Josh and Elizabeth- dallas, oregon


You are going to LOVE this colorful, garden party meets country gallery! Elizabeth and Josh are not only some of the most laid back people I have ever met, but truly some of the nicest and generous people! From our initial call and throughout the wedding day, I have been nothing but impressed with how easy going and fun they are to be around, and their wedding proves that!

Okay, okay. I know I included a TON of photos of Elizabeth's ring, but HOW BEAUTIFUL IS IT?! Seriously so gorgeous and I am obsessed. Not to mention that she is my wedding band TWIN. I was so excited to see that! Her band is identical to mine, so you automatically know this wedding has great taste.

There is a STUNNING AirBNB out in Dallas, OR that Josh and Elizabeth reserved for their parties the night before and to get ready in. It has a gorgeous view of the river, beautiful rooms, and makes for a stunning photo location.

Josh and Elizabeth opted to have a first look and private vow reading at the AirBNB, and it was SO sweet. Josh's reaction just shows you how much he loves Elizabeth and how meaningful their relationship is to one another. Being able to be apart of couple's vows is absolutely the most special part of wedding photography, and I am so grateful for couple's trusting me with these precious moments.

Next, we headed over to the venue for family photos, formals, and the ceremony. These two put SO much work into their venue and I am SO impressed. Josh's family owns a gorgeous piece of property out in Dallas, and I am so in love with it! The views are stunning, and it was so peaceful.

Can you even believe how much work these two and their family put into getting the barn ready for the wedding?! It looked stunning and had so many fun details! Josh's dad told me that only a few week prior it had still been full of their horses! Everything turned out great, and they put so much work into the adorable details. It was a perfect space for their ceremony and reception.

During my consultation call with Elizabeth and Josh, Josh had one specific question for: "Do you like pizza." I, of course, said "YES!" Not only do.my husband and I eat pizza every single Friday night, but I don't think I am ever sick of pizza. So when Josh told me they were having a pizza food truck cater their wedding, I was immediately excited, and Oregon's Dough on the Go fire roasted pizza did NOT disappoint.

After dinner and speeches the newlyweds cut their cake and had their first dances. The cake was a lemon cake, and it was AMAZING. I am still craving it, no joke.

After all the dancing and parting was over, the couple was ready for their getaway. Get this, Elizabeth found these adorable eco-friendly confetti poppers full of dried flower petals! They turned out so fun, but unexpectedly loud!
