R + J's Intimate PNW Wedding at Crook Point

On September 19, 2023, Ryleigh and John gathered with their closest family and friends for an unforgettable micro wedding at Crook Point’s Byrdies Beach House. With a stunning ocean view, a handpicked team of vendors, and an emphasis on authentic moments, their day was a true reflection of their love and adventurous spirit.

Why They Chose a Micro Wedding

For Ryleigh and John, the decision to keep their guest list at 20 was an easy one. Prioritizing budget and core relationships allowed them to focus on creating an intimate and meaningful experience.
