Our wedding attire is Garden Party Semi-Formal. Think cocktail attire with a relaxed outdoor garden feel. Midi or maxi dresses, suits, sport coats, and dress shirts are all wonderful choices.
Our celebration takes place throughout the gardens, with grass, gravel pathways, and some uneven terrain. We highly recommend block heels, wedges, dressy flats, or sandals so you can comfortably enjoy the evening. Stiletto heels may be difficult to walk in.
Early July in Hillsboro, Oregon is typically warm, dry, and sunny, with daytime temperatures generally ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s°F. Our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors in the gardens, while the reception, including dinner and dancing, will be held inside the climate-controlled barn.
While we absolutely adore your little ones, we kindly ask that only the guests whose names appear on your invitation attend. We truly appreciate your understanding.

We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony. We kindly ask that you turn off all cameras and phones until we are officially married. Our professional photographer will handle the rest, and we promise to share those beautiful images with you later!

We’d love to see the day through your eyes!

Lisa Leeper, Katie’s former teacher, and an amazing artist from Nome, Alaska, painted the gorgeous wedding crest and the ‘Save the Date’ artwork that is also on the homepage of this website. She also painted all of the artwork for the formal invitation. Thank you, Lisa!
