Lauran & Jake had a gorgeous classic wedding at Cape Horn Estate along the Washington Gorge. I primarily worked with Lauran & Didi, the mother of the groom, to finalize all details regarding their gorgeous day. 

Each and every vendor they chose was carefully chosen to make this day come alive. Their florals by Sarah Dickerson Flowers were an absolute dream! 

Madeline Rose Photography Co. is so talented at what she does and each photo was perfect and flawless. 

Jake and Lauran started their guests with a welcome cocktail upon arrival. Their ceremony was sweet and cocktail hour followed with Gourgeous Grazing Board charcuterie and drinks. Their reception flowed smoothly and everyone tore it up on the dance floor! They laughed, they cried, and they partied so hard that Jake's pants ripped! Luckily, it was at the end of the evening, and now it's just a great story! Jake & Lauran and their families were able to relax and soak in every special moment because they chose a fantastic vendor team they could trust.

Allison & Shanahan had a rustic and elegant wedding at The Empress Estate. There was not a dry eye in the crowd when these two said their I do's to each other. Their love was so apparent and everyone saw it.

The outdoor ceremony was followed by a gorgeous cocktail hour on the patio in front of the most beautiful outdoor fireplace. The reception was held inside the Woodland Chateau on the property. 

Nothing can come close to the enthusiasm this bride had when they cut the wedding cake. It was probably one of my all-time favorite moments watching her cut the cake and let loose!

Ana & Matt had a beautiful vision for an outdoor garden ceremony at Shakespeare Gardens and an intimate reception at CH Northeast.

Chas at Wildflower Portland delivered an absolutely gorgeous tablescape and I once again got to work with the amazing Casi Yost Photography whose work is shown here. 

Ana & Matt's love for each other through so many obstacles shone through in their vows and the way they interact with each other. It was such a joy to be a part of their planning process and one of those weddings that even the vendors didn't want to leave when it was time to end!

McKenzie and Chris had a fantastically unique wedding day! 

McKenzie wore a gorgeous black and blue dress made by her mother. The ceremony was held at Latourell Falls in Oregon, right in front of the waterfall! I highly recommend this as an alternative to private vows. Everyone can see, but they can't hear, which was the couple's goal.

The reception was held in a greenhouse at Mt. Hood Center and of course, started off with cocktails and a dress change. Surrounded by beautiful plants, the decor colors popped magnificently. In lieu of having all the traditional wedding events, the couple chose to see their reception as a highly elevated dinner party. It absolutely fit their personalities, and everyone enjoyed the night.

Annie & Dylan had a very woodsy yet modern vision for their wedding. 

Their ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner were held at the Hoyt Arboretum in Portland, and they finished off the evening with live music, drinks, and late-night pizza at a private residence. The color scheme they chose was chic and modern and created a great pop of color against the woodsy backdrop. 

This fun couple had some great things to keep their party going including a party bus to transport their guests, espresso martinis, late-night pizza, and cookies and candies in lieu of a cake.

Did someone say garden party wedding? 

Serena & Jacob did! They celebrated their love with private vows, a short and sweet ceremony, cocktail hour on the patio, and a lively evening of dinner and dancing. The polaroids were taken all evening and captured the day so perfectly.

Every touch was chic and elegant, and delivered an absolute masterpiece of a wedding! They were an absolute joy to work with and didn't take themselves too seriously (scroll for fun photos).

The talented Casi Yost delivered with photos to match the elegant occasion and Linens & Fleurs worked tirelessly to create all the gorgeous florals to elevate the amazing patio at McMenamins Edgefield.
