Blockhouse Wedding Photos
Eleanor and Neil’s Blockhouse wedding photos capture the warmth and intimacy of their day in the heart of Portland’s Pearl District. The couple, who first met at summer jobs six years ago, have been inseparable ever since—even through a long-distance chapter that made their eventual life together in the Pacific Northwest even more meaningful. Originally from Arizona and New Jersey, they fell in love with Oregon’s lush landscapes and spend their time camping, hiking, and enjoying board games and watching basketball.
