lance + lauren // married | abernethy center {portland wedding photography}

well, it’s been about 6 months of weddings and other sessions since i’ve managed to blog anything - but i’m finally able to share what i’ve been up to here! first up is Lance and Lauren’s romantic wedding in Abigail’s Garden at the Abernethy Center.

It was a gorgeous May evening wedding, so lush and green! Lauren and her mom put together the most lovely decor - deep blue chevron table runners with gold accents and candles beautifully set off the shades of pink in the florals by Arranged For You.

Lance and Lauren’s love story has been a journey with ups and downs and they’ve made it through together, and built a strong family with their sweet son Grayson. Many of their friends and family gave emotional and heartfelt toasts that truly expressed just how loved and supported these two are. It’s been so fun reliving Lauren and Lance’s wedding day to make this post. Wishing them so much happiness!!!

i spent a wonderful snowy afternoon in February with Heather and Jamie for their engagement session! we had a great time - they were such troopers (it was obviously cooooold), and we all managed not to fall over too much tromping in the snow. can't wait for their wedding this fall at Zenith Vineyard - it's so fun to have such a contrast between the snowy engagement session and the lush greenery of a vineyard wedding.
