Oh man, do we love Cannon Beach. When these two contacted us and asked if we'd be willing to photograph their elopement there (we're doing their reception in 2022), we jumped at the opportunity. In fact, we love Cannon Beach weddings & elopements so much, we offer special packages for th[...]
While we've always done a lot of elopement photography, 2020 has truly ushered in the Micro Wedding movement. Couples who come to us for elopements often have some questions about what they need to do to Elope, and what all GSquared can help them with. We wanted to put together a resource post[...]
With so much changing in the wedding world for 2020, it seems that having at least some part of a virtual wedding day may become more and more important. When we got married in 2012, we webcast our wedding so that Kate's grandparents could be part of the day (they live in AZ) - sadly, the service w[...]
We have one mission when we photograph a wedding day: Serve our couples and help create a stress-free, calm wedding experience for them. As you can imagine, we've been to a LOT of weddings, and we've been there through beautiful moments and trying times. Plan to oversee or do any decorating yours[...]

Envisioning your wedding day can be a daunting task. Not just the decor and fun details, but the overall timeline of the day and how everything will flow. Wrapping your mind around what the entire day will hold can be a bit much. After all, most of us only get to experience a small part of the weddi[...]
We like to take a few behind the scenes photos at weddings . Some shots have even become a bit of a "tradition" if you will. Josh hanging the dress, Josh with the bouquet... and we used to be so good about sharing them. This year was our busiest year yet, so I thought we'd share some in a blog post[...]
Ceremony Time is so INCREDIBLY important. As many of you know, it's the beginning of busy season, so we are building a LOT of timelines right now for our upcoming weddings - and it makes us want to throat punch (ok, not really, but still) whoever told couples that getting married at 2, 3 or even 4pm[...]
Minted is one of our favorite wedding invitation suite and paper accessories sources online. And full disclosure, we're actually a photographer partner of Minted, but we weren't compensated in any way for making this post. All photos in this post are from Minted.com's individual listings and were n[...]
For the last couple of years we have entered the Shoot and Share Contest, and of course we had to enter for 2019. This is the largest free photo contest, and is open to photographers of every skill level throughout the world. This year, there were almost 600,000 total photos entered in to 25 catego[...]

Why should you consider a Friday or Sunday wedding in the summer? Well, let us tell you. One of the difficult things about Saturday weddings in the Summer (aka "wedding season") is that often, when you start to book vendors, all the ones you really want are already booked. That sucks, right? W[...]
Our final post in the Best of 2018 is Brides and Grooms! We like to round out our Best of posts with the most important people of the wedding day - Brides and Grooms!

Time for Part 7, and it's one of our favorite categories: Wedding Details. We firmly believe that wedding details are a huge part of any wedding story. These details are usually painstakingly chosen for their specific meaning or piece of the couple's journey together, or the relationship they have[...]
