Tillamook Wedding Photographer
When I first met with Lauren and Derek, they were planning for a wedding tucked away in the woods of Hood River, OR. Unfortunately, those plans fell through and they decided to head for the beach instead. I couldn’t help but think back to this little bump in the road, while everyone gathered round the hilltop after dinner. Lauren and Derek were in a sweet embrace as they watched the sun set over the ocean. Meanwhile, their song randomly played from the dance floor.
A moment in time that never would have happened in the woods.
It was kismet, and perfect.
The rest of the day unfolded like you would expect from people that put the most value on family, friends and good food: lots of hugs, laughs and warm, happy bellies.
Special thanks to Jade Sheldon-Burnsed for joining me at this wedding.

on February 21, 2013 11:37 pmI just have to say, this is probably my favorite wedding you've posted (for a million reasons) but especially becuase it really showcases your eye for the most genuine of moments. Your pics can make me tear up over a couple I've never even met, and make me feel like I am a guest who has known them for years. I believe that is what makes your work so powerful. Keep it up, Kim! These are absolutely wonderful. :)
