Ok, I'm really not going to apologize for the amount of pictures of this post, because I love them and I loved this wedding, and I loved this couple.  Anne & Neil found me through Raj & Karishma, who I was priviledged to photograph in India, and when they asked me to photograph their Hindu wedding in Ohio, it was an easy yes.  Besides who DOESN'T want to be known as a Ohio Destination Wedding Photographer???  These are pictures from three days of ceremonies, including the Mehendi (henna), Satak ceremony, main wedding ceremony, and their colorful, peacock-themed reception.  For local Ohio couples interested in great vendors, check out:  Florals by Pavi Designs, Henna by Rita Patel of Ritas Beauty Salon, DJ and Sound by DJ Naveen.  And I had the lovely pleasure of having Arielle Doneson shoot with me, a HUGE thank you to her! henna oregon photographermehendi ceremony housesunlight bride hennahenna women ceremonyhands with henna portland photographernice light at indian ceremonyhome indian decor ceremony photosyellow paste laugh groomsatak ceremony groom yellowgroom rice in hair photohindu ceremony overheadgroom yellow photographer ceremonyindian groom photographer portlandfeet yellow hands prepare ceremonyblack white face paste indian ceremonygroom smears yellow on woman indiacolor blue boy sari indian ceremonysatak ceremony photographsbride satak dressportland bride makeup indian ceremonybride getting ready hindubride and mother portrait smilebride indian earingsblack white bangels indiahindu bride portrait photographerelephant ganesha weddingceremony flowers ohio weddingwedding ceremony sitegroom horse indian wedding photographerportland indian celebration dance horsesister groom dance indian outdoorsgroom waiting on indian horsefamily groom dance street indianboy asleep by groom on horseentrance of the groomgroom waiting to enter hindi ceremonydancing celebration before weddingheart blanket indian groom smileblack white indian ceremony blanket separationgroom wreath on brideice cream indian ceremonyhindu bride flarering exchange hindu ceremonyturbans fire ceremony portland photographeroregon photographer indian wedding elephantbride groom indian portrait outdoorportraits by tree indian ceremonybride portrait decorated indian ceremony photographyindian bride and groom hold handslove of indian bride & groomphoto of indian groom portraitportland laugh bride and groom squeeze couple marriedportrait groom bride red goldportrait love indian bridegreen field photographer indian weddingbride groom indian wedding togetherwedding reception ohiocupcake entrance wedding toaststable centerpiece indian wedding blue peacock themedance performance for bride and groomtoasts by maids of honorfirst dance bride and groom ohio photographershadow dance dress swirl indian ceremonyblind test reception laughdinner reception weddingcolorful wedding danceblack white dancing fun indian weddingportland photographer confetti dancehand art reception dancinggroom dancing in receptionsister of groom dancingtriptych of reception colorsbride during dancingblur motion dancing wedding indianfun dancing indian weddingred blue lights receptionindian wedding dance partyVisit my client proofing site to view slideshows & purchase prints!

Allison and Stephen are one of those couples who are so unreservedly in-love, they appear at any second that they could explode into a billion butterflies and flowers and fireworks.  And I'm not being cheesy.  I had a blast on their engagement session but seeing them around their family and friends is an entire other level of happiness.  Their wedding was held at the Beazell Memorial Forest, in a barn, surrounded by trees.  They did many of the details themselves and the desert bar catering was deliciously done by New Morning Bakery. wedding beazell forest corvallisdress details portland weddingsign in letters wedding cakeparty favors weddingbride getting ready black whitefirst look oregon weddingportrait bride groom walk in the forestforest portrait in oregon weddingbride and groom portrait beautiful green forestbride portrait groom laddergroom portrait bride banner flagsbride portrait closeup eyes sparkleoregon wedding corvallis treeswedding portrait love smilesbarn portrait wedding kisscorvallis bridal party portraitbridesmaid portrait flowers oregongroom men jump hover in airgroom shoes detailsbridal party portraitfamily pictures oregon photographygrandmother love blessing weddingwords hanging on barn wedding lovefather in law and groom hugging walkingdetails before weddingrings on bibles weddingparents down the aisle weddingexchange of rings ceremonybride expressions funny laughing wedding ceremonycorvallis wedding kisspronounced husband wife joyoregon wedding celebrationring shot wedding love books flowersbride and groom first danceholding each other close dark string lightscake and dance weddinglaughing feed cake at oregon weddingguest wedding kiss oregonbride father groom mother photographymother groom dance wedding sadbeazell forest barn lights in eveningfather bride dancehappy dancing at oregon weddingbride dancing and having funbride garter remove embarrassedbride and groom dance blur lightsparty with bride and groom top oregon wedding photographeroregon groom dancing goofyphotobooth oregon funny propsbride photobooth butterfly catcherportland photobooth funny oregoncorvallis photobooth creative funthank you photobooth bride groom corvallis

Diana & John

Downtown Eugene Oregon, at the First Church of the Nazarene, two of the nicest people ever in the history of the universe got married.  Then we headed over to the Rose Garden for portraits.  Brides, if you ever feel you are somehow short on compliments on how beautiful you look on your wedding day (Diana wasn't), go to a Rose Garden on a Sunday and people will tell you just how gorgeous you are. eugene rose garden wedding lovegroom portrait brides shoesfirst church nazarene eugene weddingblack white bride getting readytrophy ring shot cakedress brides mothers fasten getting readyputting on the wedding dresseugene wedding first nazarene churchbride groom exit pronouncedbridal party portrait eugene weddingbridesmaids portrait eugene photographerbride groom exit church flower pedalportrait couple weddingcouple love portrait roserose garden wall portrait weddingbride groom sitting on bench eugenewedding rose garden eugene treeholding each other wedding daysmiles wedding day soft light glowbride portrait walk groomdress bow eugene rose gardeneyes closed bride portland eugene weddingeugene rose garden portrait weddinglove in the gardenbride and groom portraits on garden benchin the flowers portrait weddingportrait of diana john weddinggroom holding bride portrait nice lightVisit my client proofing site to view slideshows & purchase prints!
