Chipper & Laura .... Coos Bay Oregon Wedding Photographers

 

Well I have been waiting for this wedding ever since I did Chipper and Laura's engagement session last year! I really enjoyed getting to spend that time with them, dreaming over what their wedding day would look like and it was so much fun to see their dreams come true. Chipper and Laura planned a beautiful day to celebrate their love. They were married by Chipper's grandfather in the church he helped build and start. Their families are already seamless and Chipper and Laura have plenty of support and love as they embark on this new phase of life. 

All of the girls started the day at The Beauty Bar where Kayla did hair and make up;

 

After everyone was all dolled up we headed over to the Coos Art Museum for some fun Bridal shots!

 Onto the guys! Jamie had guy duty and she kept saying how on top of everything they were. In fact they were waiting for her ready to put on cuff links and ties just for pictures! Now that's my kinda' Groom :)

 

 The ceremony was perfect. It was reminded so much of my own wedding complete with some of the same songs! It really brought back some memories;

 

 I was so excited to get to do Chipper and Laura's Bridal session in the Coos Art Museum where the reception was held. It was an amazing venue and really captured the feeling that Chipper and Laura wanted to convey. I know how hard Laura worked to secure a reception venue after her initial site had to cancel because of a broken water pipe and the resulting mildew problems. I think after seeing her efforts come together at the Museum she was so happy that they had to change up their plans! I can't believe how wonderful "option B" turned out!!

 Congratulations Laura and Chipper!!!

It was a good day for me...

I just got done shooting Laura and Chipper's wedding. It was a wonderful, wonderful event and so beautiful! And I came away with a new favorite ring shot ;) Their theme was 1940's red, black and white so how perfect is this! More to come!

The .P. Family

My how time flies!! It's been nearly a year since I last photographed these guys and WOW have these little ones grown. What an amazing difference a year makes! Last year little Cooper had literally just started walking, days before our session and the weather was well, horrible. Let's be honest :) Cooper wanted nothing but the air in his hair as he tested out his new "wheels" and the skies just wouldn't let up. So we managed through the storms and in between hail all the while Cooper just kept on running. Needless to say I felt I owed Amy a "real" session with no hail and Cooper's well worn running shoes. I don't think we disappointed this morning! Cooper and big sis Grace were in GREAT moods and guess what, we had SUN! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Amy, as always, and the kids just lit up when Dad Chris joined for a few shots. It was a wonderful morning and hopefully I'll get to see Amy and her family before next year! That's what play dates are for right? Mom time!
