On of the good things about Covid (too soon?) is that we really got to know some of our wedding couples, and spent more than a year excitedly anticipating their wedding!
That was definitely the case for Pam and Dino’s wedding, a couple who love the Rat Pack, classic cars, Frank and Ava, and who were having their reception in the ‘other-timely’ Portland Masonic. And family – they both are strongly driven but their sons and their extended families.
These are a few of my favorite images, but there are many hundreds that tell the incredibly love story that is Pam and Dino’s wedding.

If you knew his groomsmen, you’d want to see as little of them as you could too. (I’m Joking!)
