There’s something incredibly special about a wedding at your childhood home. Makana and Jeff tied the knot on her family’s land, surrounded by open fields, towering trees, and their most important people. The green grass and the open blue sky created the perfect backdrop for an intimate celebration.

What made this day even more meaningful is how close these two are to us. Jeff has been a longtime family friend, someone who already feels like part of our story, so seeing him marry the love of his life felt personal in the best way. The whole day carried that sense of closeness—simple, heartfelt, and completely genuine.

The bride added just a hint of her Hawaiian roots, bringing a touch of tropical beauty into the Oregon landscape. It was subtle, thoughtful, and blended seamlessly with the outdoor setting. Altogether, the day felt effortless—an intimate gathering of people who truly love them, celebrating in a place that already felt like home.

The Lord writes the best stories, and this one was especially sweet. J+M forever!!
