Sisters, Oregon Wedding | Lexi & Jake

 As a wedding photographer, I have had the pleasure of capturing countless special moments between couples on their big day. But this wedding was particularly special to me, as it was for a good friend of mine. From the moment she told me about her engagement, we both knew that photography would play a crucial role in capturing her special day. And I was honored to offer my skills and services to make her day as memorable as possible.

Lexi and Jake's wedding was originally planned for September, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they had to move it up to April with only a few months to plan. Despite the short notice, the day was nothing short of amazing. From the energy and excitement in the bride's getting-ready room to the stunning natural backdrop of the ceremony site, every moment was filled with joy and love.

As a photographer, it was my job to capture those moments and create lasting memories for the happy couple. And I couldn't have been more thrilled to do so for my dear friend. Seeing her and her husband exchange their vows and celebrate with their loved ones was a truly unforgettable experience, and I am grateful to have been a part of it.

If you are planning your own wedding, I cannot stress enough the importance of having a skilled and experienced photographer to capture every special moment. It's a day that you'll want to remember for the rest of your life, and having beautiful photos to look back on will help you relive the magic of your wedding day for years to come.
