Out of all the Oregon Wedding Venues I have photographed at, I have never had a wedding on a golf course! It was so unique and so much fun! Brandon was actually one of my husband’s co-workers when we lived in Oregon so we were so excited when he told us he was engaged and would be joining the married club! haha! Daniela & Brandon are so perfect together and it definitely showed throughout their Outdoor Oregon Wedding at Centennial Golf Club in Medford Oregon!
During the ceremony, the officiant shared a little bit of background into Daniela & Brandon’s story. Their first date was on February 14th, 2020 and they decided that even though covid was shutting everything down, they still wanted to see where this was going. So, they spent a lot of time together and went exploring. The officiant shared a story about a camping trip they took where the weather was much colder than anticipated. It even snowed! After that trip, Daniela and Brandon decided that they could probably get through anything and made the decision to stick by each other. I loved hearing more of their story during their ceremony along with seeing all the friends and family who came to support them!
Family is SO important to both Daniela & Brandon and that was made apparent throughout the whole wedding! Starting with a first look with Daniela’s dad and all the photo combinations with family! Not to mention the multiple times that Daniela & Brandon thanked their family for helping them through hard times, getting them to this point in their lives and helping with all the details for the wedding! It was truly heart-warming to see how their family has impacted their lives and how much they wanted to share this special day with them!
Daniela & Brandon’s Outdoor Oregon Wedding was filled with sweet and funny moments. Daniela read her vows first during the ceremony and when it was Brandon’s turn, he looked at the guests and said something about wishing he could have gone first! haha! He was a little choked up and it took him a bit to get through his vows. After he was finished, Daniela offered him a tissue, and he held up his own saying he already had one. After exchanging their rings, they shared their first kiss as husband and wife!
Right after the ceremony, we made group and family photos a priority before I stole Daniela & Brandon for a couple photos of just them! We even got to ride around the golf course in golf carts to find some great locations for photos! As we were by the pond taking photos, we heard someone yell ‘FOUR’ and of course it didn’t register with me because I’m not a golfer! haha! But Daniela & Brandon saw a golf ball coming towards us and moved out of the way! The ball landed RIGHT in between Daniela & Brandon on the ground and luckily, none of us were hit! haha!
I am so grateful I had the opportunity to be Daniela & Brandon’s Oregon Wedding Photographer for their Outdoor Oregon Wedding! Congrats you two!!!
