Janna and Daniel at Timberline Lodge

Janna and Daniel’s wedding was definitely the most fun we’ve ever had shooting at Timberline. We laughed and smiled all day long with this very sweet couple.  There are so many reasons why this was such a great day. To begin with, everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) was warm, sweet and kind. From the completely gorgeous Janna, to kind-hearted Daniel, the lovely sister, every single wedding attendant, two sets of caring family and scads of friends–every single person we encountered was radiating affection and love for the couple.

Next, Janna and Daniel are two really terrific people. They love each other like crazy and are not afraid to show it. During the ceremony, the vows they had written to one another nearly made me cry. And I heard during the toasts that Daniel, at one time, had shipped Janna a box of autumn leaves so that she would feel less homesick for Oregon’s fall. You can tell from the way that Janna looks at Daniel that she’s found just the right man.

And selfishly, we appreciated that Janna and Daniel were totally game to make some amazing photos with us. The weather was crazy: rainy, sunny, windy, cold. When the sun peeked out they were willing to let us take them outside and drag them through the puddles.  Worth every splash, I’d say. Janna’s wide smile and Daniel’s warm demeanor made them a joy to photograph. The image above in the lower left corner is now our favorite photo of the year. Thanks Daniel and Janna! We were so happy to be with you on your wonderful wedding day.
