This is the last wedding I'll be posting before Christmas, and I must say, it's a pretty good one to end on before my little holiday hiatus! A fantastical bohemian wedding, set amongst a moss covered forest of towering trees in Oregon. Julie Pepin Photography was on hand to capture James + Aileen's magical day, and she truly caught that magic in her images. Here's some more about the wedding, from the bride Aileen...
I have not only attended but also participated in countless weddings. After a while, they all begin to look the same. I was never one to fantasize about my own wedding as they were always more of a chore than a joy. That was, of course, until my own boyfriend whom I'd known since I was 13 got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. As if struck by lightning, I suddenly knew EXACTLY the feel and vibe of our wedding as though I'd been secretly scheming for years. I knew it would be peacock themed and a bit on the rugged fairy tale-esque side with lots of green nature, brown woodsy goodness, and earthy lovin'. I also knew there would be tons of bargain thrift store hunting and DIY projects (which I love) in order to get the most out of our small budget. Lucky for me, James was completely on board and willing to help with everything I decided so long as he didn't have to figure anything out :). The stars aligned and everything began falling into place. There was such an outpouring of love and support from family and friends to help make our wedding celebration our own. What it all boils down to is that the day was perfect and James and I are as content as ducks in a pond!
