bride and groom laughing and hugging next to the willamette river

Second shooting for Stevi Sayler Photography

Working with my photo-wife, Stevi, is always the highlight of my summer… especially since that’s basically the only time we get to see each other during wedding season.

Some folks might say that it’s impossible to have a romantic backyard wedding. Well those folks have clearly never been to Oregon; where backyards can be riverfront property and hold over 150 people who are going to dance the night away! The energy that normally would have gone into a venue instead went into thoughtful details, taking good care of their guests, and gifts for their wedding party – the guys all got fun socks that recalled something personal about them. Natalie + Scott were surrounded by multiple generations of family, friends, and farm land. My favorite part of the day was Natalie’s laugh and smile… and the BBQ food-truck that served us all dinner.

Congratulations Natalie + Scott! Here are a few highlights from the day!
