I think this may be my favorite proposal to date. Location 💯, my picnic table “hideout spot” 💯, the couple 💯. I even found a dollar under my table while I waited 💯

This sweet couple has been together for 20 years and decided to celebrate with what they dubbed a “weddiversary” celebration. It was a relaxed, joy-filled evening focused on their guests, games, and good vibes.

It was also an extremely windy day, and the bride’s spectacular cloud-like dress brought so much drama in the best way possible. Everything about this celebration felt effortless, heartfelt, and full of laughter. 💕

And! Something new at The Troutdale House! The city recently cleared out some trees and now you can actually see the river right from the backyard. They’re even adding a little riverside park and walkway, which is going to make this venue even more magical.

My associate photographed this incredible wedding at Coopers Hall, and I got to join in for the last couple hours — and wow, what a night. The whole theme was pure fun: sparkle, disco, karaoke, and pink everywhere you looked. The bride wore the most amazing pink dress paired with a purple cheetah-print veil, and the groom rocked pale purple Nikes. Disco balls filled the room, and the table numbers were all themed around some the musicians of some of their fave karaoke songs.

After a bit of dancing, it turned into a full-blown karaoke party — and this crowd brought it. Even the kids were rapping without missing a word. If you know me, you know I love a good karaoke night, and I left feeling completely inspired by their talent.

The pink vintage-style cake with piped icing and cherries was a showstopper, the late-night chicken tenders and fries were perfection, and every detail was so them. Such a fun, joy-filled night with an incredible vendor team making it all happen.
