Portland, Oregon Wedding in the Woods | Amanda + Taylor

Oh these two. When a couple truly puts a lot of thought into the personal details of their big day, it makes it that much more special. Before they knew anything, they knew their wedding date would be on a full moon. They found a Saturday in the summer that was perfect, with a big full moon that popped up low in the sky at the end of their wedding night. Full moons are special to Amanda and Taylor. They make time every month of the full moon for a special date together. (So why WOULDN’T they get married on a full moon too!?). Next, the green bus. They wanted a shuttle for their friends to get to the wedding venue, but it *had* to be green! Taylor proposed to Amanda with a green vehicle! It was in the South of France. They rented a lime green dune-buggy through crazy, windy roads around the French Alps… and arrived at a tiny church on a hill. Amanda was trying to frame a great insta-pic, when Taylor dropped to one knee out of no where! After the question was popped, and the “Yes” was said, they drove to a more private spot for a picnic out of a wicker basket and promptly downed warm champagne. “It was awesome” they said! Finally, the venue. After going back and forth on a few different ideas, they both knew that they wanted their big day to be focused on the celebration with friends and family. Amanda’s cousin’s property was the perfect spot. It was remote, personal, in the woods, and just outside of Portland where they live. The whole day was a lot of fun and so is this duo! It’ll be exciting to see where life leads them next! Congrats you two!
