Emily and Bryce touching foreheads on a wooden bridge on their wedding day in Oregon

A real wedding · Applegate Christian Fellowship · Jacksonville, Oregon

Emily & Bryce

A stack of books, a prayer, and one orange getaway car.

"Looking through the photos felt like getting to experience the entire day all over again, except this time we got to see so many of the moments we missed while we were actually living them."
Emily, the bride

Emily and Bryce's day was FULL of people who love them. Her girls in their pj's, his guys praying over him, vows under the trees, and a reception under the oaks that turned into the best dance party. Then they drove off in a vintage orange car. I mean, come on!
