Trailing Twine Photography

Ling did an excellent job photographing our crazy outdoor March wedding in the PNW! We were her first wedding as a primary shooter so we were a little bit nervous (can’t really re-​do the day!) but she came through with images that made us both cry all over again when our gallery went up. We definitely didn’t make it easy on her with my goofy, easily distracted family but she made it work and got the killer group shots I was so hoping for!
She is incredibly sweet and drove all the way from Salem to Washougal WA for a walk through of the ceremony site with us a few weeks before so she was prepared; she asked a TON of questions to get the best idea she could of what we were hoping for. We should have had rain (which she was prepared for) but instead we were blessed with a beautifully sunny spring day that she took full advantage of. She got some AMAZING shots with the light filtering through the trees during the ceremony!
Aside from the brief walk through we kind of left her hanging on what would happen day of as we wanted to let the day happen organically and didn’t have a hard schedule to give her. She was super flexible and patient as there was a LOT of chaos that day! Our ceremony was in WA at 1pm and the reception wasn’t until 6pm in Portland and she was totally willing to work with our crazy schedule!
Our reception was in a very dimly lit hall (per our preference) and the poor thing was literally running around trying to adjust lighting and such to make sure the important shots were captured. We absolutely love so many of our photos, we can’t figure out which ones to purchase!
I would undoubtedly refer Ling to any of my friends and family for photographs! We were so sad (yet happy for her!) when she moved back east as we would LOVE to do a family shoot with her again!
