Eco-Friendly Wedding at Irving Street Studio in Portland, OR

Eco-Friendly Wedding at Irving Street Studio in Portland, OR
October 6th, 2023

Sara and Sean’s wedding took place at the eco-conscious Irving Street Studio in Portland, OR—a venue known for its industrial charm and commitment to sustainability. The venue’s unique blend of modern architecture and environmental mindfulness perfectly matched the couple’s values and vision for their big day.

Sara got ready at a charming Old Portland rental home just a few miles from the venue, while Sean prepped in a high-rise studio. With creative freedom to choose the first look location, I discovered a hidden gem just a few blocks away—a park with a striking undulating steel fence. The vibrant fall foliage and peaceful surroundings made it the perfect spot for an intimate first look and a quiet moment before the ceremony.

The ceremony, officiated by Sara’s mentor, was short, sweet, and surrounded by the lush floral design by Colibri PDX, which complemented and elevated the natural beauty of the venue's industrial brick.

For a fun twist on tradition, Sara and Sean opted to share a heart-shaped churro, provided by Churros Locos, instead of a traditional cake cutting. The sweet treat perfectly matched their laid-back vibe and added a personal touch.

The evening ended with an epic dance party, where their friend Matson the DJ played all their favorite songs, filling the dance floor with energy and joy.

Sara and Sean’s wedding was a celebration of love, sustainability, and creativity. The day was filled with thoughtful details, personal touches, and unforgettable moments. I was so honored to be a part of their special day!
