Sarah and Michael Marriage Celebration at Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, OR
I was lucky to get to spend the day with Sarah and Michael for the second half of their wedding celebrations. The two actually were married in Sydney, Australia and were in Portland to have another party! They had a blessing service at First United Methodist Church followed by a lovely reception at Blue Sky Photography Gallery in downtown Portland (my first time at Blue Sky for a private event!). Both spaces were perfect for the occasion, filled with light and lots of smiles and laughter from friends and family. Sarah and Michael were just a delight and I was so happy to get to be a part of their day. There were a lot of hand-made details that made the day memorable to me, I really loved the bouquets and flower arrangements, put together by friends with flowers picked up just that morning at the farmer’s market, and the jars of curry powder Sarah put together for guests to take home were made using Michael’s secret family recipe, the cloth that was at the front of the blessing ceremony and on the guest book table was also hand embroidered. It was so wonderful to see this group of friends and family gather together (from all over the country, and all over the world as well) and share in the love and marriage of these two.
