Love Story: Sarah & Tyler

Our Story

"The first time I met Tyler was during my freshman year at Molalla High School. After Tyler graduated, we went our separate ways. Fate was on our side when we both ended up at Oregon State University a few years later. Tyler emailed me unexpectedly and mentioned that we should hang out sometime. As soon as we started hanging out, I knew that Tyler was going to be one of my best friends at OSU. The more time we spent together, I realized that our friendship was turning in to something more. It wasn't until we talked about our feelings for each other that we knew that there was no going back to just being friends. Our friendship that started our relationship became the foundation for the love that we share today. Every day that passes, I fall more in love with my best friend. We are so excited for our wedding and look forward to spending the rest of our lives together as husband and wife!

Click Chicks 1st Annual Summer Lovin' Workshop

On July 1st a group of amazing photographers got together for the 1st annual Summer Lovin' Workshop! I worked with Melanie Whitaker of Melanie Jade Photography to help put on this workshop/photoshoot for the Click Chicks. The Click Chicks are a group of all female photographers that get together monthly to go over lighting, techniques, tips and tricks, industry standards, pricing, upcoming trends, you name it! Members of the Click Chicks have price packages for any budget, so check out their site and I'm sure you'll find a photographer that fits your style!

I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had with helping coordinate and design this photo shoot! There were two different wedding themes, and LOTS of details for the photographers to capture (plus two great lookin' couples)! The pictures shown are only a small portion of the pictures that were taken...I think that there were at least 20 photographers! This photo shoot would not have been possible without the contributions of the following vendors:

Dresses - Angie of The Bridal Gallery

Hair & Makeup - Jennifer of Face Body Beauty

Tuxedos - Jim from the Salem Mr. Formal

Flowers - Denice of Distinctive Designs

Cake - Kalie of The Cake Shoppe

Linens & chairs - Shirley of Crossroads Fine Linens & Party Rentals

Hosting Photographer & Inspiration - Melanie of Melanie Jade Photography

I'd also like to thank the following photographers for giving me some of their photos to use! You rock! And of course, a big thank you to all of the Click Chicks for giving me the opportunity to work with you! I had SO much fun!
