Ooh, wisteria. You are oh so very beautiful!!! This lush canopy of blooming wisteria made the perfect location for Yelena + Frank’s day after session in Portland, OR, captured by Irina Bodnar Photography. Here is a bit more about Yelena + Frank’s love story from Irina…

“Yelena and Frank have quite the love story that not many couples experience. It’s more of the reality type “Romeo and Juliet” story rather than the mythical or imaginary.At least for the first part.Yelena comes from a very strict, conservative Russian family who always wished to see her get married to someone from her culture and religion. Frank is an easy going, fun, and spontaneous kind of a guy who has impeccable morals at heart. Frank first spotted Lena (short for Yelena) at his ethics class and ever since he first layed his eyes on her, he was unable to keep himself away from her. Lena, also fell in love with the guy before she could even stop herself. Unfortunately, their love had to take a ride on a bumpy road before they could be happy. At first, their families weren’t being supportive of their relationship and wanted them apart. But then they slowly started realizing that maybe they’re doing the wrong thing and finally allowed Lena and Frank to get married. The lovebirds have never been so happy as when they started to live their lives together. “
