When we heard the pandemic had drastically altered Leah & Jonathan's wedding plans, we were super sad to also realize the live stream of the intimate ceremony they intended to share with family and friends did not function well -- only their parents were in attendance. With several openings related to COVID-related reschedules of our own, we offered to capture there emotion-driven, faith inspired, personalized vows at the Oregon Coast. The sunset was absolutely amazing, literally perfect in every way, and the natural chemistry between these two is undeniable. They will have our hearts forever.
