Portland Oregon Temple Wedding

December in Oregon is wet, moody, and GREEN. Elissa and Chandler’s wedding day was an adventure between last minute location changes and random downpours but despite the minor obstacles it couldn’t have been more perfect. We woke up before the sun to drive across town to Hoyt Arboretum to kick off their wedding day with some portraits. We had originally planned to drive to the gorge for these photos but after looking at the weather we decided to wing it and head to the forest instead.

After bridals we headed back to the house where everyone was getting ready to start taking bridal party photos before we headed to the temple. The moment we went outside to start photos it started POURING rain! We quickly decided to wait till after the temple ceiling to get out bridal party shots and hope for some dry weather.

After adjusting our plans and going with it we were all so thankful the day panned out the way it did. Our bridal location was unreal. We found the perfect spot for bridal party photos at the temple. And the rain let up when it mattered most. Elissa and Chandler’s day really couldn’t have been any more dreamy and we were able to take what looks like a normal rainy Oregon day and make it look like a dream.
