Anna and Mikey's wedding was so incredible to witness. I always feel blessed when I'm able to be one of five guests at a wedding! We started in Hoyt Arboretum and they said their vows beneath a beautiful tree, sipped champagne in the rain and snacked on cupcakes! From there we went to the former location of the bike shop they originally met at and it ended up being called the "Love Building" :) he he. They brought out their sweet Schwinn tandem bike and it made for some cute pics! They planned for a lovely dinner at the incredible Irving Street Kitchen and it was a perfect day. Makeup and hair by the lovely and talented Kirstie Wight Makeup. Stunning flowers by Ink and Peat. Her awesome dress by Burberry.

The day was perfect and the the couple couldn't be happier or more gorgeous! K&J decided to elope with the encouragement and support of their family and friends. The ceremony took place in the couple's mid-century inspired living room with a cocktail hour at the Gold Dust Meridian, where the couple met, and a brunch at the Screen Door restaurant. Their cute puppy, Baxter, was the proud ring bearer and the couple's dear friends Erin and Dylan were the witnesses. All in all, an inspiring and fun Portland wedding that I will never forget. Thank you so much to K&J for inviting me into your home to document such intimate moments.

I made some of the decorations if anyone falls in love with the heart banner or white poofs on the windows. It was beyond an honor to make them for K&J. My services are always available!
