Going through Tessa & Stephen’s wedding photos just makes me tear up all over again. It was one of the hottest days I can remember experiencing in Oregon - the sun was literally burning through the top of my black oxfords to my toes. But the heat definitely didn’t take away from the sentiment and calmness that their wedding day held. Tessa & Stephen made sure their guests were comfortable (and cute for photos!) by providing their guests with colorful paper fans and umbrellas. You can tell just by looking through the photos, how kind and caring Tessa & Stephen are. The wedding took place at their Aunt & Uncle’s house with the ceremony in a beautiful grassy opening in the front yard. We took advantage of the big open field behind their house for sunset photos and I am still obsessed with how they turned out. They had some of the best (in my opinion!) food vendors that Portland has to offer, including Salt & Straw ice cream, Poplandia popcorn and Mint & Mirth bartending. It was definitely one of the most successful and beautiful at-home weddings I’ve ever been a part of. Take a look for yourself!

Congrats Tessa & Stephen!
