Oneonta Gorge in Oregon is one of the most interesting places I have ever visited. David Schmaus a fellow creative (davidschumas.com) found this wonderful couple to hike back along the Oneonta Gorge for this spectacular shoot. There is about a 1/2 mile hike along a 20 foot wide chasm to a hidden waterfall. Most of the walk is in calf high water but in some areas waist high. At the entrance to the gorge there are many fallen trees that have made a giant wall that must first be scaled. It seemed 20 ft high and 60 ft long. Lots of unsafe climbing on wet logs and Tiffany did it in a wedding dress!!
Thanks to Brides for Cause (http://bridesforacause.com) for the lace dress at the beginning of our shoot and Simply Bridal (www.SimplyBridal.com) for our second dress in the water.
I met up with Stephanie & Dallas near the Bridge of the Gods in Oregon for a mini session. The light came out for just a few minutes before the rain and it was epic! Enjoy!
Brides For A Cause in Portland, OR lent us some beautiful dresses and Floral V Designs in Bellbrook, OH donated a flower crown. I planned this shoot with help from David Schmaus at www.davidschmaus.com.
Who doesn’t ooh and aah when they spot a furry friend walking down the aisle with tail wagging and looking their wedding best? Dana and Cathy certainly included their dogs as a huge part of their special day. They had their niece and nephew walk two dogs down the aisle and then the Brides walked two more dogs down the aisle. I have never seen a church that was so welcoming of different lifestyles- including bringing dogs into their ceremony. Better yet, the couple owns their own dog grooming business in Dayton and also own show dogs. This was truly a dog lovers wedding!
The event was so much fun, even with good luck rain and having another fur baby at home ready to give birth. But that didn’t stop Cathy and Dana. They had a great time talking to family and friends and dancing the night away on the dance floor.
