Alexandra & Daniel’s Wedding in Paradise
…Springs, that is! What a stunning couple Alex & Daniel make, and their wedding day was a true reflection of the love, joy and laughter they share. These two are the sort of couple who you just know are meant for one another and seeing them together reminds me what makes this job so rewarding. From the moment I met these two I could tell they were madly in love just by the way they looked at each other, and while I’ve only spent a short time around them, it became instantly apparent that they were a perfect match. The pair reside in Burbank, CA (which was coincidental since that’s where I was born) but met here in Oregon where they’re both from so they decided to celebrate back home with close friends and family.
They chose an absolutely gorgeous venue in the small town of Monroe, just outside Corvallis, and it was absolutely breathtaking. As soon as you pull into the driveway it’s like being over at a retreat far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and you instantly feel relaxed and on vacation. The ceremony was scheduled to take place outside overlooking the gorgeous property, but our usual inclement Oregon weather was teasing us throughout the day once again, but thankfully the weather Gods were on our side and an hour before the ceremony was set to begin the sun made an appearance and it was beautiful the rest of the day and into the evening. Phew! We had a fabulous team of professional vendors working which made for a smooth and fun wedding.
We had the opportunity to work alongside Anne & Paul Nunn of Anne Nunn Photography and they were awesome! We connected several months before the wedding and Anne was a dream vendor as she was in constant communication leading up and through the wedding and the photos rock! They speak for themselves so be sure and take a peek at her blog for all of them. We also got to work with one of our good friends, Ryan, of Focal Point Digital Media, and his work never disappoints, plus he’s always fun to hang out with on the wedding day. Jesse of Event Team Northwest did an amazing job of MCing the event and kept the party going strong till the end! Mike and his crew at OSU Catering did a great job with the hors d’oeuvres, entrees and bar service and everything looked and tasted fantastic!
The gorgeous floral was provided by Kate at Flowers & Felicity (website in progress) out of Corvallis who was also a dream to work with. The evening was a most memorable one filled with an intimate ceremony, funny and touching toasts by the bridal party and friends, special signature drinks created by the couple themselves and a dramatic first dance. Alexandra & Daniel we are so happy for you both and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wonderful celebration. Cheers to many years of love and laughter!
