A Beautiful Lakeside Wedding at Portland’s Lakeside Gardens

As a wedding photographer, there are few venues as stunning as Lakeside Gardens in Portland, Oregon. Nestled by a serene lake with lush gardens surrounding it, this location provides the perfect blend of natural beauty and elegance. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a couple’s unforgettable day here, and it truly reaffirmed why it’s one of Portland’s most sought-after wedding venues. From the intimate lakeside ceremony to the vibrant garden reception, every detail was perfectly set against the backdrop of cascading trees and reflective waters. As a Portland wedding photographer, it's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do — telling a couple’s story through authentic, timeless images.

The day began with an emotional first look by the water, where the couple exchanged a  vows joined by their friends and family for the ceremony. The soft sunlight filtering through the trees created a magical glow, and I was able to capture breathtaking portraits of the couple along the water’s edge. After the ceremony, we wandered through the gardens for a relaxed, yet incredibly romantic photo session that included lush greenery and pops of color from the blooming flowers. I always make it a priority to make my couples feel at ease, so the photo session was full of natural moments and laughter, which translated into authentic and stunning images.
