Darcy and Emil
Darcy and Emil were married on July 21st at East Fork Country Estate, nestled at the base of Mt. Hood. It was easily the hottest day of the summer. The temperature that day soared to a sweltering 110 degrees and there were no breezes to cool us down. The tents afforded little relief from the heat. The only air conditioning was in the main house where the dressing rooms were located and even that was put to the test.
Darcy braves the heat as she walks up to Emil for their first moment together on their wedding day.
The sun eventually gave way to an approaching storm. This softened the light for beautiful portraits, but did nothing to assuage the oppressive heat.
Emil succumbs to the pressure of family and friends urging him to smash the cake in Darcy’s face.
Darcy quickly teaches Emil the meaning of equality in marriage.

Surprisingly, there were more guys out on the dance floor than women at any given time. That was a first for me. Despite the heat, there were smiles on everyone’s faces and lots of hugs and love being shared. Emil’s family shared authentic Romanian food and everyone had a great time. Congratulations to Darcy and Emil and their families for grace under pressure and for surviving the hottest day of the summer. It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day, aside from the drenched clothes! Best wishes to the new couple for a lifetime of happiness!

Anyhow Randy…….Good work on the shots, the heat didn’t give you much room with to work with, but you did one hell of a job. Darcy and Emil are Hot!
