It was supposed to be sunny and warm

But apparently mother nature didn't pay much attention to the forecasters opinion, and our wedding at the beach with Kylee and Sean was a windy, cold, foggy misty affair.

But that didn't stop everyone from having a great time. The wedding was held on a bluff overlooking a rather stormy ocean, and the bridesmaids sleeveless dresses made for some great goosebumps.
After every few shots, I had to stop and remove the mist and salt residue from the lenses, and occasionally wipe off the entire camera to prevent it from being wet and sticky.

The couple still wanted most of the photographs outdoors, since that's why they selected the Adobe Resort in Yachats in the first place. They were real troopers, and didn't complain about the weather at all. In fact, I think their very presence actually warmed it up some.

We even did all the family photographs outside, platooning people out just in time for needing them in a photograph, and then sending them back in to stay warm.


The weather made for some wonderful photographic opportunities. Dark and stormy and moody, and strangely romantic at the same time.

The evening finished with a rollicking reception held inside, but still with a great view out over the stormy ocean.

Thanks Kylee and Sean - next time we'll bring warmer jackets!
