Amy and James' Wedding | Chehalis Wedding Photography

(Warning, this is an extremely long post, haha) I just can’t say enough good things about this couple! In EVERY photo, you could see how totally and completely in love they were.

Amy’s beautiful dres

Her sister helped her get ready- it was just them two for awhil

Not exactly a short walk… hah

Their first look was a little different- James faced her so that he could see her as she walked down the hill toward him. Seeing her for the first time̷

We headed down to the river for a shot. And yes, that meant walking through REALLY tall gras

It was soo hot already by this point! So we took some in the shad

And got a few shots in front of the bar

Almost forgot something Jame

I couldn’t get enough of this barn… obviousl

And I haven’t even mentioned the HUGE field of yellow dandelions ye

(I’ve known two of the people in these pictures since 1st or 2nd grade! Crazy huh? I’ve also known another two since middle school, and Amy and James since high school! It’s so much fun shooting a wedding party that you KNOW!)
