Church: St. Edith Stein at Katy, TX
Reception: Kim Son

Quyen and Randy has been together for ages, and they’ve finally decided that the time is right to tie the knot. I thought Randy was actually a really cool, fun, goofy guy, then i come to find out that he is an Army drill instructor! A really hardcore and mean one too. Hmm… I wonder what his recruits will think of him after the pictures I’m about to post…

That’s right, we’re in Texas

Randy can’t resist making goofy faces

The wishing tree, more on this later

XO, this is some hard liquor

The girls wanted Quyen to chug straight from the bottle (She took a big swig)

Randy can’t be outdone, so he chugged two bottles at a time

Party

one of the guests sang a love song to Quyen and Randy

More drinking

Toast Version 2…

The guys at the back are too funny!

I went to look at the wishing tree at the end of the night, and found a few funny notes. This one said “I wish that I was a warrior”

Uncle Hippy left his mark too…

Congratulations Quyen and Randy, I had a blast shooting your very exciting wedding!

We’ve always heard how pretty the Oregon coast is, so we decided to take a trip along the Oregon coast and check out the scenery for ourselves. I have to say though, even though we check the weather before we left, and we were fully aware that the temperature would be in the 50′s, the sensation of going from full blown Houston summer to icy cold coastal weather is just weird. So was the Oregon coast as beautiful as everyone said it is? Take a look and decide for yourself~

This is our first view of Cannon Beach

Walking on the beach

This beach is HUGE!

Seems like everyone has a dog, and the dogs don’t mind the cold at all!

The weather wasn’t really cooperating at Cannon Beach, so we decided to start heading south along the famous HWY 101. As we were passing by this busy little town, we saw a whale watching sign. Since we have no itinerary for this trip, we were on a whale watching boat heading out to sea 10 minutes later.

Everyone was straining to spot the tell tale signs of whale water sprout, so was this dog!

Well, I only caught an all too brief glance at a whale before the cruise time was up. We come to find out that we actually stopped by at Depoe Bay, known as one of the smallest fishing ports in the world. If anyone has see the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” staring Jack Nicholson, this is the bay where the “Cuckoo’s” escaped and took a fishing boat out from.

After the whale watch we drove farther south, and by night fall we were rewarded with a very freaky/sinister view

Next stop: Redwoods National Park

Silver Falls State Park

Random scenes as we head back north.

Multnomah Fall

Latourell Falls

Since Seattle is so close, we couldn’t resist taking a quick detour.
Pike Place Market, or as I call it, the Seattle’s Best Coffee sign

Love the twilight

Sleepless in Seattle!

I wanted one more shot at the Oregon Coast, so we headed back to Cannon Beach. Good thing we did too. The skies cooperated a bit more, and we were rewarded with a great view.

Goodbye Oregon~
