Holly and Brandon just got married at the incredible Cedarhurst Mansion in Cottage Grove. The rain challenged us to get creative indoors. Thankfully, it cleared up and we were treated to a perfect evening.

Holly’s first look at her beautiful dress.



Is this ballroom beautiful or what? More pictures in here coming up…



Holly and Brandon get some time to themselves to let it all sink in.


She looks so regal.


I like to try some old fashioned formal portraits once in a while. This mansion definitely called for an image like this.



Holly’s sister painted this sign for them. They aren’t about to let a little rain get in the way of taking pictures!


The Cedarhurst Mansion has a beautiful little garden off the back. I’m glad the rain let up enough to shoot here.


A spontaneous dip!


I can’t quite put my finger on why, but this is my favorite image from the day. It feels so real and unguarded.



Fun. Again, spontaneous. You can’t fake these expressions.


A charming toast by Holly’s brother.


What a pretty place for a dance. I’m very happy with these dancing pictures. My light was hitting them just right.



A walk around the grounds at dusk. A very romantic moment with the fog rolling in.


Thank you, Holly and Brandon. It was an honor to photograph your wedding.
