Portland Wedding Photographer | Danny & Megan’s Bright, Sunny Backyard Wedding (+ camping after party)

Pulling into my driveway at 3 am the night after Danny & Megan’s wedding, I thought to myself, “I bet it’s still going on.” By “it” I was referring to Megan & Danny’s reception. The bride and groom had the genius idea of inviting all their loved ones to camp after the wedding on the clean cut lawn of their wedding venue: a gorgeous private Ridgefield estate. So after Danny & Megan swapped vows, kissed and traveled down the aisle as the sun was just dipping under the trees, friends pulled out their REI gear and went to work setting up their tents. This simple idea- a wedding after party camp- made the celebration go on for hours. People didn’t want to stop dancing. They couldn’t stop. Hands seesawed in the air, and heads were stylishly thrown back and bopped side to side. And Megan & Danny spent their first hours as husband and wife in each other’s arms dancing under a blanket of stars. Megan & Danny, thank you for being absolute rock stars. ♥ Chantal
Now go turn up your speakers and watch Danny & Megan’s slide show.

    Nothing against large weddings, but there’s a reason I think backyard weddings are so much fun. An intimate gathering of friends and family always makes for a good time. That definitely looks like the case here.
