Intimate Fall Packwood Wedding

About this Intimate Fall Packwood Wedding

J & J wanted to have a wedding deep in the mountains and found Packwood to be the perfect place! They fell in love with that area and have lots of memories of them riding their ATVs and going on all sorts of adventures.

They spent the morning getting ready and shared a first look with each other by the river. They had just their closest friends and family present (and their lovely furry ring bearer) for their wedding ceremony but had the venue ready with all of their other friends and family waiting for them for their reception and party afterward. It was the perfect blend of an intimate wedding and a smaller wedding.

They shared incredible food, cake, and then hit the floor for some dancing! I had such an incredible time joining these two for their intimate wedding. Congratulations again!
