Mike and Heather's day was full of fun, and FULL! OF! GORGEOUSNESS!!! They were up for every idea we threw at them, and I'm just giddy as a schoolgirl with the images Amber and I were able to capture! (Thank you SO much as always, Amber, for being my faithful and crazy-talented side-kick for the day!)
Here's a glimpse of their day, which started at the salon...
I wanted to take these two home with me. I kid you not! SUCH sweet cousins:
The light in the salon was phenomenal, what with the ginormous street windows, the stainless counters, and the wall of mirrors... It was photography heaven:
We had some time to kill before the limo came, so I talked the girls into strolling through Portland's Pearl District for a bit to have some fun. I told them it was a warm-up. ;0) These ended up being a few of my favs from the day:
The bridesmaids were hilarious. Normally, the groomsmen are the jokesters, but these girls could give them a run for their money! I think it had something to do with Heather's sis/Matron of Honor... ;0)
After our stroll through the Pearl District, we were off to Abigail's Garden at the Abernethy Center in Oregon City...
A few pre-ceremony shots:
I had a Monet watercolor poster on the wall in my college dorm room back in the day, and this reminds me a bit of it with the gorgeous, almost liquid-quality light flickering behind the gazebo:
Heather was radiant:
This is one I just keep coming back to... The soft back light of the sunset is absolutely dreamy:
Ceremony time:
Like I said in the first post, I looooved how the wedding party danced out! It was pure awesomeness. In my humble opinion, the Best Man and Matron of Honor were particularly awesome:
Everybody dance-walked their way right into the reception:
We grabbed a few more portraits before the sun went to bed:
And then the dancing began...
And then they were off to honeymoon:
Mike and Heather, thank you again for the great honor of capturing your wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you!
