I have been so excited for this Ainsworth House wedding in Oregon City! This is hands down one of my top 5 favorite wedding venues in the Portland area.

Ainsworth House Wedding

This was such a fun and relaxed day! One of the best parts was being around a lot of familiar faces… I photographed the bride’s sister’s wedding a couple of years ago. Now they have a cute little 1 year old who made an adorable ring bearer. He’s the one being pulled in the John Deer wagon during the ceremony pics!

I started the day photographing each of them getting ready, and then they opted for a first look. After their first look the couple read their vows to each other privately. It was such a sweet moment. We took some portraits around the venue, and then we did most of the family and wedding party photos. The ceremony was held underneath the magestic old pine tree, which is such a picturesque spot. After cocktail hour and dinner, they danced the night away indoors.
