Some weddings just have that thing, and Brandi and Brit’s at Union/Pine was absolutely one of them! They drove down from Tacoma because they love Portland, and as soon as they saw the venue, they knew it was the one. And honestly? Perfect choice.

Their dog was part of the ceremony, and not just in a watch from the sidelines way—this pup showed up in a tiny tux and owned the moment. I’ve seen a lot of good wedding details, but a well-dressed dog is always a top-tier decision.

Every once in a while, I get completely taken aback at a wedding, and this was one of those times. The love in that room was palpable—like, you could reach out and touch it. And Brandi and Brit? Their faces glowed with it. It was the kind of moment where you just have to pause and take it all in because it’s so, so good.

They incorporated a beautiful Native American blessing and a blanket ritual, officially welcoming them together as a family. It was emotional, powerful, and one of those moments where everyone is just there—fully present, no distractions, completely locked into the love surrounding them.

And then the party! Pearl Catering brought the most amazing food, and once Brandi and Brit hit the dance floor, there was no turning back. The energy was unreal, people went all in, and this crew did not come to play when it came to celebrating!

An absolutely incredible day for two incredible people. Brandi and Brit, you nailed it!
