Wedding at Corvallis Central Park

Wow.

Kris and Hannah's wedding was such a treat for us to be a part of!! They are an amazing couple who are just relaxed and fun to be around, and I can't remember seeing anybody so filled with sheer happiness at getting married than these two. And the 17 people in their bridal party couldn't agree more! Their wedding was bubbling over with excitement and joy. The photographs practically take themselves at that point...

Kris was all smiles:


Here they are seeing each other for the first time:



And then joined by their friends. Central park worked out to be a fantastic wedding location, with lots of nice lighting for portraits even during a sunny afternoon!


They loosened up pretty quickly, and made for some great photos. Kris's brother Tim was the best man, and it's easy to see they are great friends.




Those of you who live in Corvallis may recognize this cool metal truck on the playground. We thought it would make a fun prop for a photo...


... but ended up getting more than we bargained for! (Did we mention how fun these people are?)


On to some details of the day:



Then it was time for the ceremony.



Here is the first kiss. And when I say "first kiss", I mean, ever. They'd saved their first kiss for the wedding, which made it a pretty special part of the ceremony!


Hm. Judging by Kris's reaction, I bet they'll be doing more of that...



... Yep!


And here's the reaction from the peanut gallery:


We had some time for portraits with the two of them at that point. Oftentimes we'll suggest to our couples that they spend a few minutes on photography later in the evening as the sun is setting, because the lighting at that time of day is just so great to work with. We're very glad that these two took our advice!







Then it was back to the wedding for some great storytelling in the toasts:



And a very lovely first dance.


What a great event and celebration. Blessings on you both, and congratulations again!
