We had the pleasure of getting to know Chris and Christie during their epic engagement session in Cannon Beach in September, so getting ready for their big day was very exciting as it felt like we were going to spend a day with friends. Their December wedding day was gorgeous, a day we actually saw the sun! We had a great plan for indoor pictures at the hotel should it rain or be too cold but it was a happy surprise that we were able to do all of the bridal party photos outside, a rare treat in the winter! We started the day in Redmond for photos of getting ready and group photos before heading to their church ceremony…
Love Dad’s reaction to seeing his daughter for the first time!
Aaron and I usually split up for getting ready photos, I go with the bride, he with the groom so the photos of the groom and groomsmen getting ready are generally a surprise when I edit. These were especially hilarious as apparently they had to hit the hotel gym to get really pumped up for seeing Christie and the bridesmaids? Work it boys!
Blue skies in December, are you kidding me??
The hotel had some great interior areas (not always the case I find!) and I particularly loved this snowflake wall – perfect for a winter wedding!
I always enjoy seeing the different emotions and nerves that come out during the ceremony.
The photos we got at Hidden Meadows (in the dark freezing cold btw) are some of my favorite of the couple. So gorgeous!
Their black & white with a splash of red theme was perfect for a pre-holidays wedding. Elegant and romantic all rolled into one.
It also happened to be the bride’s grandmother’s birthday – I thought it was so special that they honored that with a surprise cupcake and candle, very sweet!
The dance floor was packed most of the night! The photo booth was a great addition to the reception as well. This first photo was one of my favorites. Their faces left to right are saying, “Say what?”, “I don’t think so”, “Oh hell no”, CRAZY! So hilarious!
Baby with a moustache? Yes please. Congratulations Chris and Christie! Let’s meet up for that drink soon!
