A Playful and Grounded Celebration at Abbey Road Farm | Nick & Kristina’s Wedding

The day couldn’t have been more perfect for Nick and Kristina’s wedding at Abbey Road Farm, a family-owned winery tucked in the rolling hills of Carlton, Oregon. The air was warm, the sky crystal clear, and every inch of the property radiated that serene vineyard charm that makes Oregon wine country so special. Rows of vines framed the horizon, the grass glowed a vibrant green, and the white ceremony chairs stood waiting beneath the afternoon sun.

From the moment the two arrived, Nick and Kristina filled the day with laughter. They were playful and tender in equal measure — always sneaking in a cheeky smile, a silly face, or a quick butt-grab in between poses. Their connection was effortless, the kind that makes photographing a couple feel less like work and more like being invited into something truly joyful.

One of the most beautiful moments came during their ceremony. Just before exchanging personal vows, Nick and Kristina slipped off their shoes and stood barefoot in the grass. Both are avid lovers of yoga and the outdoors, and they wanted to ground themselves — literally — as they promised forever. The simplicity of that gesture reflected exactly who they are: intentional, free-spirited, and deeply connected to the world around them.

As the evening unfolded, the celebration carried into the barn — glowing with candlelight, string lights, and soft florals in shades of white and cream. Every detail reflected understated elegance and authenticity, a perfect match for the two souls at the heart of it all.

Nick and Kristina’s day was more than just a wedding; it was a living reminder that love can be both lighthearted and deeply rooted — playful, barefoot, and beautifully grounded.
