n a sacred day awash with heightened emotion, couples are rightly focused on each other and the commitment they are undertaking. Photography allows you to be fully present while someone else captures all the moments you miss — or don’t remember.

Here are some things to keep in mind as you decide how to create a meaningful record of your wedding day. Your photographer’s style, skill, and chosen medium will all affect the finished product. Reviewing both portfolios and finished albums will give you a sense of the quality of each photographer’s work and how well it meshes with your vision. Find out whether the photographer uses film or digital equipment, how much editing they like to do, and what special services they offer (such as drone photography or wedding videos — see below for more on those). “Couples should study a

photographer’s work to see if they have a style that goes with their wedding plans,” said Teri J

Pieper of Reflected Light Images. “They should also make time to talk to the photographer, pref-

erably in person, to determine if they like them. The photographer will be around the couple for much of one of the most important days of their lives and it could be awkward if they were not compatible.” Brandon Pasley of Methow Photography agrees that it’s important to look beyond the portfolio and evaluate the photographer’s ability to convey the unique essence of your relationship by taking an approach that aligns with your own. A written agreement with your photographer makes sure all of you understand what to expect — how much time the photographer will spend at your wedding, and whether they will be available before the ceremony; what finished products you’ll receive; and how much you’ll spend. Putting everything in writing well in advance gives you a chance to review the photographer’s offering and request any changes you’d like to see. Be sure to ask where the photographer will be coming from and what arrangements you’ll need to make if they are from out of the valley, such as paying for travel time or overnight accommodations.

Understand any rules that may apply to your venue, and be sure the photographer will be able to do justice to your wishes within the context of those rules. As with so many aspects of planning your wedding, the sooner you start, the better. “Ideally, couples should engage a photographer as early as possible, especially if they have a specific date in mind. This ensures availability and allows for a smooth planning process,” according to Pasley. Allowing plenty of time will let you make the best choice for yourselves, and work out the details without a lot of time pressure.

2024 trends

Changing tastes and technology continue to alter the ways in which couples approach wedding photography. Here are some trends to consider as you plan. • Candid photography, —also called documentary or reportage-style photography. Posed shots are becoming less popu-

lar as more couples opt for an authentic record of their wedding day that conveys their feelings and the experience of everyone involved. If the approach appeals to you, a photographer who can be thoughtful, creative, and unobtrusive may provide the most memorable documentation of your ceremony and reception. Most couples choose to mix candid photography with a few more-traditional shots. Pieper explained how she approaches candid photography: “I am a documentary style photographer and I do not try to tell the couple how and when things should happen. I will follow the schedule they’ve set up and capture its story in photos. While there are always posed group photos, I like to capture the candid moments of the day, the happy hugs with friends and family, children at play and the carefully planned details. But most of all, I like to get the couple alone, after

the ceremony, maybe after the meal, to get photos of the two of them when they are relaxed and starting their life together as a married couple.” • Drone shots. If you’re married outdoors, drone photography can capture an overview of your wedding site and the surrounding scenery. Drones don’t catch the kind of detail that most couples want to record, but in the hands of an experienced drone photographer they may be a welcome addition to a photo package. Drones can be noisy — you may not want to have one flying during your ceremony or at other times when the sound could be disruptive. If you do choose to use a drone, be sure to be aware of any legal restrictions, especially during fire season when drones can interfere with aerial firefighting. • Disposable cameras. Providing guests with disposable cameras so they can take

pictures during the wedding reception has been popular for so long that it may have moved from trend to tradition. It’s still a popular way to get your friends and family involved and record sweet, fun, and funny moments you may miss. If you do provide cameras, you may also want to let your guests know what you’re looking for — usually candid shots of other guests rather than the newlyweds—as well as where to leave the cameras and where family and friends can see the results, if you plan to post them. • Wedding videos. Sometimes called a sizzle reel, a wedding video highlights the day’s most memorable moments. Wedding videos are short — usually one to five minutes long — and often including music and voice recordings to tell your story in a way that reflects both events and emotions.

