Romina and Mark

Keri: How did you meet?

Romina: I grew up in California and Mark grew up in Virginia but we met by complete fate in Western Massachusetts in 2003. I was working at a retreat center in the woods, and he was hired in the Autumn to help with some construction and land projects.

Keri: When did you know that he was the one for you?

Romina: It took a whole 8 days before we were together, and by New Years we were already discussing Marriage

Keri: How did you guys end up in Oregon?

Romina: We left Massachusetts and backpacked through Belize and Guatemala for 3 months-- if that doesn't make or break a lover ship I don't know what does! When we returned to the states we took a road trip west, not sure where we would land, and ended up in Beautiful Oregon.

Keri: What are some things you like to do together?

Romina: We love the pacific northwest, we love to live in the woods, and have always sought out a home together in remote areas outside the "city."

Keri: Tell me something unique about your relationship.

Romina: He is 6 ft 1

I am 5 ft 1

but we see eye to eye.

Keri: You are both incredibly talented. Tell me about yourselves.

Romina: I'm a dancer and he's an artist of many genres: sculpture, woodwork, landscaping & painting.

Keri: You both seem very happy and content with life!

Romina: We love our life together, and especially the freedom to take off on adventures as often as possible We love our 2 "kids" Tea the cat and Ito the dog.

Keri: I know that this location is special to you. Tell me why you love it so much.

Romina: If given the choice of an outing we always seek water: rivers, waterfalls, lakes, or the ocean.

Keri: I'm looking forward to your wedding a lot. You have such special details that you have been working on! Are you excited for the day to come?

Romina: Our wedding this August is a celebration with our family and friends, but in truth we feel we've been married for as long as we've known each other--it was simply so clear from that very beginning!

Sarah and Ryan

We first met Sarah and Ryan two years ago when we photographed Sarah's cousin's wedding. (Hi Kristy and Mike!!!) What an amazing group of people! We feel so honored to have been asked to photograph another wedding for the family! Sarah and Ryan are full of energy, laughter, silliness, love and kindness. We are so excited for their wedding! It's only a week away now!

Keri: How did you guys meet?

S&R: We went to school together from elementary through high school, although never started talking until we were both out of high school. We ran into each other at our high school when we were helping out our old soccer teams and things went from there ...

Keri: Sarah, tell me something that Ryan does to show you he loves you.

Sarah: I am one of the most easily amused people you will ever meet in your life which works out to his benefit ;) every once in a while he will just take the long way home, I LOVE to stare out the window and just a little detour can make my day!

Keri: What is your favorite thing to do together?

S&R: Camping, hiking, just being outdoors, preferably somewhere by water where we can fish and somewhere that we don't have cell service so we can enjoy peace and quiet!

Keri: What are you most looking forward to in marriage?

S&R: KIDS!! We are both ecstatic about the day we finally have kids!

Keri: I know you have several pets. Tell me about them...

Sarah: We have 5 animals already! 2 Weenie dogs... Phin who is daddy's little man, and timid little Lily. 2 Cats, Niya..the door opening & fence hopping genius in the family, Grace, the bottle fed mamma's boy, and 1 Fish, Blaze....the product of Ryan being bored while I shopped at a craft store

Keri: Tell me something that is fun and unique about your relationship.

S&R: We make fun of each other constantly, bicker like we have been married for years, we hug about a thousand times a day, and love writing notes to each other on the bathroom mirror.

Here is a little sneak peek of a series we did for their Thank You cards. You guys are so cute!!

Keri: How did you guys meet?

V&N: We met at our annual church camp in July of 2008, but it wasn’t until December 28th that we actually got together.

Vanessa: Nate was living in Grants Pass at the time and was invited up to my house for the weekend by a friend who was working with my dad at the time. We saw each other and both new instantly that we were going to be together.

Nate: I knew that Vanessa was going to be my wife within a week of us being together.

Keri: What do you like to do for fun?

V&N: We love to go hiking whenever we can, or spend the day at the beach. We are both kind of home bodies so we love to sit down and relax and watch a good movie.

Keri: What are your goals for the future?

V&N: We really hope to be able to own our own home and to be able to grow our own garden. We would really love to have a place that we can say is really our own.

Keri: Your wedding is going to be here before we know it!

V&N: We are both very excited for our wedding!! We cant wait to finally start our lives together!

Robert & Kelley Engagement

Andrea and Eric

Keri: How did you guys meet?
-
Eric: We went to the same school since 7th grade and never really knew each other or even had mutual friends. Then, right before sophomore year, we sat near each other in drivers ed and started talking.
Andrea: I had a notebook and Eric and I wrote notes to each other back and forth in it. I still have it. He finally asked me out over MSN October 23rd 2003.

Keri: What are your favorite things to do together?
-
Andrea: We love to go on drives together. Sometimes we just take the long way home and hang out in the car. For our honeymoon we are taking a road trip and stopping in a few hotels along the way then ending up in San Francisco for a couple of days and then driving back up. Oh, and we love the beach! He proposed to me on the coast and that's where we are staying the first night of our honeymoon. We take the dogs and run away to the coast any time we can.

Keri: Tell me something unique or fun about your relationship...
-
Eric: We like the same things and we are both animal lovers. We go up to Saving Grace a lot and walk the dogs or donate. On the weekends we always make it a point to go to second hand stores--because one person's junk is another person's treasure.
-

-
Keri: What makes your relationship special?
-
Andrea: We sort of balance each other out because he is very laid back and modest and I am a little (OK, maybe a lot) more outspoken and high-strung.
-

-
Keri: It sounds like your dogs are a big part of your life. Tell me about them!
-
Andrea: Our dogs, Roxy and Buddie, and our cat "Meow", are like our kids, we even refer to each other as Mom and Dad to them. We are a little obsessed. But they are definitely our starter kids.
-

-
Keri: Do you guys dream about anything in your future?
-
Andrea: If we won the lottery, the first thing we would do is buy a big piece of land, put a house on one end and open up an animal rescue on the other and spoil every animal that came in.
-

-
Keri: You guys are so comfortable and happy with each other! It's so obvious--even just spending an hour with you!
-
Andrea: One thing about us is that we always know exactly how to make each other laugh. We are so comfortable together and have the same sense of humor, even in the middle of a fight we can start laughing at and with each other.
