Lev & Kate

Incredibly sweet, soft-spoken, and present, Lev and Kate celebrated with a small group of family and friends. Besides the storm that swept through the valley and we all watched approach during dinner, what I’ll remember most was the fun, packed cocktail hour on the balcony following the ceremony. I had to wade through people having the greatest time and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Just like this one, the best cocktail hours are away from the ceremony and reception sites, packed tight like a bee hive, and filled with people who would gladly trade a little bit of personal space for the chance to reconnect with the fun people around them.

The Crag Rat Hut

The Crag Rat Hut, surrounded by apple country and with one of the best Mt Hood views around, is one of my favorite ways to be outside on a wedding day.
