alana + oleg // intimate forest wedding in oregon

Alana and Oleg were married in an intimate celebration at their home in the heart of the forest, on the autumnal equinox. Their loved ones blessed the wedding rings, shared words of encouragement and love, and encircled Alana, Oleg, and their daughter as they spoke their vows. Their sweet little dog Metro followed along every step of the way. The lush forest was like a fairyland, an exquisite place for this reflective, intentional wedding.

Picha and Jason got married on a very June-in-Portland day as the weather ran the gamut from bright sunshine to overcast to pouring rain! The Rose Parade was the same day which made getting a cab to the church from the hotel very difficult for Picha - she was so relieved when she arrived and I could see her nervousness melt away during their first look. Oh, and can we talk about how incredible her dress is?!

I adore weddings at Oaks Pioneer Church - the space is so intimate and beautiful and the ceremony was absolutely lovely. We wrapped up portraits just in time for the rain to start and headed over to Gino’s Restaurant for their reception - amazing food and wine, what a perfect way to celebrate with their family and friends! xx

Jess and Justin were married under a brilliant blue sky surrounded by sand and sea and loved ones. It just so happened that there was a tourist playing his ukelele near where the ceremony was to be, and he agreed to play for them. It was a beautiful and serendipitous addition to the wedding! xo
