Albany, Oregon Wedding Photos

We've been looking forward to finishing up the photos from Amy and Zeno's wedding and sharing them with you! This was truly one of the most amazing wedding's we've had the privilege to be a part of. They are an incredibly dynamic and creative couple, and every nuance and detail of the day was very unique and special!

A few photos as Amy finished up getting ready...




Zeno works professionally in the wine industry and was an antique wine seller for years; would that be a cool job or what?! So, a toast with the guys was a fitting way to start the day...


The outfit for this little dude left no questions as to his role in the ceremony:


Amy works as a pastry chef for a chocolatier in Portland, and she made sure there were goodies on hand for guests arriving before the ceremony! It was a warm afternoon, and this turned out to be a great idea. It kept people mingling and relaxing for a little while before the ceremony.


The wedding was held on several acres of Amy's family's property in Albany, which made for a great, intimate feeling. She created a trellis for the ceremony and came up with many visual accents to create a great atmosphere for the wedding, including flower arrangements like this hanging from the trees:


Amy's brother officiated at the ceremony and did a great job. It was filled with a lot of laughter and quite a few tears too...



A few minutes for portraits!



Check out the amazing fairy-tale house that had been built in a corner of the property. We had never seen anything like it... very cool!!


At the entrance to the reception, Amy and Zeno created a guest book table under the shade of a tree, and hung antique photos of their parents', grandparents', and even great-grandparents' wedding ceremonies.



It was about this time when we discovered that we were the only vendors hired to participate in the entire wedding - Amy and Zeno had done everything else on their own and with the help of their families, and yet this was one of the most beautifully designed weddings we'd been to!

At the reception area, every detail was immaculate. The table centerpieces and arrangements were similar, but each was unique in a different way...




A huge variety of food was all prepared on-site to create a magnificent feast...



The wine, beer and champagne picked for the affair were a big part of the celebration, and all were top-notch!!





And let's not forget the dessert table...



Oh yes, and the bouquet? Amy made that too.


Amy and Zeno, your wedding was a stunning event, and we are so grateful for being trusted to capture it in photos! Your love for each other and obvious talent shone throughout the entire day, as I'm sure it will continue to for many years to come.
