Salem, Oregon Romantic Backyard Wedding

William and Bri

Last year I had the honor of documenting my brother’s wedding in Salem, Oregon. It was May, and daisies had just bloomed in the fields. There were lazy bees with eyes still half closed from winter, and everything still felt soft with the spring breeze.

Of the voices of the universe everyone else forgets
I will hold your voice in a little box
And when you come upon me I won’t look back at you
You will feel a hand upon your heart while I place your voice back
Into the heart from where it came from
And I will not cry also
Although you will expect me to
I was wiser too than you had expected
For I knew all along you were mine
