Eugene Wedding Photography - Heidi + Dustin at the Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm

Heidi and Dustin's beautiful summer wedding was on a bright and hot day at the end of June, but it was such a delight to photograph! Partly because of how lovely and easy-going the couple and their friends and family were, and partly because there were so many fun little stories going on throughout the day. One flower girl kept us in suspense about whether she would find the aisle until the last possible second, and the other had her very own water-gun reign of terror at the reception (water guns on a hot wedding day: highly recommended). And the Mother of the Bride, with help from the Mother of the Groom, spent the morning putting together the lovely flower arrangements for the aisle and the dinner tables. And the father of the bride brewed some special batches of beer just for the occasion, customized with photos of the bride and groom with their dogs. All in all, it was a wedding photojournalist's paradise.

Many thanks to Ally, my lovely second shooter, and to the happy couple for having us!
