Ali and Tyler didn’t want their wedding day to be a “wedding day.” They wanted to prioritize their friends and family, the food, the drinks, the laughs, and the moments of quiet. They wanted their wedding day to simply be a day with the people they love. And isn’t that what life’s all about?

We spent minimal time on portraits and instead focused on enjoying life in the moment. Ali and Tyler chose to focus on a bigger picture, rather than the little details that become all encompassing when planning a wedding.

McMenamins Grand Lodge housed them and all of their guests so that the celebration could span the weekend, and the space offered unique rooms, a spa, live music, and of course, the famous tots and beer that are a staple at all McMenamins locations. Guests also explored nearby wineries and Hagg Lake.

Thank you so much, Ali and Tyler, for allowing me join your family for a day and capture these special memories. This day was seriously so good.
