Tim och Molly träffade varandra 2015 efter att Molly flyttat till Portland från New York. Deras första date var en lång hike på vad som skulle komma att bli ett av deras favoritställen. Naturen har alltid spelat en stor roll för paret. När Tim friade, så gjorde han det efter en fem dagar lång campingresa med månen som deras enda sällskap. När de planerade sitt bröllop kändes det därför mer än självklart att deras stora dag skulle präglas av naturens skönhet.

Bara veckor innan bröllopet gick av stapeln förlorade Molly sin yngre syster Sally. Eftersom Mollys familj bor på utspridda platser, tyckte paret att det skulle vara en fin idé att hålla bröllopet trots tragedin och på så sätt kunna samla nära och kära för att kunna sörja tillsammans. Istället för att det blev en dag av bara firande för ett nytt kapitel, blev det även en fin stund för hela familjen att få minnas Sally tillsammans. Elissa Deline Photography har fångat dagen på bild, och tillsammans med ord från Tim och Molly får vi idag ta del av deras bröllop.

Så träffades paret

Like many people in the 21st century, we met online. We were drawn together by a shared enthusiasm for the outdoors. One of our first dates was a rigorous hike in the Columbia River Gorge, and it has continued to be a source of happiness for us both. Most of our trips involve camping, hiking or backpacking of some kind. Appropriately, Tim proposed at the end of a five-day long camping trip through the remote Oregon Outback - a week of desert playas, frigid nights, secluded hot springs, and more than one flat tire. He surprised Molly on the final night with a room at Timberline Lodge. We went for an evening walk above the timberline, and he proposed under the full moon (and a headlamp).

Tim: Molly is a landscape designer and plant nerd, so the flowers were a big priority. Bloomsbury worked with her to capture her vision and even brought her out to their flower farm in nearby Stevenson. Molly really wanted to use unexpected materials, like fruits and grasses, as well as the traditional flowers. This gave the arrangements an authentically 'wild' feel, and showcased the native flora of the area.
The floral arch really took our breath away. It might have been Molly's favorite part. As it happened, our ceremony took place during an intense windstorm. Flowers were flying out of the arch and into the audience as we spoke our vows. It was quite a lively ceremony - we all had a good laugh.

Inspiration till bröllopet

We're both very outdoorsy people. The thing we love most about the Pacific Northwest is the stunning natural beauty and easy access to nature + wilderness. We chose our venue to share that beauty with our friends + family from afar. Molly had a vision of running barefoot through a wild meadow. That concept coalesced into the folksy, wildflower-centric theme. We wanted things to be refined, but unfussy.
Neither of us are religious, but we have a deep love of traditions and rituals. One family tradition from Molly's family was a ceremonial whiskey shot. In good times, and bad, our family shares an "Angel's Whisper" - about 1/4 of a shot accompanied by an emphatic toast. Despite it being rather unorthodox, we loved the idea of bringing this tradition into our ceremony. It holds a lot of personal meaning, and it was a lot of fun!

Dekorationer & DIY

Drawing from our theme, we chose a lot of elements that fit into the pastoral feel of the venue. Wildflower bouquets. Corrugated tin buckets, rustic farm tables + chairs, and a 1953 flatbed truck converted into a mobile bar. The folk trio - fiddle centric folk music - provided a perfect ambiance to our cocktail hour, where guests played lawn games and drank custom whiskey cocktails & local beer.

Bästa minnet från bröllopet

The dance floor was where the wedding really hit its peak. DJ Aquaman did a wonderful job of playing music that brought people of every age out to dance. This was something we really valued. We've both been at weddings where no one over the age of 25 feels comfortable dancing, and creating that fun, inclusive atmosphere was a big priority.
