AN INTIMATE FALL WEDDING ALONG THE PORTLAND SKYLINE UNDER ST. JOHN’S BRIDGE.

Amanda and Paul travelled across many states to come to Portland and have their intimate wedding under the St. Johns bridge in Cathedral Park.

These two truly felt like friends from the very beginning. I loved getting to know them through the moments and details that were a part of their day — the game of thrones make up brushes, Frida Kahlo patterned robes, moody romantic fall colors, stories from their high school beginnings (including a prom pic, yep, pure GOLD), the vows they said to each other on this gorgeous autumn day, and the joy in the faces of their friends and family — all pieces to their story. It was nothing short of amazing to be a part of this day!

Every moment felt effortless, they truly chose to be present in EVERY moment. Even when we arrived at the park to ANOTHER WEDDING PARTY USING THEIR CEREMONY SET UP!!! I mean, if that doesn’t trigger stress, not sure what would! But, Amanda and Paul had so much peace and grace, they chose joy over stress. And it was beautiful to watch them soak up and love every second of their beautiful wedding day! From their first look under the bridge, to an emotion-filled ceremony, to waterfront photos with the Portland skyline, to a meal celebrating their love, to getting DOWN on the dance floor — these two were so present with each part of the day.

I’m honored to share these moments with you all!
