Lake Wallowa and Enterprise, Oregon

We recently traveled to Enterprise, Oregon, to attend the Palmer family reunion (Travis’ mother’s side). It is close to the town of Joseph (named after Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe) and beautiful Lake Wallowa in the mountains of northeastern Oregon. We enjoyed relaxing with family and taking some pictures of small-town America and the pristine beauty of the area.

Adrian and Melissa : Orting, Washington

July 17th, 2009 turned out to be a beautiful day to tie the knot. We were thrilled to be asked to capture their most special day at The Orting Manor, a gorgeous Victorian-style venue in downtown Orting. Travis’ brother, Matt Shumate, came out from Spokane to help cover the wedding.

It was a hot day in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, but both both Adrian and Melissa remained remarkably relaxed and cool. I cried through the entire ceremony — wedding’s just have that effect on me! The reception was also sweet. Travis and I were able to dance to “Passing Afternoon” by Iron and Wine — the same song we danced to on our own wedding day.
