Samantha and Brandon held their beautiful ceremony and reception at the amazing Cascade Hills Country Club. It was an intimate ceremony followed by an elegant reception. The girls had their hair done at Belladonna in Cascade, and then got dressed at the family’s residence. Samantha wore an immaculate Monique Luo gown and gorgeous plum heels, girls in turquoise, the guys in brown suits. I loved the unique color scheme, and all the details and planning that went into their event. They had a perfect day!





A gift from Brandon ~




Doesn’t she look amazing?

They chose to see each other before the ceremony, which I’m always happy about. Not only does it help the timeline flow and give us more opportunities for photos, it is {hands-down} my favorite part of the day. I just love these romantic, candid, sweet moments that they get to share, all alone. Just the two of them. <3





One of my favorite shots of the entire day:

The bridal party came out to join us in the family’s yard. Beautiful, beautiful space!


Ladies ~

~ and Gentlemen ~


Fierce!! Check them out!


A little celebrating before heading to my favorite bridge! Almond champagne: yum! :)



{ So fierce, so fabulous! }


{ love love love! }

We headed back to Cascade Hills ~ time to get married!






After family pictures in the courtyard, the three of us snuck off for a few more romantic pictures…








Yay! I love when a bride is brave enough to lie down across a pile of rocks for a pose. Always worth it! :)


This image has my heart. Completely.

Cascade Hills is so beautiful, I hope I can shoot there again sometime soon :)

{ So glam ~ swoon! }

Time to toast, eat, dance and be celebrate! Love the white-on-white elegance ~


Their first dance – practiced and perfect!



Congratulations you two!! You have been such a pleasure to work with, and wonderful to get to know. Wishing you the very best!
