oregon country wedding at the dalles ranch

this was my first time working at the dalles ranch and I wholeheartedly believe the miles of dusty gravel roads are worth it! The Dalles Ranch is a spectacular 23 person luxury cabin on a remote lake overlooking Mt. Hood and they do a smash up job hosting a wedding. close family and wedding party stayed in comfortable resort style rooms and guests who didn't want to drive back, camped nearby. nice choice of venue and congratulations kellie and brian!

wedding photography at mcmennamin's edgefield

for the very first time i covered an outside wedding ceremony where ... and i know this is surprising cause we live in oregon... but it rained. umbrella worthy rain. and despite the heroic effort of a gentleman who followed me around with an umbrella the whole ceremony, my cameras got so wet! thankfully they dried just fine and i got some great shots because the guests and bride and groom smiled through the whole thing. it was really beautiful! and actually made the whole day more fun! who doesn't like a little rain on their wedding day? congratulations mallika and aaron! xoxo sara

 oh oh oh this is my favorite portrait session i've done all year. identical honey suckle, monkey pumpkins. i could just eat them up.   there were moments while editing out almost 100 photos where one of them is looking weird or horribly confused or angry while the other one cooed at me, when i questioned whether twins were really my bag. (and cursed ann geddes, see below)  but, yes.  i'm in.  bring on the multiples.    thank you and congratulations liz and travis!  :)  sv
