Amy and Johns EcoTrust wedding was so fun. When we first met Amy and John they invited us over to their beautiful SE Portland home. When we arrived we found ourselves immersed in a full display of wine and cheese options. They wanted to help decide which wines to choose for their wedding. Our conversations went late into the night and we learned that these two have a deep passion for telling and sharing stories. Curiosity and laughter are such great traits to have and John and Amy just keep going and going and going. And we loved it.
When it came time to photograph their Portland wedding we found ourselves fitting right in and felt like lifelong friends who were recently re-discovered. We had plenty of time to plan their timeline and provide lots of space for a free-flowing day. We made time for both of them to connect before their ceremony with a walk through the Pearl District streets of Portland. We invited them into special conversations and games which focused them on each other while we focused on them.
