Hoyt Arboretum Intimate Wedding

filed in:

Hoyt Arboretum is one of the most magical spots for an intimate wedding just minutes from Portland, Oregon. With just a short walk down to the Redwood Deck, you can say your vows surrounded by magical trees.

Jeanette + Morgan’s intimate wedding was something out of a movie (Twilight fans, hello!). We had a perfectly rainy day (which cleared up RIGHT before the ceremony) which allowed for some of that PNW fog to roll into the area. After their quick ceremony, they celebrated with their friends and family with champagne and first dances. After, we ran around taking photos for a bit before they headed out for Mexican food with their party.
