How are we here already? Rose + Emilio was our last pre-covid wedding we captured and it just feels unreal to look back! We since captured a handful of covid safe weddings and other sessions but I can say one thing I missed most was seeing happiness in the corner of my eye and jumping to capture guests’ unexpected expressions because everyone was wearing a mask for safety since March. Hopeful for 2021 after seeing so much positive responses for the vaccine. #covidsafewedding #planningthroughapandemic #planningacovidwedding #covidweddingplanning #2020wedding #lastdaysof2020 #covidvaccine2020 #wereallinthistogether #bayareaweddingphotographer #sonomaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #loveissimple #2021isgoingtobeamazing #lovealwayswins #weddinggoals #brideandgroom (at Sonoma, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbyI5fjBu7/?igshid=17vsddzmqzgj7

Can’t even believe we’re just three weeks away from Andrew + Sierra’s big day! This lovely couple booked me at the beginning of last year because they knew they had a special date!!! 10-10-2020!!! I must’ve gotten over 20 other inquires for that date through last year and into the beginning of this year when folks were still planning. A pandemic will not stop this matrimony! Of course they’ve had to resize and replan a little but I just know it’s going to be just as amazing because love always wins! #livermoreweddings #planningthroughapandemic #10102020weddingday #bigday #engagementphotos #engaged #gettingmarried2020 #replanyourwedding #lovealwayswins #californiaweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #livermorevalleywinecountry #thisisus #ourlovestoryismyfavorite #truelove #covidweddingplanning #covidwedding2020 #covidwedding #weddingseason2020 #pnwweddingphotographer #pdxweddingphotographer #engagedcouple #fiance #cantwaittospendforeverwithyou (at Livermore, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUBFtZDlmD/?igshid=xkk30k99euxx

Couples getting married this year... or early next year (😉😉) — this is a must!!! Make sure you invest in some fun bridal masks for the big day because those blue disposable surgical looking social masks are not going to match your attire! Loving these Mr. and Mrs. masks that D+K sported for their Covid-friendly socially distanced wedding! #covidfriendlywedding #covidwedding #weddingduringpandemic #weddingduringcovid #planningthroughapandemic #covidmasks #hisandhersmasks #masksforweddings #weddingmasks #sociallydistanced #socialdistancing #socialdistancingwedding #gettingmarried2020 #pandemicstyle #weddinginspiration #pnwweddingphotographer #pdxphotographer #pdxweddingphotographer #pdxweddings #pnwweddings #loveissimple #theruinswedding #hoodriveroregon #hoodriverweddings #oregonweddingphotographer #microweddings #microweddingphotographer #reimaginedwedding #intimateweddingphotographer #supportsmallbusiness Shot for @rachaelbraunphoto (at The Ruins Events) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUdO8sjEw8/?igshid=1kwt43tls70ye

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain. Love looking back on this spring time wedding and seeing these groomsmen tough it out in the rain with their man of the hour!!! That’s love! #dancingintherain #lifeisnotaboutwaitingforthestormtopassitsaboutlearningtodanceintherain #lovealwayswins #weddingduringcovid #planningthroughapandemic #covidweddingplanning #celebratelove #groom #groomsmen #thegroom #groominspiration #bluetie #gettingmarried2020 #friends #sticktogether #covidwedding #bayareaweddingphotographer #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #sfweddings #throughthickandthin #loveissimple #youcanstandundermyumbrella #weddingseason2020 #loveisntcancelled #supportsmallbusiness (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHgtpOjweK/?igshid=1kj6l25nl656q

Some things to consider for guests if you’re going to have your wedding at this time: - Check with your venue to know what their current max capacity because different counties have different rules. Indoor & outdoor venues also can affect how many guests you can invite. - Make sure you count the number of vendors who will also be present. They will also count towards capacity. - Separate guests seating chart by household. Keep in mind some household counts can consist of 2 people. - Most guests should be prepared with masks when joining in on your day but I’d anything, have some masks and hand sanitizer available as a courtesy. All in all... have fun! Don’t stress! Everyone is thinking the same thing about theirs and your safety and well being. #planningthroughapandemic #weddingplanningtips #covidweddingplanning #covidwedding #microwedding #loweryourguestlistnotyourstandards #safetyfirst #wearamask #pandemicwedding2020 #pandemicweddingplanning #covidwedding2020 #pdxweddingphotographer #pnwweddings #portlandoregonphotographer #socialdistancing #sociallydistancedwedding #practicesocialdistancing #celebratelove #weddingseason2020 #gettingmarried2020 #smallweddingideas #intimatewedding Venue @leftbankannex Rentals @partyplacepdx Florals @blumpdx Menus @bluebonsaiprinting Catering @elephantsdeli (at Leftbank Annex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHWDQ4jUTD/?igshid=n0nfxfdn0d78

As everything slowly reopen for services, make sure you’re checking in with your venues to see what’s steps they are taking to make sure you and your family will be safe. I know that some of my couples have come to the conclusion that perhaps a micro wedding (as industry folks are calling it) may have to be the new norm for a little bit! I’ve been working with some industry folks on new ways to approach your wedding planing during this pandemic, let me know if you have any questions on: downsizing guest lists, rescheduling dates, or anything under the sun! The well being of you and yours in creating your new dream wedding is my priority! #pandemicweddingplanning #pandemiclife #quarantinelife #weddingseason2020 #planningthroughapandemic #microweddingphotographer #microweddings #microweddingsetup #rethinkyourwedding #loveissimple #bayareaweddingphotographer #pdxweddingphotographer #pnwweddingphotographer #seattleweddingphotographer #destinationelopementphotographers #elopementphotography #thenewweddingseason (at Union Hotel Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvgs8pjSd8/?igshid=fby6t0ujusqo
