A while back I wrote a little blog about these two. I wrote how down-to-earth and chill they are. I wrote how creative and good to each other they are. I wrote about my infatuation with their little dog, Gia! But, what I didn’t write about is their love for each other. Because, you see, I hadn’t fully seen it yet. I hadn’t fully realized that all these things that they are individually, also apply to the way they love each other. Their love is down-to-earth, chill, creative and it is good. It is BIG! As big as Jill’s beautiful, infectious and always-ready laugh! As big as Shay’s genuine, kind and gentle heart. And it was everywhere on their wedding day at the super-unique wedding venue, the Sunshine Mill in The Dalles, Oregon! And when I saw it full-blown like this, I was awe-struck! Jill and Shay, I am in awe of YOU! Thank you for sharing this kind of love with all of your friends and family the way you do! It was a beautiful thing to behold. Congratulations, many times over!

Absolutely beautiful photos! Brought me right back to the moment. Love them!
What stunning photos! We (the band) had a blast playing Jill & Shay’s wedding; between their clever decorating, the fascinating nature of the old mill itself, and all of those photogenic folks, there was plenty to keep a photographer hopping. Great work! You really captured the feel of the day.
These pictures are absolutely STUNNING!!! Jill reminds me of “old school glamour Hollywood” like a Katherine Hepburn or Ava Gardner. I love the location shots-the flowers-everything…beautiful!!!!!
