This was my first time documenting a wedding at River Bell Farm in Jefferson, Oregon. Let me tell you, this is an incredible venue. I loved everything about it! The areas where the bride & groom get ready, the landscaping, ceremony site + the beautiful barn for the reception. Highly recommend them!

On this day the wind was blowing around 50mph in the gorge and there was almost no chance for outdoor portraits but the lighting in this home was so beautiful and we were able to sneak out for a couple shots without being blown away.

I hear so many brides saying their Fiance doesn’t want to do it because they don’t want to “ruin the moment”, this made me want to write a little about why I LOVE the first look and maybe you can use these reasons to weigh in and see what you think.

Meghan & Sam contacted me just a couple months before their wedding and told me all about their small and simple wedding. Their main priority was to make sure their families were able to enjoy the event in a small gathering that included some delicious food, board games to play and stay entertained as the bride and groom made their way around to each table to greet their guests and enjoy some fabulous music. They ended the night with a glow stick send-off and it was a hit!
