A few months ago, I traveled down to Salem’s Willamette University to assist Stephanie Kaloi Photography with Jackie and Alex’s wedding!  I’m thrilled to be able to share a few of those images with you today!

Jackie and Alex have a sweet how-we-met story that involves music, math equations, and home-baked cookies.  So OF COURSE their wedding day was equally as adorable.  Jackie and Alex, with their friends and family, put so much love and work into each detail of this wedding–from the vows they SANG to each other, to the math equation cookie favors–this wedding was undeniably THEIRS.  

After the ceremony at Willamette University’s Cone Chapel, everyone headed over to the family’s property in West Salem for a tea party in the garden!  The tables were filled with collected vintage china and vases overflowing with pastel ranunculus and pink peonies.  Each table had macarons and finger sandwiches, AND there was a vintage root beer cart!  AHH!!!  I could have photographed the details for DAYS.

Jackie and Alex, thank you so much for letting me share your day with you!
