Yukie and Ryan: Wedding


There is nothing more rewarding than receiving grandma's blessing. Ryan's grandmother, Phyllis, is the family photographer. There were few moments in the day she was without a camera. There were even fewer times she wasn't complimenting, encouraging and building up everyone around her... including me. As a photographer, you spend the whole day with the bride and groom. It is always wonderful to feel like part of the family. I know that Ryan's family have already made Yukie feel right at home.

Yukie and Ryan met and fell in love at Portland Bible College. Both growing up in Japan, they share a lot in common. Before heading back home, Yukie and Ryan were married at City Bible Church, Portland, Oregon.

A few getting ready details...





The shoes


The first look





Several of Ryan and Yukie's friends and family flew in all the way from Japan. So we decided to have a little fun...



And of course a few of the happy couple...


And she sure was happy:)


My favorite image of the day


Yukie's mother taking it all in.




Yukie is so creative - she made these beautiful origami boxes herself and filled them with hershey kisses for each guest.

The rings


The final blessings and best wishes for the newly weds



Thank you Yukie and Ryan for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful wedding. It was truly a blessing.
