Jenny & Kyle emailed me just two weeks before they planned to tie the knot surrounded by roses, five of their closest friends and their puppy, Fred. After spending a majority of their relationship long distance they were eager to start this new chapter together in Portland, OR. So they did just that, they had their friends and family from all over the world tune in on zoom and held an intimate elopement at Peninsula Park Rose Garden in the heart of Portland, OR!! Peninsula Park Rose Garden is such a special place, it really feels like you’re in a secret garden. If you’re looking to elope in the city of roses, Peninsula Rose Garden is the spot.

Be like Jenny & Kyle and do whatever it is you want to celebrate your love.

Here is what Jenny & Kyle have to say about their Peninsula Park Rose Garden Elopement:


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY OR MOMENT FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY?

Favorite memory (aside from getting married) was having our dog, Fred, be part of our wedding

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR ELOPEMENT AT PENINSULA PARK ROSE GARDEN? WHAT WAS SPECIAL ABOUT IT?

We were familiar with the park as we often visited there, walking our dog or having picnics with our friends. It was just in time as the roses bloomed so it became the perfect spot for us.

WAS THERE A CERTAIN MOMENT DURING THE CEREMONY YOU WANT TO KEEP CLOSE FOREVER?

That’s so hard!! It would be all of it!

IF YOU WERE TO DESCRIBE YOUR ELOPEMENT IN THREE WORDS WHAT WOULD THEY BE?

Intimate Genuine Surreal

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SHARE, WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE LINE FROM YOUR VOWS TO EACH OTHER?

That We both, unknowingly included in our vows, to promised to love each other just as much, if not more, than our dog Fred

IF YOU COULD PICK A SONG TO MATCH THE FEELS OF YOUR ELOPEMENT WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Perfect – Ed sheeran

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR PHOTOS?

They captured the emotions of the moment!

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE TO FUTURE COUPLES PLANNING THEIR WEDDING?

Give yourself plenty of time to plan but be decisive – everything will be just fine!

IF YOU’RE WILLING, I WOULD LOVE SOME OF YOUR FEEDBACK! WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE LIKE WORKING WITH ME?

We LOVED working with you! Not only did you provide us with awesome photos, but you made us feel comfortable taking them (we are normally so awkward in front of the camera)! It was so much fun working with you! You were also super quick in sending them to us. Perfect from beginning to end!

There you have it! A Peninsula Park Rose Garden Elopement for the ages. How gorgeous did Jenny look and FRED?! Ugh Fred stole my whole heart.
