Portland, Oregon Elegant Backyard Wedding

Backyard weddings are the definition of personal event. It is a one of a kind way to have your wedding celebration at home in familiar settings that hold a special meaning and where every space is filled with memories that were created with you and your loved ones . From a photographer’s perspective, we love the laidback feeling of weddings that don’t take place at wedding venues. There is a bit of a slower pace and an ease to the day. We find that it lends a cozy homey feeling to the whole event and our couples are more go with the flow. On the other hand, we do recommend having a timeline of the day that is clearly communicated with all the important guests to make sure the day unfolds as smoothly and without delays.

This elegant backyard wedding took place at the bride’s childhood home. The celebration was held in the backyard where the couple got married under a pergola while their guests looked on at tables tastefully and decorated with candles and flower arrangements. It was a beautiful wedding that we really enjoyed documenting. Here are some of the captures from this day.
