Photography by Evrim Icoz | WEDDINGS Corinna & Julie 6.11.12 ROMANCE MEETS FUN A beautiful Christmas tree farm near Salem owned by Corinna’s sister and her husband served as the perfect location for the big day. The couple were wed under a 100-year-old silver oak tree. Julie made her way down the long aisle to her bride via a 4-wheel drive Kubota driven by two nephews. Corinna walked, her mom and dad on each arm. Martinis followed immediately after. A perfect day for a loving couple.

LOVE: “Corinna is a beautiful spirit,” Julie says. “A one of a kind. She’s honest. And her laugh. You can’t mistake it and it’s contagious, Julie says. “She’s confident as she walks through the world, but can be so soft and vulnerable,” says Corinna. “Julie is truly the kind- est person that I’ve ever known. She is extremely thoughtful, loving and cares deeply for people around her.” JustOut.com 27
