Natalie and Mike, August 13th 2010

I have to admit, I was a little warm this wedding day. Walking to the guys room I did work up a little sweat but as soon as I stepped into the guys room I knew I had nothing to complain about. Mike and two other groomsmen had military backgrounds and were in full dress. I stood there in amazement as they put on what seemed like layer after layer of clothing. They meticulously buckled things and clipped things etc, etc. I couldn’t imagine wearing all that stuff with it being so hot. Taking in the conversation in the room I knew that this group of guys knew how to have a good time. Moving to the girls room I noticed that Natalie’s dress was beautiful. Gina, Natalie’s mom was more than willing to help and was so nice. There were plenty of fan holders trying to keep the bride cool. The great thing about Edgefield is that there are great spaces close by when time is an issue. Not only were some of the guys in uniform, so was Mike’s dad who wore his dress police uniform. The ceremony was heartfelt and tears and laughter was a common occurrence. We definitely had some fun after the ceremony during the bridal party formals. I got to sit with the guys during dinner and it was pretty awesome. The photography fun, for me, came when I got a chance to take the couple out and do some night shots. It was so much fun to shoot this wedding and to be around the guests.

May 15th Wedding

I had a wonderful day Sunday at Edgefield McMenamins celebrating the marriage of this warm and loving couple! The weather was not looking so favorable for an outdoor ceremony but by the time 4:30pm came around, we were fortunate to see the sun peaking through the clouds! Becky and Ryan had a small intimate ceremony followed by a reception with all their closest friends and family. Thanks again guys for such a memorable day!

Laurel and I had our first date at Edgefield and since have spent a lot of time hanging out on the property and learning
the many exciting shooting options this facility provides!

Powers Studios is one of the only studios recommended in all McMenamins properties and Edgefield is certainly one of our
favorites! We have documented dozens of weddings at this venue and can share many many samples with you.
