Evelini and Andy’s Rehearsal Dinner, August 14th 2009

After photographing Evelini and Andy’s rehearsal dinner, I’m totally in love with the idea of documenting this very important and intimate part of the wedding celebration. What a wonderful and relaxed way to get to know the couple and their wedding party! Evelini and Andy’s rehearsal dinner was hosted by Evelini’s lovely mother, Mafi, and was held at her home in Happy Valley, Oregon. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple enjoyed an amazing Polynesian feast as a way to celebrate Evelini’s Polynesian background. It was a beautiful evening and Lincoln and I were very honored to be there to document it. Please stay tuned for photos of Evelini and Andy’s wedding at Stonehedge in Hood River, Oregon!
