After many talks over the phone, we assured them if we take time to brainstorm ideas together we might be able to redesign their wedding into something great. By planning a...

Originally Val and Paul were going to cancel everything and put things on an unknown hold. They were not interested in postponing and planning another wedding for next year. So difficult! But, the idea of an Alderbrook...

Timberline Lodge Wedding – Taylor & Jackson
Born in two different countries on two different continents, 9,000 miles apart, from Rwanda to Oregon, Taylor and Jackson found each other. Finding a needle in a haystack IS possible. A special alchemy of friendship in the most unusual combinations united these two. Only something outside of logic could write a story like this. Who would know that in 2009 in Northern Rwanda, at a school Jackson wasn't initially assigned to, he would find his best friends who would help shape the rest of his...
