Painted Hills Destination Bridal by Masumi Taguchi

Before moving out east I went out to shoot Ai who turned her wedding dress into a tie dye work of art. The colors worked beautifully with the mountains of Painted Hills, Oregon. The morning of that shoot was beautiful. Nice and warm, the sun a little harsh but we made it work in our favor. The mountains were truly dreamy. Nothing like traveling to shoot!

Oregon Wedding by Masumi Taguchi

Sweet Oregon wedding for miss Charity and her sweet partner.

Weddings make me sappy. Sometimes they make my eyes water, especially when the couple is at the altar. The food is great to eat, and the cake always an extra reason to smile.

But it’s a nice kind of sappy, a nice kind of waterworks. It’s beautiful to me, two individuals making a promise of hope, commitment, friendship, understanding, endurance, growth together.
