Kristi & Jason’s rehearsal dinner

I’d like to welcome you, blog readers, to Kristi & Jason week! This whole week, I’ll be sharing images from Kristi & Jason’s seaside destination wedding that happened on Aug. 1. I had a blast photographing them, meeting their family and enjoying their company. We start today with their laid-back rehearsal dinner.

Since Kristi and Jason are from Colorado and their families are from all over the country (mostly the Midwest and California), this was a destination wedding on the Oregon coast. They did a great job having lots of chances for their guests to gather and celebrate throughout their wedding weekend.

Their rehearsal dinner was a laid-back barbecue at a great little pub in downtown Garibaldi, Oregon (which is a tiny little town on the beautiful Oregon coast where Kristi’s aunt and uncle live).

It was so relaxing for everyone to enjoy themselves, have a beer and some fresh grilled fish and enjoy their time together.

Kristi and Jason were even relaxed! I had so much fun, and this party really set the stage for their beautiful wedding the next day. Check back tomorrow to see how it all happened!
