Having already been married in Canada, these adorable people hosted a lovely party at The Laurelhurst Club, next to Laurelhurst Park. Classy and all about honoring their family and friends.
For a similar style, try this elopement at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, a larger wedding with guests and family traveling in from Japan, or this lovely ceremony at Hoyt Arboretum.
How do I even describe this day at The Evergreen? Goofy, joyful, hilarious? And they absolutely stomped that dance floor. Shot with my typical Fujifilm setup but also a few rolls of film through the Rolleiflex and Holga.
Coordinated by the fabulous Sam at YPB. Florals by Brier & Ivy, and DJ beats thrown down by Stumptown DJs.

A Camp Namanu wedding! Instead of food fights or basket weaving or camp cheers, these incredibly sweet men chose the kind of feelings for when your heart creeps up into your throat and makes tears of happiness through the entire experience. They chose to honor their friends and family amazing food, dancing, and shared stories in the intimate setting of a summer camp.
Coordinated by the wonderful Lexi from YPB, catering by Devil's Food, and groom's suits by Indochino and Mario's.
This couple was so thoughtful on their wedding day of not only taking the time to center themselves, but to be fully present with their friends and family, with all the joy and tears. Incorporating music, and dance, their lovely wedding was held at a former wedding venue and now Confluence Arts Center. I will always hear the laughter when I look through the photographs.
