Taylor and Colby have been together for ten years, and this spring they decided to make it official and become HUSBAND AND WIFE!!  Colby proposed in Pacific City (remember their epic beach engagement session there?), and they held their wedding yesterday at the beautiful Carlton Hills Vineyard.
Let’s talk daddy-daughter first looks!  Literally MY FAVORITE!!  Taylor’s dad had not seen the dress yet and he was shocked as he rounded the corner of the porch to see her as a BRIDE!  The reactions in this moment are always worth it!
Something special they did during their ceremony was they had each set of parents give a short reading.  It was such a meaningful moment!  I love how family-centered their ceremony was.
Then we did portrait time–and WHERE TO BEGIN??  The beautiful vineyard on a hill?  The patio overlooking the valley where both Taylor and Colby went to high school?  The oak tree lined gravel road?  So many beautiful choices!!
The reception!  These two took dance lessons for months to prepare for their wedding!
