Finally, summertime! In the midst of gross weather in Portland this summer, there was this glorious sunny day in June, perfect weather for Emily and Ben’s rooftop wedding at the Ecotrust building in Portland’s Pearl District. This was the same location my husband and I chose for our wedding almost two years ago, so it’s near to my heart. It was a lovely ceremony filled with personal touches and stories about the bride and groom, who have known each other since they were in elementary school. So many of my couples have had personal friends act as officiants, and I have to say that I really love it. It makes the ceremony so personal and unique. As the sun set everyone enjoyed dinner and drinks, and a small pack of friends hit the dance floor to bring home the night…

Bride and Groom portraits are always one of my favorite parts about any wedding. The setting around the Crag Rats Hut in Hood River was just breathtaking, and we set off for the nearby orchards, Hasselblad in tow.

There was a lot of hand-wringing and sky-watching the morning of Colleen and Tim’s wedding, as we were just getting into the late May/”June-uary” weather spell that’s left most of the Pacific Northwest wondering what we did to be punished with all this rain. Both of them very much wanted to hold their ceremony in the beautiful outside gardens of the Abernethy Center, instead of inside in one of the ballrooms. At some point, everyone just had to trust that it would hold off, and what a payoff! We even had 10 minutes of lovely sun during the ceremony; just a perfect touch. After a sweet, touching ceremony (goodness, I was even tearing up!), everyone headed inside to celebrate and share the love, even as the rain started pouring down shortly after.
