When we met with Michelle and Mario several months ago, we knew immediately that working with them was going to be amazing! And I mean A-MAZ-ING. :) Michelle is crazy about pictures, she made a comment during our consultation that it’s one of the most important elements to her wedding. Now that, dear internet, is pure awesome. I agree with her wholeheartedly. Not only because I am a photographer, but because your pictures are how you will reflect on everything that happened on your wedding day. The preparation, the raw emotion, the vows, the kiss, the cake, the first dance, the bouquet and garter toss, and the final sendoff. When all is said and done, you can relive your memories through your images.
Michelle and Mario did not disappoint! :) They chose to do their engagement session in Silverton, Oregon and Silver Falls, which is where Mario proposed. Jeff and I had never been to Silver Falls, but you all know how I feel about waterfalls, so I was totally thrilled! Michelle was so giddy for me to see the falls, knowing I was going to be smitten the moment I laid eyes on it! And she was right, it was breathtaking and I was enthralled! Michelle and Mario, thank you so much for such an amazing shoot- we had the best time with you two! We are so excited for your wedding this June at Sweet Cheeks Winery. :) You guys rock!
This images just makes me happy. It’s so Michelle and Mario. :)
Jeff caught this picture, which I adore. He is a rockstar when it comes to ground-up shots. It’s become his thing. :)
When we arrived at the falls, the lighting was seriously amazing.
I think the most romantic art of a kiss is right before the kiss actually takes place. ♥
Another infamous Jeff shot. Yeah, I had photo envy. :)
This is where Mario proposed. :) Aww, love.
One of the greatest things Silver Falls has to offer is the ability to walk under the falls! Yeah, we got a little wet, but who’s afraid of a little water?
Mario hand-picked the song for their slideshow, which totally fits them! I love it!
