4th Of July Wedding | Newport Oregon | Laura & Rob

This one is going to be easily the toughest wedding I’ve ever had to put to words. I mean… How do I tell you that during the reception I was surprised (and so were the guests… and the bride for that matter!) by Elvis. The King put on a show for the reception including for the couple’s first dance. Wow. And, the reception was at an Elk’s Lodge where the main event for most of the guests was to take an “elkie” with the elk head at the entrance. Amazing. And, fireworks over the bay at night, a ceremony on the bay, plenty of time to hang out and shoot portraits (including with a couple rolls of film) at the historic waterfront, and private access to the marina since Rob is a commercial crab fisher. Stoked.
