Intimate Bend, Oregon Wedding

This precious elopement was faced with so many obstacles, but that did not stop these two from having the most beautiful day in the pouring rain, and sharing the sweetest vows you’ve ever heard!

They had scouted out this spot months before the elopement, but when Oregon was facing all of the destruction with fires and COVID, their plans became very uncertain and there were so many unknowns. Well, fast forward to two weeks before the wedding, Maddie and Hayden called me to let me know that the smoke and fires were so bad that there was the potential to have to find a new spot for the ceremony. After so much prayer and trust, they decided to stick with the original plan and have faith that it would all work out because they believed that was the exact spot they were supposed to get married …

AND BOY WERE THEY RIGHT!!!!

The Lord provided the most incredible rain storm to move through, clearing up ALL the smoke in that area and as the ceremony was happening the clouds began to part and the smallest glimmer of sunshine began to shine through the clouds!!! This was the first time they had seen sun in weeks …. HOW INCREDIBLE!

There might have been some moments of doubt, but when I say that this ceremony was just perfect … I absolutely mean it. From the mountains in the distance, the creek rushing around us, the rain pouring and clearing the smoke, to the sun showing its face for the first time in weeks… This day was exactly what it was meant to be and it was an HONOR to be a part of it with this incredible couple!!
