Portland, OR Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Grace and Michael love Oregon. These former East Coasters chose to say their vows at the View Point Inn to share with their family and friends why they’ve fallen in love with their new home state. As if Mother Nature knew it was her time to shine, their wedding day could not have been more profoundly Pacific Northwestern. There was the rain in the morning, followed by sunshine in the afternoon, followed by hail in the evening and then giving way to a magnificent sunset. Grace and Michael, here’s to a lifetime of happiness, shared joy and adventure!
Grace’s friend and bridesmaid Anja made their wedding cake. It is truly the most beautiful cake I’ve ever seen!
Yaaay!!! Just married:)
The rain held off until about 10 minutes after the ceremony ended. The timing was perfect!
Once the rain stopped, Grace, Micheal, and I took off to do some photos at the Women’s Forum….
That’s the View Point Inn just over their shoulder…
We also did some photos at Crown Point Vista House. A spectacular view of the Gorge!
This is the rain/hail storm that passed through right after dinner…
The weather cleared up just in time for the sunset…
Grace changed into a traditional Chinese wedding dress for their first dance…
Her sister Christine sang their first dance song…
Good times:)
Michael + Grace = Love. Congrats, you two!

Darling Grace-
My little Hero has grown into one of the most beautiful, striking young women I have ever known. I am so sorry not to have been able to share in your most glorious day as you did in mine. But my thoughts, prayers and blessings go with you and Michael as you venture forth into a wonderful new life together. “…love is not love which alters when it alteration findes, or bends with the remover to remove. o no, it is an ever fixed marke that lookes on tempests and is never shaken…..” William Shakespeare
Our love to you both…..Kathleen, Kent and Alex
Dear Grace and Michael,
I found myself wiping tears away as I looked through the pictures. Every picture captured the joy in everyone’s hearts. I can only imagine the mountain of tissues that I would have used if I was there! Thank you for sharing them.
Love and Best Wishes,
Linda Wallace
