Sandi & Kevin :: A Postlewait's Wedding

It's been a beautiful summer for weddings at Michelle Cross Photography! Last month I had the joy of meeting Sandi and Kevin in Portland for their heartfelt wedding at Postlewait's. Sandi is a high school English teacher and is the type of girl who absolutely loves the details. Fortunately for me, this meant her wedding was beyond fun to photograph. From the flowers to the seating arrangement signs to the gorgeous tables handmade by Kevin (they were incredible!!), no detail was overlooked. It was a joy to photograph these two beautiful people and I wish them all the happiness in the world as they start this exciting new adventure together as husband and wife.

Many thanks to Josselyn Peterson for being my amazing second shooter.

Colton – along with my mom, and Colton’s mom, and anyone I’ve talked to at any length about this summer’s weddings - can attest to the fact that I’ve been looking forward to Jason and Kahly’s wedding since I first spoke with Kahly on the phone. I have the honor of working with a collection of truly wonderful couples and, without fail, I leave every wedding feeling beyond blessed to have the clients I do. Jason and Kahly are the epitome of everything that is great about my job. They’re fun, down to earth, naturally beautiful people whose highest priority was making sure their wedding was a memorable getaway for their guests. Ever since hearing about their shared passion for fly fishing and their love of the outdoors, I not-so-secretly hoped they’d book me for their big day. And when they did hire me, the countdown began until I was able to capture their wedding at Camp Sherman’s Lake Creek Lodge.

Jason and Kahly opted for one of my most favorite types of celebrations. Living in Seattle, they chose Central Oregon as a destination for their wedding and offered their guests an extended weekend of gorgeous outdoor activities, good beer, and great (fly) fishing. While their ceremony may have been on a Saturday afternoon, their wedding took place over the course of a nearly a week as they were surrounded by the best of family and friends. Marriage is a big leap and simply put, there’s no better way for a couple to jump into the adventure than by doing so with those who have supported and encouraged their relationship along the way.

Jason and Kahly, a million thanks are in order for letting me share in your celebration. Your day was beyond beautiful and I left your wedding wondering how I got lucky enough to document a day like your own. Thank you for being such a joy to work with and thank you for making my job so easy!!
