I had the pleasure of photographing the Portland Art Museum’s Disquited exhibit opening reception/gala. The exhibit itself is fantastic (runs until May 16th), and the reception was too. It was catered and designed by Vibrant Table Catering
, and the lighting was exceptional. The wine was donated kindly by Hawks View Cellars, a wonderful vineyard in Sherwood. I had the pleasure of actually working with Kemp family couple years ago, and it was nice to see them again! There was a nice speech by Brian Ferriso, the director of the Portland Art Museum as well!

I had the pleasure of attending the Portland NACE event at the Lawrence Gallery. The sponsors for this event were myself and Lawrence Gallery, Vibrant Table, Torii Mor Winery, Sweet Masterpiece Chocolates, Garden Vineyards. Everything went great, and Jules Rupae from Another Perfect Production and Kristina Lazos from Hilton ran the show expertly!

I had the pleasure of photographing the the grand re-opening of the renowned furniture brand Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams on West Burnside. The event was also a fundraiser for the Q-Center.
The event was expertly catered by Vibrant Table, and DJ’ed by Lady Bunny (some of you may recognize from movie Wigstock). Mayor Sam Adams did the ribbon cutting with Bob Williams. Two excellent scotch cocktails were served by the talented bartenders.
The Portland store was a licensed store that was privately owned and operated, but now it will be owned and run by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams is a very environmentally friendly company, and they have also been recognized for their philanthropic work. They help those with life-challenging illnesses through groups including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. And they are seen as a major force for gay rights by many, including The Human Rights Campaign, where Mitchell served on the Board for seven years, Out magazine, which named him to 2007’s “Top 50 Most Powerful Gay People in America”, and The Advocate, which gave him a 2006 “People of the Year Award.”

Maggie and John’s wedding was a fun filled event at Villa Amor. They had a ton of their friends come over from Corvallis and Idaho, and had a great band to end the reception, along with fireworks. I was also able to photograph their rehearsal dinner the night before, and the guests had a great time smashing the wedding pinata!
Make sure to scroll down and see the competitive bouquet catch! Hair pulling and all…

Zenith Vineyards is one of the prettiest places to have a wedding in Oregon. Last vineyard wedding I shot there was completely outdoors, so I was excited to shoot the reception indoors this time. It is such a classy, elegant location. Of course, when you have a fun and photogenic couple, it makes my life easier too! Kyle is a professional soccer player who stole Brittany’s heart years ago. It was great to see their friends from school, from Adidas, and from other walks of life honor the couple at their most special day.
Venue: Zenith Vineyard
Caterer: Vibrant Table
