Michelle and Ryan, McLean House, 10.19.12

Rain, Rain Go Away

I think that we used up a great load of weather karma on this day as Michelle and Ryan were married. If I remember correctly the weather forecast said, "start gathering animals two by two and build a BIG boat cause it's gonna pour", . . . or something similar to that effect. Well, we slid in, the clouds slid out temporarily and we created some great images together.

Michelle and Ryan were married at the McLean House in West Linn, Oregon under an overcast sky that spread a wonderful, ethereal, even light across the park. This was quite a diverse gathering of family and friends from as far away as Connecticut.

The flowers were provided by Sammy's Flowers. The minister, . . . where have I seen that face before?He certainly delivered a wonderful ceremony which included a traditional handfasting. Every one was hanging on his every word, . . . what a wonderful guy. The Meal, a yummy combo of roast, potatoes and salad was served by the Mother of the Groom. The DJ / MC for the evening was Gavin, The Aussie DJ.

Then the rains came, but the music was great enough that the guests braved the weather and gathered in the reception tent for dancing, laughing, drinking and other frivolous mayhem.
