From Mi Amore Foto… This is a very special wedding, dear to my heart. Not only did the couple ask me to photograph their beautiful wedding, they also had my husband and I stay with them and their family in the cabin for the weekend. It is moments like these that are so special and intimate. The bride designed her own invitations, did her own floral arrangements, hand dyed the linens for the table, made all of the deserts from scratch…the list goes on and on! Something really unique and special about this wedding is the fact that the groom made both of their rings from deer antlers. They led their family atop a mountain on Hood River (Oregon) and exchanged their vows with their dog in tow. Needless to say, the day was perfection and I am so honored to have been a part of it.
