A Military wedding with Cascade mountain range backdrop Bend, Oregon

Jess & Noah are both active duty service members and their love story is powerful. This wedding was a reflection of all of the joy they pour into their loved ones. The highlights for me was when they threw formalities to the wind and went jumping on the trampoline and shortly after when the bride, air guitared on the ground to an awesome song! This wedding is also a beautiful example of the power of choosing to do a “first look” before their ceremony. They took the opportunity to feel their emotions thoroughly in private as well as praying for another and their marriage. In my humble opinion, tradition is beautiful but theres so much emotional freedom to be found in choosing an intimate first look.
