A Sweet Spring Celebration in Stayton, Oregon


Charlotte and Roger are such a fun couple! This day was so special for them and their families.

These two first met while they were living and teaching in South Korea. Roger is from Toronto, Canada and Charlotte lives here, in Oregon. So when it was time to come back, they had to make a long distance relationship work. This year, Roger was able to move to Oregon while Charlotte finishes her OT degree.


They planned a simple and sweet micro wedding at the Jordan Covered Bridge in Stayton. Close family flew in from Canada and drove in from Idaho. It was a wonderful day for a family reunion! The sun was shining, it wasn't too hot and trees were starting to bloom.


The ceremony was was beautiful and Charlotte was stunning in her grandmother's vintage wedding dress. Since this was a micro wedding, we had ample time for family portraits and couples portraits before everyone left for dinner in Salem.


This was such a nice afternoon and this couple and wedding will stick with me for awhile!
