knoll crest gardens sandy oregon wedding

Rain, rain, go away, unless it is your wedding day. We had just enough time to get photos done after the ceremony at Knoll Crest Gardens, before the Pacific Northwest cried tears of joy.

crystal springs rhododendron garden portland wedding

Family from Japan, celebrating with family in the U.S. in Portland OR at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. From a surprise viewing of well-wishes from friends all over the world, to the bridesmaids singing and dancing to Totoro songs, to her Dad singing them a song at evening’s end, this wedding was so full of moments of laughter, goofiness, and happy tears.

Planning and design by the always lovely and exceptionally organized CK Events. Gorgeous floral from Floral Sunshine. The getting-ready hotel, hotelled exclusively by Hotel Lucia.

Looking for other Portland garden weddings? Here’s another at Crystal Springs, one at Hoyt Arboretum, and a sweet wedding at Leach Botanical Gardens.

domaine de broglie oregon vineyard wedding

Domaine de Broglie, formerly known as Vista Hills Vineyard, never disappoints. Such beautiful sunlight on some classy, lovely people. As a side note, I thought about taking Francis Coppola’s car featured in the basement out for a spin late into the night, but decided I don’t want a horse head in my bed.

portland family backyard firehouse wedding

Sometimes the smallest celebrations are the most meaningful. These two remembered their connection from long ago, and when life happened, separating them by time and distance, love eventually brought them back together. Surrounded by their children, friends and family and after a LOT of special care to their backyard (they have such a cool house), these two honored each other and the magic that reconnected them. Firehouse gladly hosted their dinner with piles of delicious pizza and meatballs. I was so honored to be there in the middle of so much joy.
