Flight of Fancy // Jenny & Allen

These two flew all the way from Chicago for a little Pacific Northwest adventuring. They hung off bridges, rolled in the grass, tramped through the woods, crab walked in the alley, browsed at Powells, coffee-ed at Stumptown, and pillow-fought at the Ace. Very stoked for their October Polish/Filipino bash...



















The future bride's makeup was done by none other than Nadia, of Nadia Artistry!

Canta, Corazón // the party

Remember Karin and Ed? They're my sister Hannah's in-laws, owners of the cuddle-worthy photo albums debuted in a certain forest TGIH shoot a few weeks ago, the same couple approaching 40 years of marriage in the dandy anniversary invitations from a while back.

Suffice it to say their anniversary fiesta was a huge hit, a thrilling celebration of them as a couple, their travels, their children, their friends, and the load of love that has continued to build these forty years since they were married. The party took place at a favorite local restaurant of theirs, Andina, where everyone guzzled pisco sours, tasted tapas, and laughed and danced the night away in South American style.

Hannah and I got a wee bit carried away with the decorations... the travel theme was just too much! We filled my vintage tin collection with Karin's favorite dahlias and cluttered each table with our own vintage maps, books, globes, cameras, and trinkets. The party favor was a mix cd of latin favorites, and every guest signed their name on a framed poster we designed.

Browse on for some marital and party-down inspiration.
