Erin & Brian. Thanks for having us there to document it!

Sarah & Demitri had an intimate oceanside wedding at Stonecrest Cellar near Newport, OR. This creative couple designed a bunch of sweet DIY details from hand-painted signs to hand-sewn programs.  The whole day was a relaxed celebration among family & friends that ended perfectly with a gorgeous Oregon Coast sunset!

Leigh + Ron / Saddle Mountain Engagement

3 Comments/ in engagement / by Ryan

Our shoot with Leigh & Ron will forever be known as the engagement session of epic proportions! We started out with a hike up Saddle Mountain with their Border Collies for a commanding view of the North Oregon Coast & the mouth of the Columbia River. After resting-up with great food and beer in Astoria, we finished off the day with a sunset shoot on the beach.  It was definitely a full and wonderful day! A big thanks to the both of you for sharing some of your special spots with us–we are looking forward to an epic wedding as well!

Danylle + Andy / Oregon Coast Engagement

0 Comments/ in engagement / by Ryan

It’s time for yet another blissful beach shoot! We met Andy & Danylle at the quaint and lovely town of Gearhart on a recent gorgeous Saturday evening to avoid the crowds everywhere else.  They are two energetic, dynamic & loving individuals that make one amazing couple! We has such a great time soaking up the last few hours of sunlight with them on this stretch of beach.

To say we are excited does not adequately describe how much we are looking forward to their wedding celebration this summer, but these two words will give you a hint:  Bike Parade!

Anna + Billy

0 Comments/ in engagement / by Ryan

You know a couple is special when they are willing to drive 4+ hours to the coast for a 2 hour shoot, and their smiles look as genuine and fresh as if they were in their own backyard! After meeting with Anna a few months ago and hearing her describe her love of natural colors and textures we decided the Oregon Coast would be a perfect location for their engagement shoot. When we originally planned the shoot, they were going to fit it into a longer road-trip. However, it turned out meeting for the shoot a little earlier worked better for their schedules so they decided to use the there-and-back drive (about 8 hours) as a good excuse for some quality time together. They obviously enjoy each other’s company, as their positive energy and love for each other really shined through during the shoot!

The dunes and beach-grass near Manzanita were a perfect backdrop, and despite the intermittent rain showers Anna & Billy truly embraced the moment. We are excited to spend more time with them and photograph their waterfront wedding on Puget Sound this summer!
