This Lake Oswego wedding had lots of family and friends a part of it! Shannon had all of her nephews carry a puzzle piece with a message on it down the aisle and one got to be the ring security! The rain was off and on all day, but it cleared for the ceremony and a double rainbow came out shortly after. I love that they were willing to go outside in the rain and take some night photos with me! I think they are some of the best photos from the day!! The Foundry at Oswego Pointe is an amazing venue to get married out, there are lots of awesome places to take pictures all within walking distance!

They have a large backyard with some cool elements, so they decided to have their wedding in their backyard. It’s not very often a backyard wedding has such cool areas to take pictures and a big enough area for tables and a dance floor! Their adorably cute bulldog was their ring bearer and they had a bagpiper playing before the ceremony and while Erica walked down the aisle! Since they are both in the landscape field and have a farm looking area in their backyard, we decided to do the old farmer and wife photo. 🙂 Erica plays the piano and Tom used to play the drums in school, so the band let them get up and play a song with them. I thought that was pretty awesome! Fred’s Flowers did an amazing job on the flowers! They had a small cake from Sugarlips Cakery and some donuts from Bosa Donuts for dessert!

They mixed their Philippine traditions with a Catholic Ceremony at Corpus Christi Catholic Parish, then we headed over to MCRD Bayview Restaurant for their reception. I loved the touch of palm leaves in the decorations! L.V from Odineva Events + Designs did an amazing job coordinating the wedding and making sure everything ran as it should. Prestge Audio & Entertainment kept the dance floor and party hopping all night!!

They had their modern wedding at Wedgewood Fallbrook! They chose a gorgeous venue with lots of photo opportunities! They love dancing and so did most of their guests. I thought it was fun that they started their first dance as a slow song and then broke out into a fun fast paced dance!

Erica and Rob had an awesome Spring Wedding at San Marcos Crowne Plaza!! I loved the light spring type colors of the flowers and their converse shoes! Sue Jacobs Cakes made a gorgeous cake for their reception! They wanted a simple wedding where friends and family could come together and celebrate with them and that is exactly how the day went, lots of fun!

They met in Rocky Point on one of David’s many trips there. David only spoke English and Irma only spoke Spanish. They both loved dancing which is what brought them together. In the beginning, they would type what they wanted to say on an iPad and have it translate for them until they could both learn a new language. Several years later they decided to have an elegant outdoor wedding at The Secret Garden. They only went inside to dance. They had their final dance while everyone was getting lined up for the sparkler exit, I love this idea! It gives you a peaceful moment at the end of the night to take in the moment!

Alyssa is from Vista originally and moved to New Jersey for school where she met John. So they decided to have the wedding at Optimist Club of Vista. Their favors were little bottles of tequila and Jameson whiskey, one bottle from each of their heritages. They wanted their wedding to be one big party and 17st Studios did an awesome job keeping the party going and the dance floor full! John is 7 feet tall, so it is actually a joke for people to get together and pick him up. It was fun watching them try and some attempt to do it!
