An Urban Forest Wedding
“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too”
Hoyt Arboretum was founded in 1928 to conserve endangered species and provide community education, Hoyt Arboretum encompasses 190 ridge-top acres and hiking trails just minutes from downtown Portland, Oregon. At Hoyt Arboretum, there is amazingly over 2,300 tree species from six continents. Only minutes from downtown Portland and a public park open 365 days a year, there are about 12 miles of hiking trails across 189 acres that provide access to a globally diverse landscapes and vegetation. One of my favorite local getaways, a truly unique urban forests within the boundaries of Portland, Oregon
Kennedy and Benjamin were college sweethearts. They both enjoy all things outdoors, traveling (they lived in the Philippines for a month!), trying new foods, and meditation. Benjamin proposed to Kennedy standing on the St. Charles Bridge in Prague, one of Kennedy’s favorite locations in the world. When they got engaged, they knew they wanted to have an intimate wedding in the middle of a forest somewhere. The Hoyt Arboretum was a great choice and one of the most tranquil and unique elopement locations in Oregon.
