There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.
– 1 John 4:18-19
Meet Desiree and Jereme. This amazing couple is without a shadow of a doubt absolutely in love, and we must say, incredibly cool! Desiree and Jereme met in high school and though fireworks didn’t start until years later, their love is one that withstands the test of time. From rekindling their friendship through Facebook to a surprise New Year’s engagement on the Oregon coast, this couple is full of fun personality and amazing stories. Both are loving parents, and this newly blended family gives light and hope to everyone they meet.
Their wedding day was about as perfect as you can ask for, especially from a creative point of view. Their ceremony backdrop was set at the beautiful historic Academy in downtown Vancouver. If you haven’t visited The Academy Chapel, we HIGHLY recommend it! The architecture is superb and the light will make you swoon! As we captured pre-wedding images and video, we could tell by the glow on Desiree’s face that she was truly happy and ready to be hitched to Jereme. Their ceremony was one of the best ceremonies I’ve been blessed to witness, featuring a sand ceremony that included not only the bride and groom, but also all of their incredible children. It was a touching moment as each walked up to the alter to add their vial of sand to the large vase, symbolizing this family coming together as one.
Karina and I took advantage of the incredible light this venue had to offer and shot some bridal portraits in the chapel, before heading the the grounds surrounding the Academy. We only had a few minutes, but we utilized an ideal ivy laden brick wall for a few incredible portraits before the couple was whisked away to their reception.
Their intimate reception was held at another incredible location The Rusty Grape Winery located in Battle Ground, WA. Again, SWOON! This quaint little winery tucked away just past Main street in Battle Ground showcased Desiree and Jereme’s reception like nobody’s business! From hand-poured featured wines from the winery’s array of bottled goodness, to live music, and a perfectly refined relaxed atmosphere, Rusty Grape offered the perfect backdrop to celebrate the day’s nuptials.
After exploring the grounds for a few minutes, Karina and I utilized the incredible light the evening offered and the backdrop of a few rows of vineyards, and a neighboring field. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sunset to showcase this incredible couple.
