Michelle and Max were together for something like 10 years before they chose to get married. Long relationships before marriage are a trend I’m starting to see a lot of these last couple years and I love it. People want to be sure they’ve found their true partner before making the commitment legal and I totally respect that.
This Plaza del Toro wedding was both stylish and incredibly fun. Michelle and Max got ready at The Nines Hotel in downtown Portland. They met for their first look in their hotel room and it was a perfectly intimate moment. After taking a few bridal portraits in the room we made our way to Plaza del Toro for the ceremony and reception.
Michelle and Max chose to keep their wedding intimate by inviting just 99 guests and it turned out to be the perfect number. Instead of a sit-down dinner they served a tasty assortment of filling appetizers and, of course, enough wine, beer, and cocktails to make it a true party.
Their guests danced until last call – smiles, laughter, and drinks abundant – making for a truly joyful wedding celebration.
As for me… I had a blast! Michelle and Max are two very sweet, fun, and caring humans and it was such an honor to capture their day.
