And the Day was Perfect,

We have photographed many weddings. Some weddings seem like everything that could cause a complication, does. The flowers are wrong. The dress doesn't fit right. Important guests don't show, OR they do show but :thirty minutes late OR thirty more guests that did not RSVP arrive at the last moment. The music might be wrong OR a beginning / teen-DJ-who-lives-next-door plays techno rap all night to a crowd more suited to Sinatra, Crosby and Martin, The cake collapsed, It rained and there was no place for the guests to seek cover. The Best Man / Maid of Honor / member of the bridal party was so drunk that they gave the toast-to-remember of all time, We have seen and photographed it all. So it was wonderfully refreshing last Saturday to shoot a wedding where everything was 'picture perfect', well coordinated, beautiful, felt spontaneous and flowed as smooth as silk.

Jacqueline and Skip were married on Saturday October17th on at an exquisite private home overlooking CoosBay (the actual bay). We had marvelous weather; blue skies with fluffy clouds. Everything was perfect. With the help of many marvelous people, two in particular, we created some art and had a beautiful shoot.

What a wonderful day.

A big THANK YOU to Liz and Mike Kinzie for opening up their beautiful home for Jacqueliine and Skip's celebration. Liz, you run a flawless event. Everything looked and felt perfect and the flow of events was very natural and smooth.

The ceremony was officiated by Nate Lewis. In addition to being a great officiant, he and his wife own an operate Wild Oats Studios, in Coquille. Wild Oats is a vintage clothiing/jewelry resource with hundreds if not thousands of one-of-a-kind items. It's like, well, . . . stepping through the looking glass, . . .

Jacqueline and Skip's DJ, Your Way Sound and Lights , was truely world class. He was an MC without equal. Jeff kept the party moving, played a great combination of music and was great to work with. Kudo's to Jeff!

It was a marvelous party and a wonderful celebration, Thanks for the great time!
