    Natalie + Brendan | Rainy Fall Wedding at Silver Falls State Park

    Natalie + Brendan planned a semi-destination wedding for their friends and family at Silver Falls State Park just outside Salem, Oregon.
    …I say semi-destination because the parents, wedding party, and some family all got to stay in the cabins for the weekend.

    It started raining the day before the wedding, but any long-time Oregonian knows that October is an unpredictable month. While the ground was soggy the next day, the sky was dry and perfectly overcast for soft lighting and even temps. Natalie and Brendan included their young german shepherd as flower-dog and walked down the aisle together after being escorted into the ceremony space by their respective parents. After the reception the folks lucky enough to stay over enjoyed full tummies and the patter of rain falling on giant maple leaves to send them off to dreamy land.

    James Gray

    "I feel so lucky to have had Amanda there with us to document every major milestone in our relationship: engagement, wedding and now our very first pregnancy!

    She has become such an important part of our lives and made each event even more special with her photography and positive energy."

    - Erika + Matthew

    "Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera... All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come.

    More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does."

    - Alison + Austin

    "I told [Amanda] I wanted some branding and lifestyle photos for my new website and social posts and she more than delivered!

    Seriously. I refer Amanda to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves, their business, their products, their event, whatever."

    - Kasey Yanna | Freedom Feels Communications

    "With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend."

    - Danielle + Matt

    "[Amanda] excels at: attention to detail & understanding the story of each client and shoot, kind and direct communication, and articulating clear instructions to whomever is being photographed.

    [...] she has a special ability to help bring out the best in you and give you photos where you shine!"
