Last year about this time I met up with Alison & Erin for engagement photos. I totally fell in love with these two that day. Their dynamic is so fun, loving and awesome to capture with a camera. Erin’s silly faces, Alison’s giggle, I just adore these two. So when the big day rolled around last month I was really looking forward to it.

The wedding was held at one of my favorite venues in NE Portland. Decorated to celebrate the couple’s love of the outdoors and combined with some traditional naval flags to honor Erin’s service for our country. You will also notice a certain “stuffed family heirloom” making an appearance in some of the photos. It’s a long story, but it made the night even more fun. Seeing the mixture of both of their out of town families, and in town friends was wonderful too. Clearly everyone was overjoyed for these ladies, and their love for each-other. It was hard to not just smile the entire day.

Venue: McMenamen’s Kennedy Schoold

Planning & Floral: Your Perfect Bride’s Maid

Alison’s Dress: David’s Bridal

Erin’s  suit: United States Navy

There is no doubt about it, I adore Rachelle & Courtney.

You might remember two from their super fun engagement session last year. Since then I have had a ton of fun getting to know these two. They are truly two beautiful  ladies inside & out. They brought fun, joy, entertainment, and love to every inch of their wedding planning. When the big day finally came around  a few weeks ago. and it was nothing short of magical. Being that these two met in the acapella music scene it was only fitting the day was extremely musical as well. I kind of felt like I scored a ticket to a really amazing show during the reception. So many talented people in one room, celebrating the best thing of all, love.

There was so much joy that day, from Courtney’s face when she saw Rachelle for the first time, to Rachelle’s sparkling smile  matching the end of the night fireworks. I had so much fun at this one, I think I smiled the entire way home

Here are a few of my many favorites from the day…
