I already knew that Emma & Keyan’s wedding was going to be special, but the unexpected beauty of the Eugene courthouse really added to the excitement of the day. Before the wedding, I had only seen the exterior of the building, which presents beige tones and cement. I wasn’t sure what to expect on the inside. To my surprise, we were all in awe of the big windows, beautiful wood paneling and the option for the couple to get married on the rooftop overlooking downtown Eugene.
This wedding was one of my favorite days ever. It was very intimate and so perfect for Emma and Keyan. It was just them, Emma’s parents, me and the clerk. It’s hard to describe the feeling of being one of the few people invited to witness such a treasured day in someone’s life.
After the ceremony, we walked around the courthouse to take photos and found some more beautiful pockets of the building. We continued and walked around downtown Eugene and headed over to Off the Waffle for breakfast. Truly just a very lovely morning with some of my favorite people.
I drove home feeling so excited about the wedding and wrote in my journal :
“I can’t wait to keep meeting people in love and the people that they love … How lucky I am to have a job where I look for beauty around me. And I get to eternalize it”.
I wasn’t intending on adding one of my personal journal entries… but as I look back, I think it really captures how this day and these people made me feel. I hope that energy shows through the photos.
