Every once in awhile my brides & grooms let me join them in their pre-wedding festivities. Fortunately for me, my couples tend to be pretty amazing. And when amazing people get married, they tend to do extra amazing things. I knew Jared & Heidi (you'll get to see their gorgeous wedding in a few days!!) were going to be especially great to work with when they asked me to document their entire wedding party - as well as a few handfuls of close family - participating in Bend's Cycle Pub...the day before their wedding! Jared & Heidi had planned a destination wedding in Central Oregon and knew most of their family and friends would be traveling from California for their big day. Planning special moments to show appreciation to their guests was of utmost importance to this sweet couple. And when they asked if I wouldn't mind coming along to capture a few of those special moments, I was thrilled.
I'll be posting Jared & Heidi's wedding images soon, but first it makes me so happy to get to share a few photos from the days before they said I Do...
