To cap off our 2024 marriage ceremony season, we ventured out on an extended street journey throughout 5 states for Hillary and Todd’s tremendous enjoyable Bend, Oregon marriage ceremony at Lake Creek Lodge.
Since hitting my purpose of visiting every of the 50 states again in 2016, I’ve since set one other (free) purpose of photographing a marriage in every of the 50 states as nicely. I say “free” as a result of, if I’m being trustworthy, there are a few states that I’d be okay by no means going again to. That stated, this journey to Oregon formally made a baker’s dozen for me, plus Washington, D.C.
Lake Creek Lodge, which is simply outdoors of Sisters, west of Bend, has a laid again, rustic summer season camp vibe, and Hill and Todd took full benefit of the theme. That they had branded mugs and signage sporting their venue’s de facto moniker, “Camp Wannaluvya,” and spent the morning of the marriage taking part in varied summer season camp actions with their friends, together with swimming, fishing, ping pong, tennis and pickleball.
Following a peaceable ceremony subsequent to the fishing pond, the newlyweds, together with all of their friends, recessed to the reception space, escorted by a energetic second line courtesy of Stump Metropolis Soul.
My favourite private contact on the reception was attending to attempt two several types of Boochcraft, a tough kombucha firm owned by the groom. I had by no means been a kombucha fan, however I believe I’m formally offered at this level. 10/10, extremely really useful.
After a night of dancing to the tunes of SCS, we concluded the evening with a number of photographs of the bride and groom below the Milky Manner. The proper ending to a beautiful day.
Hill and Todd, thanks each a lot for having us at your Bend, Oregon marriage ceremony (and for brining me one step nearer to my purpose!) Additionally, big because of our associates, Jos and Tree, for making this connection.
