I was fortunate enough to shoot Wish Upon A Wedding’s Portland Chapter launch party. I love being a charity or fundraiser photographer at events like these!

This is from Wish Upon A Wedding’s website:

“As the World’s first nonprofit wedding wish granting organization, Wish Upon a Wedding provides weddings at destinations across the United States for individuals facing life-threatening illness. (Applicant must provide medical documentation stating a diagnosis of less than 3 years to live). It is a chance for couples to enjoy a very special day, without any thoughts of existing health issues, while surrounded by their closest family and friends.”

So if you want to donate your services, please contact Nadia Ly of Creations by Ly who was very instrumental in organizing this event.
