Wedding at Tyee Lodge in Newport on the Oregon Coast

John & Cherie were married just this past Friday afternoon at the beautiful Tyee Lodge on the Oregon coast. They live out of state, but Cherie loves the coast, so - here they are! Or, here they came. This wedding represented not only a joining of two lives, but of two families and was very special and unique. Not only that, but every single family member was gorgeous (and/or handsome)! Check out their pictures!






During the marriage, they had a sand ceremony, in which each of the six family members participated in pouring their small containers of sand together.


J&C desired to have a small intimate ceremony with just a few friends and family. Following the ceremony we took a picture of their "guest list."


After that, we headed down to the beach to get some photos of John, Cherie and the kids!



With photos from such a beautiful environment, we spent some time in post-processing to create artistic interpretations of the scenes. We can often use subtle textures or adjustments to an image to enhance the emotion or bring out a different mood. (We will always provide the bride and groom with the original photo as well, so that they have a choice depending on how they would like to use the images.)

For example, here is one of our original photos:


And after some adjustments to the image:


We particularly liked several of the other photos from their session on the beach processed this way:




We really love doing weddings on the coast. It's so relaxing and beautiful. We're were thankful to be a part of John & Cherie's wedding and we wish them and their new family all the best.

Blessings!
