Cori + Derek’s Reception Day !!

couples

Oct 11

If you don't recognize these two cuties, they are the couple who flew me out to Oregon to photograph their engagement session in May, which turned into them eloping instead!

Cori and Derek, as well as their friends and family, are constantly reflecting on how they are the perfect opposites to balance one another. They calm each others' storms, and support each others' dreams, and all the in between. Their reception day included lots and lots and lots of rain (lol) but the clouds parted perfectly timed for photos all afternoon. We cruised around on their party bus with their wedding party, had a hoot with wedding party photos, then headed back to Jasper Winery in Des Moines for their tent reception for the rest of the night! There was flippy cup, sweet and hilarious toasts, running in the rain in the vineyard, first dances, and sparklers of course.

I'll be dreaming about this color scheme and those florals for forever!!!
