Susannah & Neil were two of the first people that I met when I moved to Portland. They own a wonderful art gallery called Antler located in Northeast Portland in the Alberta Arts District. It reminded me a lot of Studio&Gallery in Durango, CO., except with a darker, nature-centric tone. They are SO friendly and easy to talk to. Scott and I found ourselves attending every one of their openings. I was so grateful to be their wedding photographer because they told me from the very beginning that they weren't very traditional and borderline cynical when it came to weddings. They just wanted to do it their way which meant a small number of guests, a black wedding dress, and in the winter when life feels slow. When I heard this I said, "I have to be your photographer!" We were a perfect fit and although the rain was relentless and the daylight waning, it was the perfect intimate evening. I'd love to come back and photograph another wedding at the Leach Botanical Garden in SE Portland. It was so lush and felt like a cozy cabin in the woods far away from the city. It was magical. Happy anniversary Susannah & Neil!
