A Runaway Bride!? | Michelle & Dannie's Epic Wedding Film Prank
The Perfect Backdrop
Dannie and Michelle’s wedding in Dayton, Oregon was the kind of day I love to film and photograph. Real. Warm. Personal. A day that was truly crafted around their relationship and their people. On October 4, 2025, these two said their vows in the heart of Oregon wine country and we had the honor of capturing everything from first look to their epic sparkler sendoff.
The Runaway Bride?!
One of the funniest and most unexpected moments of the entire day happened right before the ceremony. Michelle arrived in a stunning convertible and surprised everyone by revving the engine and screeching off like she was getting cold feet, sending the guests (and Dannie) into instant laughter.
A few minutes later, she returned in true Michelle fashion. This time, with her mother and father on each arm, she glided down the aisle with pure confidence and joy. The prank set the perfect tone for who they are as a couple. Fun. Original. Unforgettable.
