Two blog posts in one day?! That’s just what happens when I have 2 weddings back to back in the same weekend. I had such a great time spending the day photographing this Greek Orthodox wedding in Beaverton. This couple is just the sweetest, and their love story gives chills. To summarize, they met on […]

This is a bittersweet post for me because on the day I showed up to photograph this wedding, I found out that Portland’s White House had been sold. This would be the last wedding at Portland’s White House, one of my favorite venues in Portland. I guess I shouldn’t say never, because maybe in 10, […]

This wedding at the Portland Yacht Club kicked off the year’s wedding season!  I had never been to the Portland Yacht Club before, but it is such a great venue, especially for an indoor wedding.  The venue does have the option for an outdoor wedding, however in March it’s safe to plan for indoors.  This […]

This bride and groom tied the knot at Coopers Hall in Southeast Portland, but we photographed most of their wedding portraits at Hotel Vintage and Tanner Springs Park.  Hotel Vintage is a gorgeous boutique hotel in downtown Portland. Tanner Springs Park is near Fields Park in the heart of the Pearl District.  The bride’s room […]

These two had a wedding at THE WORLD FORESTRY CENTER in Portland’s Washington Park.  They are both very laid back and their day was perfect and reflected their style.  I loved the bride’s vintage style dress.  Her hair and makeup was by the talented JEIN KING, and was so pretty!  They married in Cheatham Hall, and […]

I’d been looking forward to this wedding at the Portofino Hotel for over a year, and it did not disappoint.  By a crazy coincidence, I happened to be in Los Angeles the day that this bride first emailed me.  She asked if I ever traveled to Los Angeles, or ever worked there.  Therefore, we met […]

These two were married at Castaway in NW Portland.  They had vintage board games, mustard yellow accents, and dried flowers for wedding decor.  It was such a fun and colorful venue in the NW industrial area, and next to the cutest little nursery.  Everything about their wedding day was just relaxed and perfect! Vintage Board […]

I’ve been looking forward to this Hotel deLuxe Vintage inspired wedding for what seems like FOREVER, and it did not disappoint!  I knew after photographing their engagement session last year that these two were going to have a beautiful and very thoughtful wedding, with lots of fun details.

This Forsyth Country Club wedding reception included so many pretty details.  It was simple and classic, with sage green and peachy pink as the main colors.  The bride designed her dress and had it custom made. I must say it was quite amazing!  In fact, it had such beautiful movement, and was a great weight, […]

I’d been looking forward to this romantic wedding at Holly Hedge Estate for over a year!  I was even more excited after they visited Portland for THEIR ENGAGEMENT SESSION!  Finally the big weekend came and I headed off to New Hope, Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia) for their wedding day.  It was such a beautiful venue! Romantic Wedding […]

This couple married at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in northwest Portland.  Afterwards they had a reception at Irving Street Kitchen.  This was the sweetest couple, and it was such a beautiful day for a March wedding.  The bride wore a beautiful dress purchased at The English Dept downtown.  And of course I loved her cathedral veil! […]

These bride and groom photos at Jupiter Hotel are so vibrant and fun.  The hotel, which is next to Doug Fir lounge on E Burnside, is a great location for getting ready before the wedding.  The hotel also happens to be a wedding venue!

I’d been looking forward to this wedding for months and months!  I knew it was going to be a beautiful wedding, and I was right!  They were married at BECKENRIDGE VINEYARDS in Dallas Oregon, and although it rained almost the entire day and we had to move the ceremony indoors, everything was still just perfect, […]
