Two men who've loved each other for over a decade, and they hosted a lovely celebration for their friends and family. Held at the Black Pearl, overlooking the Columbia River, and being the magnificent hosts that they are, they cut and served the cake to their guests.

Coordinated by Jenah at YPB. Florals by Red's Creations, delicious morsels by Mad Hatter, and the architecturally on point cake by Dream Cakes.

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.

mt hood organic farms wildfire season wedding

Two of the kindest people, married at the loveliest venue. They incorporated a Chinese tea ceremony, lots of joy, my favorite Photo Booth, and a classic car sendoff. And both being classical musicians, everyone was treated to a moving performance at the end of the day. As is the unfortunate case of PNW summers now, wildfire smoke moved in towards the evening, but it didn't stop the party.

Coordinated by the lovely miracle conjuror, and hardest working Kristen at Mt Hood Organic Farms, food by the talented Ginger of Cultivate Catering, Photo Booth by theFotobus.co, ice cream from The Mobile Scoop, Video by AJ Pastor Productions, and Hair & Makeup by Anny Chow Bridal.
