Eeliyana & Mike

The Armory

Portland, Oregon Wedding

 

When I think back on this warm August day, I can’t help but get the biggest smile on my face! This wedding was just SO MUCH FUN! Seriously my cheeks were hurting at the end of the night from the constant smiling I did all day! Eeliyana and Mike let me know way ahead of time that they planned on having a PARTY and man they did not disappoint! They have that kind of love that is so carefree and lighthearted it kept everyone energized and happy all day long. It was such a pleasure to celebrate with their family and friends! Honestly there were SO MANY amazing photos from this wedding it was really hard to narrow it down for a blog post. Make sure you keep scrolling t0 see this couple’s first dance photos cause it was the coolest first dance ever!

    These are THE best wedding photos I’ve ever seen. The Eatons were my neighbors about 9 years ago, and it’s great to see Mikey have such an amazing wedding. The photography is super amazing in all aspects. When my sons marry, I wanna hire YOU!
