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.

The rains again held off and it was a beautiful afternoon for Mandy and Brad’s wedding. The day was full of sweet, meaningful moments – from Mandy’s father officiating the ceremony at their church in Portland, to hearing details of how Nebraska-raised Brad fell for good country girl Mandy. A pilot, Brad has a great love for old airplanes, so the Pearson Air Museum in Ft. Vancouver, the oldest operating air field in the U.S., was a perfect choice for their reception.

One of my favorite bridal portraits…

Brad’s Dad was convinced to showcase some accordion stylings!

I’m continually drawn to children at weddings…they have a beautiful sense of awe and wonder for the bride and the groom. The kids at this event definitely thought Mandy looked like a princess.

The look on this little boy’s face just kills me…how adorable!

That’s an airplane engine!

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.
