Jason and Meggan said their “I do’s” on a perfect summer day in the Willamette Valley on July 17th at Postlewait’s Country Weddings.
Meggan could not have sparkled more in her beautiful gown that went perfect with her bridesmaids burnt orange dresses and gold heels. Groomsmen wore black tuxes with persimmon vests. This pick of color left you craving fall with the beauty of the warm autumn color pallet.
Before the couple celebrated their vows they dedicated a candle lighting ceremony in memory of the groom's mother, which soon followed the couple committing their lives to one another under a canopy of oak trees.
Their love for one another is evident in all of their images amongst the romantic setting of vineyards, orchards, babbling creek and lush green gardens that Postlewait’s has to offer. Their guests joined in on the couple's happiness by enjoying the menu of tasteful appetizers, delicious buffet and sweet cupcakes. Dancing continued late into the evening under the stars and lights of the outside dance floor. A perfect celebration!
We were thankful to be invited to capture Jason and Meggan’s memories and wish them a lifetime full of happiness.

Guests comfortably participated in this Catholic Mass , which was even more special for the couple since the brides brother, Fr. Josef, performed their ceremony. Working through the tears and emotions that followed the readings and homily, Dean and Emma were welcomed as a new married couple with an applause that filled the church once they were pronounced husband and wife.
Images of Dean and Emma were captured under a treasure of stained glass windows, that decorated the walls of this 100 plus year old church.
After the ceremony, the couple was escorted on the groom’s fire engine to meet up with friends and family at the reception which took place in a tented, outside field at a private residence.
Emma wearing her white gown, her bridesmaids in navy blue, and the men looking sharp in their charcoal grey suites, decorated the reception tent as they made their way through visiting with guest.
The delicious BBQ chicken that was cooked on site, was quickly enjoyed by all the guest and the evening ended with lots of energy on the dance floor.
We were blessed to be invited to capture Dean and Emma’s memories and wish them a lifetime full of happiness.

Rebecca created her lively, yellow and white, spring bouquet while Fred handmade rustic woodcut signs. The couple transformed Rebecca's childhood home into a fresh, country-style wedding. With all the love of family and friends, Rebecca and Fred said their vows under a fairly protected canopy of trees, while rain drops started to pour. No amount of bad weather could stop this couple from making their promise to each other. After saying their "I do's", Rebecca and Fred joined their family and friends to warm up by the outdoor fire, while enjoying homemade BBQ and their favorite beverage.
The unpredictability of an Oregon spring wedding is captured in Fred's expression. Nothing but pure joy! We were honored to share these moments and wish them the very best!
