Stacey & Colin’s Backyard Wedding | Albany Wedding Photographer

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!)

Chelsea & Igor | Three Strands Farm Wedding

Ever since Three Strands Farm opened a few years ago I have been dying to photograph
a wedding there, so I was super excited with Chelsea & Igor asked me to
be their wedding photographer! From the fields of grass, to the tall old trees,
and from the cows wandering near the cute barn to the frogs squeaking as they
leap into the pond, Three Strands Farm is absolutely Oregon.
A perfect representation of many of the things our great state has to offer.
As you’ll see in the photos below, Chelsea and Igor both have infectious smiles and laughs,
in fact I think I could still hear Chelsea’s laughter in my head as I edited their photos.

DJ/MC: R Squared Rhythms 
Dress: David’s Bridal
Cake: Mother of the Groom

Kalena & Kenny | Vue Corvallis Wedding

Kalena & Kenny’s wedding at Vue Corvallis was so much fun and jam packed full of amazingly thoughtful personal details – Kalena even made her own wooden bridal bouquet! Kalena & Kenny and most of their college friends are ballroom dancers and they surprised everyone with their
elegant first dance dance to Kermit’s Rainbow Connection. As the song started to wind down all of their dancer friends, in perfect sync, spun out on the dance floor to join them for a group ballroom dance. I’m pretty sure the whole room gasped and then laughed. It’s probably one of the most beautiful and funnest choreographed first dances I’ve seen – Nice work you guys!
I’ll let their photos tell the rest of their story:

Venue: Vue Corvallis
