Payton + Brandon
Within moments of meeting Payton + Brandon, I knew their wedding day would be one I would never forget! These two high school sweethearts have been waiting for YEARS to tie the knot (ok maybe moreso Payton) so their all-out celebration at Furioso Vineyards was the perfect way to finally join these two families and their loved ones.
Payton envisioned a stunningly classic day filled with black and white decor and bright florals from Wildflower Portland to compliment the gorgeous vineyard views of Dundee, OR. Guests were invited to dress in all black for the most sleek and elegant look, while Payton’s childhood friend (and former Bridal Bliss bride!!) Lexi, performed the most heartfelt ceremony leaving not a dry eye in the house — groomsmen I’m looking at you!
As the new Mr. and Mrs. Brooks slipped away to sign their marriage license and grab a quite bite to eat, guests enjoyed appetizers and Aperol Spritz's before sitting down for a delicious family style pizza feast provided by Wooden Heart. When the newlyweds returned, heartfelt toasts carried us into the evening before the party hit the dance floor for the remainder of the evening.
When I tell you these guys were ready to party the night away, I mean it! Strobe lights, smoke machines, and the talented DJ R Love kept the dance floor bumping all night long. When the party bus arrived to take guests to the after party, Payton made one last quick outfit change into cozy slippers and a sleet white cocktail dress for their sparkler grand exit.
It was truly the most perfect celebration for this adorable couple and I am so grateful to have been even a small part of this amazing day. Payton + Brandon, I wish you all the best in newlywed life and a lifetime of memories together— cheers to the Brooks!
XOXO, Ari
