Portland Rose Gardens

We began out special day by taking photos in a very special location. This shot was taken by my photographer Kelly Chandler at the Portland Rose Gardens. The Rose Gardens have special memories for me because I remember visiting them as a little girl with Grandma and Grandpa Radimak. I felt that it was a very fitting location because they could not be here with us. It is hard to believe that the morning started out with a down pour of rain. The rain ended just as we pulled up to the gardens. Although it made most of the grounds a muddy soup, the glistening water drops on the roses and greenery were beautiful.
