Oaks Pioneer Church
This tiny church is one of my favorite places in Portland for a tiny wedding. It’s super small and intimate, but the stained glass, big chandeliers, and beautiful light streaming through the big windows make it feel very stately and grand. And Sellwood Park, only a short block away, always provides beautiful opportunities for lovely photos with the happy couple. So I was delighted when Aaron and Kacie called about photography for their small autumn wedding. . .
Sally and Ben had one of the most intimate wedding ceremonies I’ve ever been a part of - I was not only the photographer, but one of their two witnesses as well. And that was it - two witnesses, the happy couple, and their officiant, my lovely friend Maureen Haley. Like me, Sally and Ben love how simultaneously grand and intimate Oaks Pioneer Church in Sellwood is, so they made plans to have their elopement ceremony there on a lovely Tuesday evening. After a very heartfelt ceremony, we took some portraits in the church and in Sellwood Park, just down the street. It was a really lovely and special event, and I was so happy to be a part of it!
Finally - my last wedding of the 2017 wedding season, and what a beauty! Abbie + Matt had a lovely, intimate, family-centered wedding ceremony at Oaks Pioneer Church in Sellwood, and then a casual gathering of close family and friends at the nearby Corkscrew Wine Bar. Spending the day with this adorable family was a great way to close out a fantastic year! I love the stained glass and big windows in the church, and Sellwood Flower Co. did an amazing job on floral arrangements and bouquets that looked and smelled just gorgeous. And Sandy Shipley of Sage Creative performed a lovely ceremony that included the couple's family - so unique and special. . .
