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.

To me photography has never really been about how a moment looked. It's always been about how it felt to be there. Inspired by nostalgia, human connection, and the quiet in between moments that most people miss, I shoot on digital, 35mm film, and Polaroids to create something that feels timeless, warm, and entirely yours.

Hi, I'm Bri! A Wilmington, NC based wedding photographer who is genuinely obsessed with real moments, honest emotion, and the kind of photos that still give you that feeling in your chest years down the road. I document weddings, elopements, and couples with a blend of presence and ease, showing up to every single day ready to blend in, pay attention, and let your story unfold exactly as it should.

Honest, artful, and entirely yours.
