One day while checking my email, one of them caught my eye. It was for a styled wedding shoot at Navarra Gardens in Willamina. I’m not going to lie, I definitely thought it was a scam, because I thought this place had closed down, but as it turns out, it’s still there, going strong and gorgeous as ever!

I bought two tickets, one for me and one for my daughter/assistant/second shooter, Cheyenne to go and see what it was all about. I loved the invitation graphic with all the images and colors, it was really inviting. I had been a second shooter at a wedding that was held here many years prior, so I was eager to get back there and take my time getting some really good shots. This was also a really good time to help my daughter hone her skills and guide her in the right direction with angles, posing, and talking to people.
