Kaitlyn and Grant’s Skyliner Lodge and McMenamin’s Wedding

April 2, 2019

Kaitlyn and Grant got married on a foggy and somewhat mystical day at Skyliner Lodge in Bend, Oregon. When we first met Kaitlyn and Grant we were immediately put at ease by their down-to-earth and honest natures. They both work hard to support one another in their dreams and have a love for the simple things in life. When they planned their wedding, they made sure to include beautiful touches throughout without making anything over-the-top. The simplicity of the forest and lovely Summer Robbins Flowers bouqs made the day feel completely perfect.

Kaitlyn and Grant both came to Bend from Iowa to explore a life of adventure in the West. Meeting them, you would never know they weren’t Oregon born. They took to our mountainous and outdoorsy ways like fish take to water. We’re lucky to have them as part of our community in Bend.

I would have to say that Kaitlyn and Grant are a special couple to us. The kind that we run into often and get super excited to hear all the news in their lives. We even convinced them to star in our new wedding album promo video by Mike Hiatt Media (link to https://timgallivan1.wpengine.com/albums-your-first-family-heirloom/). Shooting the video took maybe 20 minutes while the rest of the time was spent catching up over beers. We also got to attend the Wedventure Live Wedding Show with them as live audience members. I think they will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Here’s to you two. May the road be long and full of many more misty, forested adventures.
