Persimmon Golf club is a gem of a venue tucked away in outer Gresham with a spectacular view of Mt Hood. Suffused with bright sunlight, it was the welcome host to this multi-cultural, love-filled wedding. Ana and Tim met overseas, and slowly built a sweet friendship of trust and mutual faith. Over time, with the help of a few friends ;), Tim and Ana saw each other as more than just companions and opened their hearts to what God had in store for them in each other. It is so obvious to everyone around them, this couple fits likes a glove.

It was with such great delight that I witnessed their love culminate in this beautiful wedding ceremony. I have never heard so many different accents all at one event! I wish you could have heard the British, Portugese, Chinese, Northern Ireland, Indian... you name it. It really gave me a glimpse of what heaven might be like when every nation and tongue come together as one family.

Ana and Tim, you both are a beautiful reflection of your faith in God and his transforming power. Thank you Tim for singing that beautiful song to your bride during the reception, it has stuck with me since and brings tears to my eyes.

These images below are just a tiny smattering of my favorites- enjoy!
