When you think of an Urban wedding one of the fist spots that comes to mind is Union Pine! Known for its clean aesthetic inside. Its guaranteed to photograph well for your wedding from every angle. It is a total of 10,000 square feet and used to be known as a storage facility. Now owners Patrick and Summer believed this location could be something more. They redesigned the space from the ground up to how it stands today. They both came up with the word Union because they envisioned the space always bringing people together. The 2nd part came easy as the venue resides on Pine street. If you are looking at having an Urban wedding in Portland this year be sure to check out Union Pine!
