Till Death Do Us Part: Huge fans of all things Halloween, Bailey and Kenzie love how this spooky cemetery photo turned out. “We just happened upon [these tombs] and thought it was a cool photo spot,” Kenzie says.
After meeting at work in 2015, Bailey Bodine and Kenzie Anderson bonded over their mutual love of animals (they each owned a cat). A year later, they moved in together and added a dog to their fur family, and in 2017, the pair became engaged after closing on a home in the East End’s Fulton neighborhood.
The couple planned a casual autumn celebration at the historic Hofheimer Building in Scott’s Addition, which consisted of a rooftop ceremony and a lively reception in the building’s spacious loft. “We are very laid-back people, so we wanted to have a low-pressure wedding,” Kenzie says. Their minimalist yet sophisticated decor consisted of moody fall colors such as navy, burgundy and dark green, with whimsical DIY floral arrangements sourced from local farmers.
The brides say that “good food and beer” were among their top wedding priorities. The evening’s menu consisted of comfort foods such as roast beef, macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables, and vegetarian lasagna, along with a selection of local IPAs, lagers and sours. Guests enjoyed assorted Country Style Donuts and Pearl’s Bake Shoppe cupcakes for dessert, while the newlyweds dined on two cutting cakes made by a close friend, one chocolate with cream cheese frosting, the other a hummingbird cake.
Bailey and Kenzie agree that their favorite moments from the day took place before the wedding. They had their first look at The Black Pine, an Oregon Hill row house and Airbnb getaway, followed by a spooky-themed photo session at Hollywood Cemetery featuring their dog, Fisher. “We were nervous to see each other, and then after our first look, those nerves started wearing away, especially when we were with our dog at the cemetery,” Bailey says. “We really started to relax and have fun.”
