A Summer Love Tale: Emily and Myles' Dreamy Bend Wedding

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the expansive ranch, Emily and Myles embraced the enchanting moments of their summer wedding. The air was filled with laughter and joy as guests reveled in the vibrant atmosphere, savoring the delightful aroma of tacos from El Sancho.

Under the white reception tent, adorned with dangling flowers and custom dinner menus, the couple's first dances unfolded with grace and emotion. Father-daughter and mother-son dances were tender moments, capturing the essence of family bonds. A unique touch to the toasts brought laughter as a friend introduced each guest with humor, creating an atmosphere of shared stories and shared joy.

Dinner, a feast of tacos, delighted the guests, and as the sun dipped lower, the scene shifted to the lawn. Corn hole games added a playful touch, and as happy tears mingled with the setting sun, the day transitioned into a relaxed evening of cherished moments.

The cake, a cute centerpiece, stood as a sweet symbol of the union, while guests basked in the glow of a Central Oregon summer evening. Family photos and sunset captures showcased the love between Emily and Myles, their personalities shining through as Emily adorned her fedora and Myles exuded charm in his velvet blue suit.

Surrounded by the beauty of wildflowers and the warmth of Central Oregon, this summer wedding in Bend became a tapestry of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. As the sun finally set, casting a final burst of color across the sky, Emily, Myles, and their sweet dog embraced the magic of their day – a perfect blend of nature, celebration, and the timeless promise of love.

Planning Lighting for Your Wedding Day | Bend, Oregon Wedding Photographer

I leverage natural light because I want to capture the mood--the precise feeling--of the moment, not artificially alter it.
