New paint job, courtesy of Forest For the Trees!
Our West-facing wall got a major upgrade last week when 2 incredible artists made it their canvas as part of the Forest For the Trees art project. Ola Volo and Zach Yarrington created a stunning homage to a phrase that is near and dear to the heart of our building: 'Nothing Good Comes Easy'. Huge thank you to Ola, Zach, and Gage Hamilton, the man behind the Forest.

Oregon Bride Magazine 'Insta Faves'
Gotta love the 'Selfie Station' our Megan Adams created for last weekend's U/P couple. Excited that it's getting some love from Oregon Bride Magazine!
Seismic upgrade
We recently completed a major seismic upgrade on our building, which means we are now fully retrofitted, should that 'big one' ever hit. We also had a new sidewalk poured, built a new deck and bench, and replaced the front wood wall and 'sunken living room floor' while we were at it.
It was a long road to get here, and a challenge to pull off the massive job in the midst of wedding season, but we are proud to share that we have made it through the process!

Junebug weddings feature
This wedding was a big undertaking for our friend S.Major, one of Portland's premier wedding planners and florists. It was clearly well worth all the effort of Stephanie and the rest of the killer crew as you can see from this feature on Junebug!

Union/Pine wedding
Love Wins
'No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
The judgement of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed.
It is so ordered.'
- Justice Anthony Kennedy
Rock N Roll Bride feature
It is our favorite thing to see how couples take our space and really make it THEIRS, and Lacey and Paco embraced that freedom in such perfect ways. So happy to see this wedding featured a second time - this one on the very cool Rock n Roll Bride.
30 Days of Vendors
Thank you to our friends at Champagne Wedding Coordination for highlighting us on 30 Days of Vendors!
Our favorite quote from the interview :
Champagne: Best tip you have for couples planning their wedding?
Summer: Patrick and I are planning our own wedding right now, so I can speak from that perspective for the first time: take it all in stride. Start early, but don’t stress out about tackling it all right away. Chip a little bit off of the list every few weeks, and have fun with it together. The planning process is a huge bonding experience, so use it as an excuse to practice not stressing out together when you absolutely could be.
