There’s something to be said about the camp wedding. An entire weekend of outdoor activities with friends & family sounds nice, right? Sage + Thomas had their guests camp out at Camp Lane near Florence, Oregon (with no cell phone service). Folks stayed in tree houses, lean-tos, yurts, an A-frame or came ready with their own tent. Leah Verwey showed up the morning of the wedding to photograph and everyone was hanging out in their casual clothes, playing games and drinking out of their designated weekend mason jar. The day turned from formal ceremony & dinner, and then retreated back to casual camp dancing and fire pit gazing. Ah.. so perfect for the spring and summer months…

Country farm wedding: Hailey + Jordan

Hailey + Jordan grew up in a small town, wanted to keep their wedding theme simple, somewhat rustic, have their friends and family contribute, and host it all with a champagne taste on a beer budget. Did they do it? Of course, and it turned out perfect. With Jordan being a craftsman, they were able to make most of their decorations. And with a friend owning a local venue, they were able to celebrate on a rustic farm with all 150 of their guests.

Modern home engagement shoot

categories Engagements

Janet and James are a very simple and relaxed couple, so for their engagement shoot they wanted to capture a very natural vibe that reflected what their day-to-day life is like. Caroline Tran decided to do a lifestyle shoot with them, documenting them hanging out around a gorgeous Hollywood Hills home (that actually belongs to a friend of theirs) that had recently been featured in Architecture Digest. It was all together a down to earth, casual but of course slightly glammed-up shoot.
