Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries. This summer it would seem that three degrees of separation would be more appropriate. All my couples seem to know each other.

Kaylin and Bradley were married on August 6th at the Greater Gresham Baptist Church and their reception was held at Persimmon Country Club. Why Persimmons you ask? A) it’s a beautiful location. B) they both used to work there. C) they met there and it’s where Bradley proposed to Kaylin.

The church was a large suburban mega-church. The stage was large and lit with spotlights. This is Bradley waiting for Kaylin, anticipating the first time they see each other on their wedding day.

He’s got the whole world in his hands. I couldn’t resist when I saw this photo opportunity.

Another installment of my ongoing series of captures by Kristen. I think this a very humorous moment. During the time that Kaylin and Bradley were seeing each other for the first time, we kept everyone else out of the sanctuary. This didn’t stop anyone from peeking in and watching.

Kaylin peeking in to watch the slideshow just moments before walking down the aisle to marry Bradley.

Can you tell these two are happy? Newly married, they are being chauffeured to their wedding reception.

We photographed all the formal photographs at the church. Once we arrived at the country club, we took the wedding party down to the putting green for more casual portraits. Another example of using the bridal party in the background to add more depth and interest as opposed to the line ‘em up and shoot ‘em grandma formals.

Kaylin and Bradley made their getaway in a classic muscle car who’s original owner was a family member.

If the theme from my prior weekend seemed to be old churches, then the theme from this weekend would have been panoramic vistas of Mt. Hood. This is the green at Persimmons Country Club where Bradley proposed to Kaylin. One of my favorite images from their wedding, the soft evening light was absolutely gorgeous.

If you follow my posts, you will find that I’m having a great time this year. Being blessed with such amazing couples keeps me looking forward to every wedding. Kaylin and Bradley’s wedding was no exception. They were surrounded by loved ones, both family and friends. Everyone welcomed us as part of their family and allowed us to step in and share in their joy as they celebrated together.

Best wishes to Kaylin and Bradley. Congratulations to both your families. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding story.
