Carrie and Jayson had a great wedding at Portland Lan Su Chinese Garden with tons of unique details and beautiful weather. It started with a great getting ready time at Benson Hotel (amazing light as you will see) and then proceeded for the ceremony and reception to Portland Lan Su Classical Chinese Gardens.
They had moon cakes as well as wedding cake, a great band, and great food from Typhoon Thai Food Restaurant. C&J set up a table decorated with wedding favors (chopsticks and take-out boxes filled with goodies) in front of their parents and grandparents wedding pictures. During the wedding ceremony, a hummingbird paid a visit to the gazebo as you will see later in the pictures!
During the cake cutting, Carrie achieved a record by smashing cake on two “grooms”. When they were ready to cut the cake, Jayson was nowhere to be found – after waiting for a while, Jayson’s brother stepped in to cut the cake, and promptly got smashed by cake in the face. When Jayson arrived, his fate was similar. You can check it out on the next pages. (Guests and friends of Carrie and Jayson can see the rest of images here – password from Carrie and Jayson)

Evrim these are GORGEOUS!
I especially like the horizontal dining image with the blue sky and round lanterns glowing, the humming bird shot, the reflection on the water photo, and of course, that last dance pic…I really like how you captured the beauty of the scene and the joy of the people.
