Beach Destination Wedding : Chelsea & Travis

When Chelsea first messaged me asking me to shoot their destination wedding in Florence Oregon I was PUMPED!!! Like off my rocker excited, people! I had never been to Oregon and had only heard about the never ending sand dunes and gorgeous beaches. The pictures in my head weren’t nearly as amazing as the real life thing, I was so blown away!! I could have stayed there for weeks on end with the warm white sand between my toes and the salty ocean air blowing through my hair. And the SUNsets were pretty spectacular too…. My hubby and I are good friends with almost everyone in Chelsea’s family so being there with them to celebrate really was special!! Len helped with some of the ceremony setup and even did some second shooting for me at the ceremony so some of the photos below are his!! My protege 😉 This is the first destination wedding I’ve shot, so I’m no real expert, but in my mind I imagine they’re all just as relaxed as this one was. Without all of the extravagant details to set up at one of the regular soirees here they were able to really just BE there and enjoy the day. We could not have asked for better weather and I really could not ever ask for a better job… haha! I had to pinch myself a few times while shooting there – seriously!!

Thanks so, so, SO much for having me along you guys. And Chels, thanks for being so persistent with your wishes to hire me 😉 I’m supes glad it all worked out and feel so so lucky to have captured your big day! XO
