Patty and Natalie chose the cutest cottage in Jacksonville, OR to say their vows. The Tiger Lily Inn is an intimate venue that can host up to 100 guests on their park-like grounds. Complete with 2 suites for your stay and in house wedding planning and coordination, it’s an all in one package that makes for such a relaxing wedding weekend.

This evening in Palm Springs was a way for Koren and Joe to get portraits before their ceremony with friends and family the following day. It provided them the option to see each other in a more intimate setting. To make sure the focus was on each other. And to have portraits in the Southern California desert landscape.

From our initial email, I knew I was going to love Stefanee + Chason! These two, a 3rd grade teacher and lineman, were wanting to plan an intimate little wedding on Stefanee’s family farm in Ruch, Oregon. Tucked in between the Applegate Valley Wine Trail and the quaint historical town of Jacksonville, Ruch is filled with farms, rolling meadows, and beautiful mountains and rivers.

To my best friend…

Watching you step into motherhood has been an honor. I’m so proud of you. I watch how careful you are to show your excitement. Teetering on letting yourself be openly ecstatic about meeting him and quietly having a heart for everyone who struggles with the challenges that come with pregnancy and motherhood.
