Pronghorn Summer Wedding | Bend, Oregon | Danny + Kelsey

Getting to capture the day of Danny and Kelsey was so special. Their Pronghorn Summer wedding was a magical day. They actually met at a wedding where they were both in the wedding party. Living in different states was difficult, but they made it work. After meeting up after the wedding for a friend’s birthday they decided on having their first date together. This meant Kelsey had to fly to Portland from California. With their first big date coming up Kelsey said “I booked a flight and a few months went by before our first real full weekend date arrived. It was fairly nerve racking knowing if we didn’t actually get along, I was still stuck there for the whole weekend, but we had a great time and that was the start of our almost 2.5 year long distance relationship.”

With so many travels together under their belt (Hawaii, Positano, Japan and Italy) they wanted a somewhat local but destination wedding. They arrived at a wedding in Bend, Oregon.

“…You (Ashley) really made it so much more comfortable and relaxed. We truly appreciated and fed off your energy throughout the experience… we love our photos! Thank you”

Fascinated by every glittering detail — from the bride’s smile to the heirloom necklace her grandmother let her borrow — I showcase every facet of a wedding day so you can treasure it for decades. 

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.  

My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the beaches of sunny California to the mountains in Oregon. But regardless of where I travel, the Willamette Valley and deep forest of my own slice of heaven will always be my home.
