Michael Wolber and April Hartley officially win an award for Chillest Couple of the Year. When a raging wildfire made them relocate their Bend, Oregon, wedding reception this weekend, they calmly moved their guests to a safe spot and then posed for some seriously Vogue-worthy photos in front of the blaze. Photographer Josh Newton captured these stunning moments, before moving on to the reception miles away. The orange smoke clouds are still visible in the final photos, but everyone is clearly in high spirits. Best wishes to the happy couple and congratulations on turning a ‘delta Δ into ‘beautiful memories +’ .
