Jessica and Cole, September 19th 2009

What a perfect day this was! Jessica and Cole’s September 19th wedding at Lakeside Gardens couldn’t have been better. The weather had been somewhat unpredictable all day long, in true Oregon fashion. However, the dark clouds and rain showers cleared out just in time for their sunset ceremony. I’m also told that Jessica and Cole’s Alma Mater, the University of Oregon, won their football game that day. Talk about good omens:) And the best thing that happened that day, Jessica and Cole both married their best friend. Congratulations, Jessica and Cole! We wish you a long and happy future together.

This beautiful Japanese maple is Jessica and Cole’s ‘Unity Tree’ that they watered during their ceremony. I thought it was a sweet alternative to a unity candle!

    I, too, love the idea of watering the Japanese maple tree… very original (and last much longer than the candle). :) Jessica and Cole are a beautiful couple and I raise my glass to their everlasting love.

    p.s. Lauren, I’ve gone from “stummbling” upon your blog to becoming a “stalker” of your blog. You and your team do amazing work. It is a true inspiration.

    What an impressive selections of pictures ! Just like being there. Needless to say I would have loved to have made it. Jessie certainly made a beautiful bride – groom’s pretty good too. Best wished from all the Browns

  4. Jennifer Smith says:

    Just wanted to say, it was great having you there, and you did a phenomenal job! And thanks for making at least one of the toast photos black and white…darn those tears! :)
