Portland Rose Garden Wedding - Rachael and Jon

Rachael and Jon got married on one of the hottest days this summer. Because they're super-sweet and laid back, they immediately regrouped and came up with an indoor plan for most of the group photos so that their loved ones could spend as much time in the air conditioning as possible. However, they were happy to sacrifice their own comfort, so they let me drag them out in the heat for their bride and groom portraits. And I'm SO glad they did! It's so much easier to be playful and twirl outdoors! Rachael, Jon, and their friends are also very enthusiastic members of the Timbers Army, so we also busted out some scarves on this crazy hot day!

Rex Hill Winery Proposal

Let me just be real honest. I love getting in on awesome secrets. It's the coolest. When Zack contacted me, asking me to help make his marriage proposal to Anna perfect, I had to stop myself from screaming into the phone. Because, getting to watch someone propose is freaking awesome. Especially if you know how much thought and care he put into planning it. On that note, big shout out to Karen at Rex Hill Winery for helping with the planning too. She made sure our plan went perfectly, and was super-fun to work with! PS - She said yes!!  PPS - Isn't Anna the cutest!?! I can't wait to see their wedding photos!
