Waverley Country Club Wedding | Claire & Ryan

Some weddings you photograph, and some you feel. Claire and Ryan’s summer wedding at Waverley Country Club was the second kind. Set along the Willamette River in Portland, their day was full of warmth, golden light, and the kind of laughter that carries across a lawn.

A Summer Wedding Day in Portland

The day began with Claire and Ryan surrounded by the people closest to them, settling nerves and soaking in the final quiet moments before everything began. Waverley’s classic clubhouse and manicured grounds made the perfect backdrop for a ceremony that felt both timeless and completely their own.

Cocktail hour spilled out toward the river as guests gathered on the lawn, and we stepped away for portraits as the evening light turned golden over the water. Dinner followed as the sun went down, filled with heartfelt toasts and plenty of laughter. Then the dance floor opened and never emptied, carrying the celebration well into the night.
