Valentine's Feature - Florals We Heart

Out of all of the pretty things we’ve laid our eyes on, florals are always the detail that take our breath away. From the bright and bold to the delicate and soft, we’re obsessed with it all!

Over the last year we’ve been beyond lucky to capture so many incredibly divine floral creations from all over Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and everywhere in-between. We’ve been completely obsessed with the new, brilliant ideas coming out of the tiny weddings and elopements of 2020. All of the insanely beautiful hanging installations and the dainty bouquets have us dreaming forever and ever.

We beyond hyped to see what new beauty 2021 brings to the realm of florals, but until then, feast your eyes on some of the most darling creations of all!

2020 - Moments with Alicia Lucia Photography

2020 was by far one of the most challenging years our team has ever faced, yet through all the difficult descisons and make-or-break moments, we still found the light on the other side of it all.

After an intense global pandemic forced our weddings and shoots to a screeching halt, we weren’t sure what to do, but somehow we found a new path and gained a better perspective on our lives, our business, and our community. We found new ways to capture weddings/elopements and support our couples as they navigated this insane year. And we also found even more opportunities to create beauty through styled shoots and portrait sessions. If one thing is sure, 2020 reminded us of why we set out to do what we do in the first place: love. Watching love win over and over and over again this year, despite all of the odds was something to behold. And we once again fell in love with with what we have the immense privilege of doing, capturing those undeniably beautiful moments of pure joy.

The biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts goes out to every single couple, family, and individual who continually put their trust in us during a year where everything was uncertain, yet everything mattered even more. And to all of our vendor friends, thank you for riding this one out with us, we’ve never had so much faith in the wedding community as we do right here and now.

No year will ever be quite like 2020, and while we’re grateful to see beacons of hope at start of the new year, we’re forever be grateful for the year that gave us all a chance to start anew and to believe in the magic that is love.

On the Oregon Coast, Magical Elopements on Cannon Beach

Once in awhile we get to journey to some of the most magical places in the universe and our trip to the Oregon Coast was beyond our wildest dreams. We got to hang with not one, but two insanely beautiful couples and lets just say it was next-freaking-level.

For these two styled elopements, we traveled to Cannon Beach, aka heaven, for an absolutely dazzling day created by our sweet friend Taylor of Traveling Weddings with Taylor. That misty coastline made for easily one of the most sublime backdrops we’ve ever beheld. Our couples, TJ + Maegan and Anthony + Bailey, were so captivating, we’re pretty sure every single photo of them was perfection. On top of having these outstandingly gorgeous lovers, dress queen Hannah Tikkanen created two immaculate gowns that we’re still 1000% smitten with and we’ll probably never get over them. From running on the beach, to dancing in the ocean, to sharing kisses under the Pacific Northwest sky, all of the love we witnessed was truly unforgettable.

And if all of that astonishing beauty wasn’t enough, the most remarkable team of Oregon vendors brought some impeccable elopement dreams to life. From Noble Florals’ heavenly bouquets to Sweet Sentimentality’s delicate invitation suite to Party Place Portland’s exquisite table design, every inch of this day was astonishing.

Cannon Beach, you have our hearts and we’re beyond obsessed with you. We can’t wait to be back at this ethereal place soon, but until then, we’ll be over here daydreaming about this unreal day.
