I absolutely love this wedding. I had been looking forward to it since the moment I met Maggie and Jamison on my front porch two years ago, and it definitely did not disappoint! Some weddings just have it all - big, wonderful emotions, beautiful setting, gorgeous details, delicious food, ridiculously fun dancing to great music, incredibly nice people, even a caricature artist! I really couldn’t have asked for a more spectacular day. . .
I was SO looking forward to Melissa and Matt’s Horning’s Hideout wedding, and it definitely did not disappoint! From the beautiful autumn weather and the gorgeous florals to the simple, elegant dress that showed off the bride’s amazing tattoos PERFECTLY, to the delicious food and the super-fun dance party, everything about this wedding was absolutely superb. Despite all of that, it was the joy radiating from the couple and their lovely family and friends that really made the occasion really special. I couldn’t image a better wedding day, and I was honored to be a part of it . . .
Wedding season is back in full swing and I couldn’t be more delighted! This wedding was a fast favorite - I love all the colors and the gorgeous light, and the happy, laughing friends and family. All my favorite things at a wedding! This was my first time at the Thyme Garden, and I was wowed not only by the beautiful setting, but the catering was amazing as well (site-smoked salmon for the win)! And as always, all the personal touches, from the flower crown that the bride made herself to the shelf of blankets knitted and crocheted by the bride’s family, really make for a special day. . .
Chelsea and Audrey chose the Columbia River Gorge Hotel for their intimate wedding both for its beautiful setting and for its sense of Old Hollywood glamour. I had never been there before, so I arrived a little early to check out our photography options, and I was thrilled - despite the rainy weather. The dogwood trees and cherry blossoms in full bloom created a riot of pink throughout the property, adding a stunning foreground to the already beautiful views of the Columbia River. . .
I met Sydney and Sebastian last year at his grandmother Nilda’s family reunion/wedding celebration, and I’ve been looking forward to seeing the family again for their wedding ever since. One of the best parts of my job is getting to know my clients’ families and see them grow and celebrate with them over the years. Nilda arranged the beautiful flowers for this wedding, the whole family worked together on delicious food and desserts and decorations, and it all came together in a really beautiful, personal celebration. . .
Another beautiful wedding in the books! This was my first time shooting at the Blockhouse at Pomarius Nursery, and wow is it a lovely venue! It’s this magical little green oasis in the industrial area of NW Portland, and despite the whole wedding basically taking place after dark in October, it felt so warm and inviting inside. After the ceremony the absolute pros on Lauren’s team from Your Perfect Bridesmaid completely transformed the space with long tables, taper candles, and gorgeous arrangements from Songbird Floristry into an intimate, gorgeous dining area for the couple’s delicious wedding dinner celebration. . .
Celeste and Frank’s dog Augie looks just like my own Muppet of a goldendoodle, so obviously it was love at first sight. It turns out that the rest of their family and friends were lovely as well, and we spent a beautiful, bright, sunny day celebrating their wedding together! This couple has been together a long time, and they were excited to finally make it official. . .
Another beautiful wedding to share! Liz and Jaron got married on a lovely, very sunny June day at McMenamin’s Edgefield. You could really see all the love and thought Liz put into planning their big day, from the customized neon signs at the reception, to individual Sola Wood Flower corsages and boutonnieres for EVERY SINGLE GUEST in attendance! She even made her own wedding bouquet and got Jaron tiny, vintage Colt 45 cufflinks (and they were ADORABLE). I love it when there are so many fun, thoughtful details that really tell the story of the day. . .
