## Caption

Daniel and Dorothy Jacobi are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, and I decided to photograph the celebration night entirely on film as it would have been 25 years ago. The night I photographed was filled with love and laughter as the group made their way through Portland, Oregon. It would not have been possible without the help of Delaney Jacobi and Jeremy and Rebecca Colwell.

The entire night was a surprise to the couple, except for the fact that Dorothy brought along her wedding dress and decided to surprise Daniel with it. After getting ready, Dorothy snuck out of the Colwells’ house as Daniel was finishing up his shower. Rebecca and I then drove Dorothy to the Peninsula Park Rose Garden and waited.

Disguised as a roadside stop so that I could take pictures of the flowers, Jeremy, Delaney, and Daniel soon followed and only saw me walking around the garden.

“Oh, hey!” I said. “Sorry, I wanted to stop and take photographs. Mom and Rebecca are over here.”

Hiding behind a small shrub was Dorothy in her wedding dress.

“Oh, wow,” Daniel said. “This is a surprise!”

As it started to sprinkle, the group popped a bottle of champagne and soon found coverage in a gazebo. After laughing about the surprise, “What a Wonderful World,” by Louis Armstrong, started playing on a speaker.

It was the couple’s first dance song at their wedding.

Swaying, arm in arm, the two exchanged a few words and continued to dance. As the music died, the two kissed and thanked the group.

Next, the group ventured to Kachka for dinner. A lovely Soviet Union-era restaurant, it’s known for family dining, extraordinary food and service, and an extensive vodka menu.

For the final night activity, the group had fun at Hopscotch, an immersive art gallery with a wide variety of lights, games, and experiences.

I love you, Mom and Dad.
