On a beautiful July day, Hayley woke up in her childhood home where I am sure her parents remember her giggles pouring through the halls and eating cereal at the kitchen counter. On this morning though, Portland Makeup and Hair pampered Hayley because this is also where she would be marrying the love of her life, Eddie. Before guests arrived Maxwell Monty Photography captured photos in the family's favorite spots around their home. Meanwhile, The Party Place and Something Borrowed helped to create a perfect rustic welcome area and ceremony setting for gathering and guest book signing.

After heartwarming ceremony signage by Hey Halle ushered guests to the family's’ backyard where Pearl Catering served fun cocktails, Nate Botsford of John Ross Music played acoustic guitar and views of the river made the perfect backdrop. After a quick flip, guests were invited to a newly transformed reception space of crisp white linen and gold accent centerpieces filled with white blooms and greenery from Emerald Petals. The rustic ceremony backdrop built by family turned into a fun spot to cut the stunning 3-tier cake from Lambs Market and was also a fun photo backdrop!

As the sun set the couple was toasted by those dearest to them and danced the evening away under the stars. Before the evening ended the couple had one last surprise in the Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwich cart, which was the perfect take home treat. Congratulations, Hayley and Eddie! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful things life has in store for you.

Hayley + Eddie
