Sam & Elizabeth // An Oregon Mountain Vow Renewal

by Rebekah · Leave a Comment

“I vow to stand by you and support you as you lead our family for the rest of our lives.
I vow to forgive just as we are forgiven by our Savior.
I will always point to you as the example for our sons to follow.
I promise to continue kissing, laughing with, working with, and trusting you as long as I live as God as my witness.
I am fully devoted to you, honey.”

The dark clouds overhead threatened snow, but Sam & Liz didn’t seem to notice as they read their newly written vows to each other. These two have been married for almost four years, and have two little boys together. But one of the things that they regret from their wedding day is that they didn’t write personal vows.

So earlier this month, I partnered with several other vendors to put together an epic vow renewal in the wintry rolling hills and mountains of Oregon. From the moment Sam first saw Liz during the first look, to the moment when they read their vows to each other for the first time against the backdrop of moody, blue mountains, to every tender glance and loving touch, this vow renewal had me feeling alllll the feels.

A huge thank you goes out to the creative team who made this vision come to life:

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skie “The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.”
Psalm 19:1-4a

Happy Earth Day, everyone! 🌎💙
Brandon & Madelyn knew each other for 5 months bef Brandon & Madelyn knew each other for 5 months before they started dating, but knew within weeks of knowing each other that they would be together forever. 

The day he proposed, Brandon took Madelyn on a picnic to her favorite place in the world. He had made a scrap book of all their adventures and travels, and at the end there was a picture of him holding a sign that said “will you marry me?” Madelyn said "yes!" so fast that it caught Brandon off guard!

So for their engagement session, of course we had to go back to where Brandon had proposed. I LOVE incorporating special locations like this into my couple's engagement sessions!

If you're getting married this summer (or even next summer!) and are interested in booking with me, don't wait to reach out!

Also, hi!! I'm Rebekah. 👩🏻‍🌾

I'm an introverted extrovert, which means I can be as sleepy as a newborn kitten or as rambunctious as my Golden Retriever. I take my cue from YOU and match my personality to fit whatever the situation calls for – you’ll never be forced into a mood you aren’t in and none of your poses will feel awkward. Pinky promise. 🐶😻

If you're ready to become friends (oh, and get insanely beautiful photos to boot) then tap that link in my profile and fill out my contact form. 

I can't wait to meet you! 🖤
Just a quick reminder...I travel!!⁣ Whether it' Just a quick reminder...I travel!!⁣

Whether it's to the other side of our beautiful state, or to the other side of the country...or even out of the country, I'm down to pack my bags and hit the road!⁣

Even if I haven't been to an area yet, I'll still help you scout locations and find one that perfectly fits you and your boo.⁣

So what're you waiting for? 

Sliiiide on into my DMs and let's plan something!

(P.S. just booked session number 2 with this amazing couple...and this time we’re heading all the way to the Blue Ridge Mountains!! Cannot wait to create some freaking MAGIC together!!!!)
While I definitely recommend that men "suit up!" ( While I definitely recommend that men "suit up!" (name that show) for their engagement session, I also live in the grass seed capital of the world, so farmers, ranchers, loggers, and just good ole small town boys are more common than Barney Stinsons. (THANK GOODNESS.)

But there are still a few things that men can do to make sure they look *their* best, right alongside their gorgeous lady who probably spent at least a few hours getting ready!

- Opt for dark wash jeans with a nice belt and shoes. (Yes, those shoes can be cowboy boots or romeos, I just don't want to see any crazy colored tennis shoes!)

- Make sure your jeans are CLEAN. 

- Empty out all your pockets before the session! Stick your phone, keys, wallet, knife, etc., in your lady's purse for safe keeping till the end of the session.

- Spruce up your top half with a solid colored dress shirt that coordinates with your lady's outfit.

BONUS TIP: Realize that these photos are SO important to your lady, so bring your A-game to the session and just enjoy the time that you get to spend loving on her!

Ladies, make sure to save this post and send it to your man when it comes time for your couples, engagement, or anniversary session!
Happy Monday!! ☕️ I’ve got a list a mile lo Happy Monday!! ☕️

I’ve got a list a mile long over here, but I really just want to chuck it and go lay in the sunshine and read a book. 😎

Do you have any plans to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather this week?? I’ve got a few engagement sessions happening, and also going to try to slip in some updated headshots with my girl @whistlingdixiephoto 📷 

It’s gonna be a good week, y’all! ☀️
I’m just going to say it… there are things abo I’m just going to say it… there are things about your wedding that will stress you out but your photographer SHOULD NOT be one of them which is why I’m really passionate about providing a seamless experience from the time my couples book with me until the moment they receive their galleries.
