Aaron & Maia | backyard wedding | Portland, OR.

.

This was my favorite wedding of 2016. Am I allowed to say that? It's just that I LOVE an intimate backyard wedding. I LOVE September weddings. And I love Maia & Aaron. From the very beginning, our relationship was effortless, often meeting for wine or dinner to discuss the details of their day. Being high school sweethearts, their love was rooted deep, lending itself to a wedding day that was just as relaxed as it was emotional. There wasn't a dry eye during the ceremony and because of the less rigorous schedule, we had plenty of time to wander the property and take portraits. Guests traveled from all over the world to spend a few days with them in this vacation rental south of Oregon City. It was the perfect backdrop for such an occassion. Congrats to these two lovebirds!

Special thanks to Helen Bernard Bakery for the cake and to Deb at Wilfs Resturant and Bar for single handedly cooking up a storm. Everything was delicious!

I loved Maia & Adam's wedding at Mt. View Orchards for so many reasons: It was small, there was iced coffee served at the ceremony because it took place at 11:00 AM, the mountain views were amazing, pears and apples were abundantly hanging from the orchard trees, Maia's unique dress was handmade by a dressmaker in Portland, Maia and Adam did a first look (yes!) and family pictures before the ceremony (double yes!), they are so SO happy together, and as a reception they had the most casual house party at home in NE Portland full of yard games, takeout pizza, and dancing! Congrats you two!
