Kim & Christian were married at one of the most magical places in all the land... Cannon Beach, OR. I did a personal post while we were there that describes my complete and utter obsession with the place. It was a true honor to shoot Kim & Christian there. It is my Narnia ;) I think each person needs a Narnia and Cannon Beach just happens to be mine. 

The fog wrapped us all in it's whimsical bliss that day. It was perfect. Kim & Christian were perfect. Their love for one another is so innocent and tender. They had an incredible wedding right on the beach in front of Haystack Rock. I always love when our couples do something a little different than the "norm" for their big day. It always adds a lot of character and life to the day. It was one of those kick-off-your-shoes-and-feel-the-sand-between-your-toes kind of day. It was relaxed, romantic and beautiful just like Kim & Christian. 

There is not much better than spending my day "at work" in my 'Narnia' with my hubby by my side, my shoes kicked off listening to the sound of the ocean break with two people totally in love :)

Enjoy the loveliness that is Kim & Christian...

oh Sarah and Chris you have spoiled me! You are the best decision I've ever made... well other than marrying Christian of course.

I thank you for your kind words, calm spirit, and vision of capturing the day. The pictures with my grandma melt my heart. My dad looks like he's the most relaxed, happiest dad ever! I absolutely adore my whole family and would love for you to join us for adventures to come.

Cheers to your awesomeness. You and Chris have showed me a new way to view the world around me!

Hi Sarah-
My sister sent me this link. Cannon Beach is my 'Narnia' as well. Christian even looks a little like Corey Feldman. Very appropriate for Haystack Rock. Kim is a beautiful bride. Great shots. I am having serious wedding envy. :) I think the shot of 'grandpa' is great!

Leah says: Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 04:34 PM

Just beautiful. I really get a sense of a this family being close knit and truly loving of one another. Thank you for being true to your heart and your eye Sarah. I think I'm older than you but I still want to be you when I grow up ;)

Sarah Wert says: Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 11:18 AM

This are so lovely, Sarah. I love Cannon Beach as well. Someone told me the rock just off the coast there was the rock from the movie, The Goonies. Wondering if it was too foggy to see it?
Thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan of your incredibly work!
