Michael and Irish

Mount Tabor, Portland

Enjoy this emotional and joyous wedding day story.

The views from Mt. Tabor stay with me every time I look at this gallery. Michael and Irish first connected by an online dating app. Irish was living in the Philippines and Michael called Portland his home. But there was this, true connection there between them. They knew one another for quite a while before admitting how truly made for one another they were. 

The results are truly filled with that love. You saw how important this was to both of them. How long they both waited to find someone who was truly made for them. Finding one another was kismet in ways, but it was destiny in others. I firmly believe the two are connected on a soul level and you'll feel this in the photographs. 

There was a moment where Irish was surprised with a videochat live of her family who couldn't be there...she went up to me instead of Michael and gave me the biggest wrap around hug. 

 I've known Michael for over ten years now. Being his photographer was a core memory for me. Seeing my friends find their true love as a wedding photographer is truly special to me.
