We just adore these two humans and were so thrilled when they decided to make it official. We were over the moon honored that they wanted to host the big day at UP. All pics are from dear friends, some of which are candids shot on an instant disposable, who knew?!. Incredible what you can create when you have such lovely people to shoot.

Yana + Tyler by Kati Hoy
Yana + Tyler’s stunning celebration had a dreamy scheme, perfect personal touches, and a flare of fun thanks to the stellar coordination team at Luxe. We love seeing how our couples are making use of The Loft for first looks and a special place to hang with their bridal party before their big moment! More pics from this one HERE.
Stephen + Houston by Jason Wasinger
This dapper duo kept things classic for their wedding, bringing in just enough decor to make the space feel like theirs. Happy wedding day, Stephen + Houston!
Ray + Mike by Ellie Asher
The dress, the cape, the florals… This wedding had it all. And so much of it was thanks to this talented bride! Pull some romantic inspiration from this couple for that dreamy cold weather wedding.
Lindsay + Bryce by Alixann Loosle
We love a wedding whose bridal party makes our space look this good - and this small! Lindsay + Bryce packed the house with a troupe of well-dressed friends and family in soft colors, and highlighted their backdrop with a super unique floral instal by Solabee. More photos from this stunner HERE.
Katie + Tim by Christy Cassano
Katie + Tim’s big day included a stunning ‘first look’ location, a gorgeous traditional Catholic church wedding, and a jaw-dropping tablescape setting for their reception here at Union Pine. We posted a few shots of the greenery because we know this one is bound to be replicated for years to come!
Emilie + Connor by Karra Leigh
Every detail of Emily + Connor’s wedding was picture-perfectly feminine and romantic. If you are as inspired as we are by the colors, the florals, and the DRESS, head over to see the full album HERE and get your Pin button ready.

A wedding party for the BOOKS with this rad couple! Endless style and an all night dance party dj’ed by none other than Questlove. Second set of pics by Suzie Martinez.
Brandilyn + Isaac by Catalina Jean
This styling of this wedding was so personal and so unique, and we were thrilled to see it all come together. We also loved seeing The Loft make its debut as a bachelor / bachelorette suite for prep and first looks!
Missy + Tristan by Lukas Korynta
Clearing out the backlog of albums to add to our blog, this one jumped out right away since it was one of our first weddings in The Loft! A wonderfully intimate wedding with everyone you love in one place.

Best Intimate Wedding Venues in Portland
We were so excited to be included in Oregon Bride Magazine’s quick list of venues for small gatherings, as we have not one but three separate spaces to offer couples looking to host ceremonies in the time of Covid.
”Located in Southeast Portland’s Buckman neighborhood is Union Pine, a uber-cool, laid-back venue. With bones to satisfy any Pinterest board (take a peek at the herringbone wall!), Union Pine strives to create a space for every style of wedding. “Featuring little to no décor, the space can be fancied up or funked out depending on the couple’s style—a blank slate, so to speak,” explained owner Summer Triato. Brides and grooms have the flexibility to fully customize their event with any vendors they choose, reflecting the venue’s effort to support all clients, budgets and visions. Union Pine has room for 130 seated guests or 292 standing guests.”

ANTI-BRIDE FEATURE
We’ve featured some of the pics from Sara + Phil’s union before, but we had to celebrate this feature - and their love - again! Feature and more fab film pics HERE.
When two creatives get married and have their entire wedding shot on only film, you know it's going to be killer. Phil and Sara are both talented photographers and chose their good friend Sean and his partner Melanie from A Fistful of Bolts to shoot their wedding. Held on a scorching hot day in Portland, Oregon, the couple married on the rooftop of Union/Pine.
Phil and Sara wanted their wedding to be shot on film and didn't want there to be any rules. They celebrated their day uniquely their own way. Whilst the couple kept things very low-key, they had a incredible team who brought their breathtaking vision together - wedding planner Kayla Hoppins, stylist Bright Night and florist Selva. Their wedding was unique, incredible and intimate - and the emotions were devastatingly beautiful.
As Sean summed up so beautifully : "Ive seen as lot of love on display, but it isn't often that I see two people on complete fire for one another. I think Sara brings out the best in Phil and Phil does the same for her. Their love is reciprocal and beautiful and I'm just happy to have been a small part of it."

Loft @ Union/Pine modern boho wedding inspiration
The U/P team produced this shoot back in 2016, but we still get goosebumps when we catch a glimpse of the pics from Phil Chester and Sara Byrne. We thought we'd post some never before seen images and some behind the scenes of the team, including Fiore Floral Design and Emily Katz, to get us in the mood for Spring wedding season!
Devon + Lauren @ Union/Pine
Every photo from their album by Micah Fischeris more tear-jerking than the last. The love between these two literally leaps through the screen. Congratulations, Devon + Lauren!
