Portland Winter Wedding at St. Michael's Lutheran Church | Abby + Darryl

Silk, Protea, and a Dog in a Floral Crown: Valley Ford Hotel Wedding
Lara is a designer, and it showed in every single corner of this wedding. From the blush silk gown to the moody protea arrangements to a dog in a eucalyptus crown delivering the rings, this day at the Valley Ford Hotel was intentional, beautiful, and completely them.
