A Rooftop Wedding

I’m loving the casual and fun vibe I get when looking at these gorgeous photos from Ben Blood. The couple, Liz and Jeff, got married at the unique event space Ecotrust in Portland. A sweet ceremony on the rooftop followed by a simple pizza reception…

Yay! another short dress wedding bride. I’m getting married here in NYC in May in a short dress. This reminds me how cute yet elegant it can look :-) I love the simplicity of this wedding and the photography is wonderful.

What hotel is that? Is it local (Portland)? We are getting married at the EcoTrust this August and are looking for some hotels other than the Ace (normally awesome but they’re beds are like concrete).

Thanks! Lovely wedding!

Totally in love with the bride’s look from head to toe! She is so cute, and that dress is amazing. I’ll be using her as inspiration if I ever get married again.
