I know you’ve heard me say it over and over, but we truly feel so honored to be such a huge part of our couples lives by documenting their wedding day. We spend the months prior to the wedding getting to know each couple through out the engagement session and emails. So once the wedding comes around, we feel like we know them more as friends than clients.
Margot and Chris had their ceremony and reception at the Blue Rooster Bed and Breakfast on Lorane hwy in Eugene. We haven’t shot a wedding there since 2008, so we were very excited to have the chance to shoot their again. Kandice, the owner of Green-Eyed Girl Events handled all of the wedding details and did a fabulous job! I met Kandice at the Oregon Wedding Showcase and later shot some promo pictures for her, and quickly learned that she is a woman of MANY talents! She is not only a wedding planner, but a volleyball coach at Sheldon and an elementary teacher! Okay, back to our regular scheduled program, or wedding.
Margot and Chris’ wedding hit a tender spot in my heart. Some key people, who I know would have done anything to attend their wedding, were absent. Margot’s Mother had passed away years before, Chris’ Mother had also passed away years before, and Chris’ Father had just passed away two weeks before their wedding. I couldn’t help but cry when Margot emailed me to tell me about Chris’ Father. But they did a wonderful thing in honoring their parents. They had three candles lit throughout the ceremony, and I later placed the candles in the grass with the sunset so I could get a dramatic image with the light.
Thank you, you two. Your wedding will always have a special place in our hearts. Etched in our memory as a very special day.
