mt hood organic farms colorful joyful wedding

Lots of debates about first looks vs walking down the aisle moments and after being a wedding photographer for more than 15 years, I know that you can't really forecast the moment. But this bride's goal was for her groom to weep when she came down the aisle and it happened with joy and laughter. Magic is magic, planned or not. You, dear reader, already know how I feel about Mt Hood Organic Farms, so to have all that sweetness and sounds of cackles and chuckles and ballyhoo happening ALL day around that farm just made everything glow.

Coordinated by Kristen at Mt Hood Organic Farms, who will always go above and beyond with love, food that I always eat too much of by Ginger of Cultivate Catering, and Florals by the sweetest Hood River local, Lucy of Lucy's Informal Flowers.

coopers hall mt tabor summer wedding

Who is that lil' pup, you may ask? Well, you may just know that lil' pup is the goodest lil' pup you ever did see and a very important part of this lovely wedding day. These Portlanders designed a wedding that honored their goodest lil' pup, their bestest city, and their bestest friends. After getting ready, we journeyed to Mt Tabor park for a nod to some tall Douglas fir trees and then off to Cooper's Hall for a grand party.

Florals by Hyacinth Orange Floral Design and the wedding held at the fabulous Cooper's Hall.
