On a rainy Fall day in Portland, Oregon, these two took their plans of a large celebration in wine country and turned it into the sweetest little wedding with their close friends and family in the Hoyt Arboretum forest. Everything glistened with magic and joy on the Redwood Deck. That’s a fancy way of saying that it POURED. You can’t ever plan for Oregon weather, but to me there is something really special about being in a rainy forest, with plenty of trees to snuggle and rest under. That’s what me and Watertown Films did anyway.

I love Hoyt Arboretum and if you do as well, feel free to browse a few other Forest Park weddings, here and here.
