Wayne + Claire | Silver Falls Sate Park Wedding Photos

I love it when friends and family come together to put on a wedding celebration, and for Wayne and Claire, it was just that! They were able to do an all-weekend bash (think camp out) at the stunning Silver Falls State Campgrounds, where they also had their ceremony nestled among the trees. It was a “hobbit” themed wedding, think lots of wool, bare feet, mead, and lots of amazing food! Complete with a whole roasted pig, a leg of prosciutto that the bride's dad made and also oversaw the precision needed to slice said ham. Wedding bands were literally forged in flames by the groom. Hair pendants and groom boutonniere made by the bride's brother. All the cups were hand-painted by the bride and given as gifts to all the guests and so so much more. Lots of joy at this wedding, and a feast that will be remembered for a long time. Oh and I also forgot to mention lots of family dogs, an adored bunny, and fresh-shucked oysters.
