8.14.2010 Wedding ~ Victorian Valley Views

Back in August Tim and Stephanie were married at the beautiful Victorian Hill in Salem. There are numerous garden areas to choose from for the ceremony and the deck for the reception overlooks the valley - it's beautiful! This was my first time working with this venue and they were SO wonderful to work with!

We really enjoyed working with Tim and Stephanie - there was this sense of unity, compassion, and love for each other that I can't even begin to describe. They had their ceremony on the Meadow Lawn with the wooden pavilion - a very peaceful setting. The reception was just a few feet away on the side of the Victorian home and deck where everyone was able to enjoy the breathtaking sunset. Steve, the DJ of Dance the Nite Away, was able to set up easily in one spot for both the ceremony and reception - and Steve was great to work with!

There were a lot of friends that helped with certain parts of the wedding - cake, catering, photography, flowers, and they were ALL amazing to work with! I wish they all did their "specialty" full-time so I could refer people to them and so we could work with them again! The cake was beautiful and the groom's cake was a hit! All of the guests wanted pictures of the groom's race car cake. Tim loved it too! The food was some of the best I've ever had - so many options - no one was left hungry! The centerpieces were stunning and I loved their wildflower seed packets as wedding favors for their guests. Roth's in Salem did the bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres - and I loved the colors that Tim and Stephanie chose!






During the reception there was a lot of dancing - including a guest who could do some serious Michael Jackson moves! With the sun setting in the background - it made for some really cool pictures as well. Brandon Cook, their friend / photographer was also great to work with - thanks for giving us so many great pictures to choose from! I loved all the speeches - they were so heartfelt and memorable - you could really tell the love that the guests had for the bride and groom, the love that Tim and Stephanie had for each other, and the love the couple had for all their guests. Overall the wedding was very intimate and everyone had a great time!


Tim and Stephanie, thank you for having us share your wedding day with you! We had a great time working with you, your guests, and all of your friends that contributed for the wedding. Congrats!
