I loved photographing this wedding at The Loft at The Red Building in Astoria, Oregon. This was my last wedding of 2022, and it couldn’t have been a prettier day! November weather can really go either way, probably more often than not, it is gray and rainy, especially at the coast. Just a beautiful blue […]
Wow, talk about a gorgeous location, this wedding at Eminent Domaine Winery was one for the books! I can’t stop thinking about how perfect everything was.

This fun and colorful wedding at Firehouse Restaurant in Portland was amazing! Mushrooms, mash, cootie catchers, and rainbow wigs were just a few of the off-beat details that made it extra special. You may remember when Flowers By Alana, Sugarhouse Cake, and myself teamed up back at the beginning of the pandemic to offer a […]
I’ve been looking forward to this colorful wedding at The Foundry since meeting the groom’s mother at a wedding I photographed in 2019!

Wow. Wow wow wow. This couple wanted amazing images of their Latourell Falls micro wedding elopement, even if that meant jumping in, which we all practically did! The heavy rains and snowmelt combined with extremely windy conditions. Neither of which are very unusual, but it definitely made the falls unpredictable! You never knew when […]
This wedding at Coopers Hall was a blast! Coopers Hall is such a great urban venue right in central SE Portland. We started the day at Hotel Lucia in downtown Portland. We took some portraits around the Park Blocks, and then headed across the river for the festivities! Coopers Hall is a winery and taproom […]
I have wanted to photograph a wedding at this incredible venue for years. Therefore, when this couple told me they planned to get married at Deepwood Estate, I was ecstatic! It is now called Deepwood Museum & Gardens, and it is located in Salem, just a short drive from Portland. It was built in 1894 […]
This wedding at Ainsworth House & Gardens was a dream. This venue is definitely one of my favorites in the city. It’s actually located in Oregon City, but it’s so close to Portland, you can barely tell the difference. It’s a historic home in a neighborhood, but it’s surrounded by such lush landscaping, that you […]
I hadn’t known these two terribly long when they first booked me for their wedding, but they have since become some of my favorite people and best friends in Portland. I was so excited for their winter wonderland snowy Timberline Lodge wedding on Mt. Hood. (At least I had been hoping there would be snow… and […]

These two were the cutest and I wanted to be their friend! They were planning a Youngberg Hill wedding. I loved all […]