Let them eat cake? Yes — but there are options

BY A S H L E Y LO DATO

ust as burgers are the ubiquitous barbecue mainstay, cake is — or has been — integral to weddings for generations, even millennia. Or at least, so

Valley Vows 2024

the internet tells us. Some websites refer to wedding cake as essential to every nuptial. Others simply use it as a placeholder for a sweet treat favored by the betrothed. Although wedding cakes are said to have been a symbol of social status and a talisman of good fortune, they have evolved into simply a culinary component of a wedding with

superb potential for gastronomic creativity and photographic opportunity. Usurping even the hallowed bride’s bouquet, the cake is the defending champion of wedding imagery. As the betrothed delve into wedding planning, they soon find themselves at a fork (with, perhaps, a knife) in the road. Let them eat cake, they ask themselves? Or should they eat — something less traditional? What

begins as an investigation into contemporary wedding dessert trends quickly devolves — or rather, evolves — into an ode to desserts, and a fresh look at the sweetness of matrimony, as the couple discovers the myriad wedding dessert options now sanctioned by even the most traditional of modern marriage mavens. Even with prices ranging from $2 to $12 per slice, depending on a range of factors, a cake

tends to be the most economical way to feed a crowd, compared with individual handheld desserts. Factor in the cost of a plate and fork, however, and the cost per serving equalizes a bit more.

Tasting Room, Downtown Twisp

In recent years, wedding planners have seen a surge of interest in cake-less weddings, as couples are choosing single-serving desserts that represent personal favorites; brownies, cookies, cupcakes, hand pies and mini pies, macarons, mousse, petit fours, and whoopie pies have all emerged as contemporary wedding dessert offerings. More splashy are statement pieces like candy buffets, donut walls, a hot fudge sundae bar, or an ice

cream truck. Some couples provide a nod to ethnic heritage with selections like baklava, churros, or pan dulce. With the exception of Methow, each of the towns in the Methow Valley is home to at least one small artisan bakery, many of which will make cakes and other wedding desserts upon request. Another option is to do what several Methow Valley couples have done recently: ask 10 or 12 of the guests closest to you to bring one or two dozen servings of any kind of dessert, resulting in a wedding dessert buffet more varied and eclectic than anything a caterer would be likely to arrange, and inspired by local love.

The lore of the rings Wedding bands are still popular, but there are other choices BY A S H L E Y LO DATO

f Beyoncé has (among so many other accomplishments) inspired a generation of matrimonial aspirants to “put a ring on it,” the wedding band industry is silently thanking her all the way to the bank, as its revenues march upward, Valley Vows 2024

bolstered by social media, increasingly public and highly photographed proposals, and scores of wedding websites dedicated to the decorative encircling of a finger. With the average engagement ring costing between $4,000$12,000, and another $700$3,000 for a wedding band, these little loops of precious metal that signify to others that you’re married represent more than just a commitment to another human — they represent a serious investment of capital.

The tradition of exchanging rings is attributed to Egypt, where “rings of love” made of woven reeds or other fibers were considered a symbol of eternal life and love, but it is the Romans who are credited with associating rings with marriage. A tidy little legend tells us that these ancient cultures believed that a vein ran from the fourth finger of the left hand directly to the heart, earning that digit a designation as the “ring finger,” but this theory has no scientific foundation. Nonetheless, being romantic sentimentalists, we

North Americans who choose to wear wedding bands have stuck with the tradition of wearing them on this finger. Although most modern wedding rings are made of gold (yellow gold, white gold, rose gold), platinum, or titanium, silver and stainless steel are not uncommon either. Less traditional ring materials, such as silicon, wood, leather, and fiber offer benefits of flexibility and economy.

Options

Couples who don’t wish to wear rings have many other options for

public symbols of commitment, including nose rings, tattoos, bracelets, watches, and “ring on a string” — one’s wedding band threaded on a chain and worn as a necklace. In the Methow Valley, many of those who work with their hands or spend significant amounts of time doing field work are electing to wear silicon rings. They’re light, breathable, and lifestyle-friendly; they’re also inexpensive, durable, and available at local gear shops. If you like it but you’d rather put some ink on it, the Methow Valley has several tattoo studio options. Couples might choose matching or complementary tattoos, on ring fingers, wrists, or arms. Retail shops that offer both custom and off-the-shelf rings and other wedding jewelry are located in Winthrop and Twisp. For custom jewelry, the Methow Valley Jewelers Collective rep-

resents six local jewelry artists: Sarah Jo Lightner of Glitter N’Grit Silversmithing, Joanne Marracci of Marracci Designs, Laurie Fisher of Luv on the Rocks, Julianna Owens of Pine Shadow Handmade, Camille Leininger of Camille Wild Handmade, Amelia Evans of AE Silversmithing, Hillary Ketcham Roseland of Lemon Milk, and Kelleigh McMillan of Songbird Jewelry. Additionally, Jewelry Designs by Nicole Ringgold offers another local option for custom wedding bands. Working with a local artisan gives you the opportunity to select or design a piece of wedding jewelry that reflects your aesthetic and your shared values. And a piece of wedding jewelry handcrafted by a Methow Valley artist is an expression of love not only for a person, but also for this place.
