Kindle and I met a few years ago when she joined my indoor soccer team and I was absolutely thrilled when she asked me to be her & Jacob’s wedding photographer. Because they’re stationed across the country, Kindle & Jacob have been planning their wedding from afar and despite the challenges I’m sure that imposed, they pulled off an absolutely gorgeous wedding at The Garden In The Woods. Congratulations Kindle & Jacob!
Jacob & Kindle are stationed on the East Coast so they had to plan their Albany wedding remotely. It also meant that they were only in town for the week of the wedding so we scheduled their engagement session for a few days before the wedding. It ended up being a fun way to hang out together, chat about their last minute wedding plans and create some additional portraits of the two of them together. Jacob & Kindle’s wedding photos are coming soon, but for now enjoy some of my favorites from their couples session:
Stacey and Colin hosted the most amazing backyard wedding, complete with three live bands and three wedding dresses – one of which had been Stacey’s moms! Stacey’s twin daughters
Cleo and Cosette stole the show as the flower girls and comic relief for the evening.
Hosting the wedding in a family member’s back yard made the evening intimate and personal; guests enjoyed playing yard games and the kids enjoyed rolling down the sloping hills.
On Stacey & Colin’s first date they discovered a creme brulee milk stout that they absolutely loved so they ordered a few cases and used it for their toasts – just one of the many personal touches they added to their wedding day.
As the evening turned into night we were graced with a beautiful August sunset and Ludicrous Speed, an 8-piece ska band from Corvallis, helped the guests dance the night away. (Side note, I’m not-so-secrectly a ska fan so I was pretty excited with their band choice!)
