{ Leftbank Annex | Portland, OR }
Before my husband and I moved to Ohio from Oregon, I had Kim and Paul’s Portland wedding on the books. I was missing old friends and the dreamy greens of the Pacific Northwest, so this wedding totally hit the spot!
After getting ready at an adorable Airbnb, the wedding party headed over to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens , a gorgeous oasis in the middle of Portland that I somehow missed the whole time I lived in the area! Paul and Kim shared their first look there and then we took our sweet time exploring the area and photographing the rest of their wedding party.
The ceremony took place at the Leftbank Annex and was beautifully officiated by Paul’s sister… after that, things got crazy.
Coming from a large and extended Vietnamese family, Kim told us that a few hundred extra guests would be arriving for the reception, as Vietnamese weddings don’t traditionally include a ceremony. She was right, and the party arrived right on time! We had a blast documenting this multicultural reception with Kim, Paul, and their families, and feel like we got a glimpse into how they do weddings in the Vietnamese culture…( to summarize… they know how to have a good time!) 😉
I’ve loved getting to document Paul and Kim’s love story- from engagement photos through wedding- it’s clear how much they love, respect, and just enjoy eachother! So glad we could play a part in documenting this epic day.
Lastly, I can’t forget to mention some of these amazing vendors who brought Kim’s vision to life, and made our jobs such a breeze!
