Meet Chantel and Mikey. I had the pleasure of photographing this wedding in Oregon last month. I would love to do more weddings in Oregon *wink wink* 🙂

These two were married at McMenamins Grand lodge. McMenamins in Oregon is hard for me to explain and please forgive me if I don’t have it all correct! They are breweries, and it seems as though they all used to be something freaky before they became a McMenamins. This one in Forest Grove was an old Masonic Lodge, turned nursing home, now a brewery/resort. The one in Edgefield used to be an insane asylum, and one of them in Portland used to be an elementary school. The decor matches the building’s history, which is why I included a few shots of the decor, it was so interesting. Check out those water pipes! Anyway, onto Chantel & Mike! These two have been together for 7 years, they taught english in South Korea together for a year while exploring other parts of Asia, so they incorporated a little bit of Asian flair in their decor. They got their rings on etsy, you know how I am about trees, love these rings! (Chantel is an esty lover just like myself!) I hope you enjoy the photos!

Sidenote, Mikey is in the girl’s room on the phone calling his friend to ask him to stop by their house (an hour away in PDX) and pick up the marriage license which he forgot 🙂

The charm on Chantel’s bouquet is of her best friend Melissa and her daughter who weren’t able to make it to the wedding.
