Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
I had no idea where Anacortes was before this wedding. Apparently it is in Puget Sound area above Whidbey Island. I took couple days before and after to visit Orcas Island and Deception Pass, and would love to visit again!
Victoria and Alex’s wedding was at her parent’s house, at the beach. What a beautiful setting, I am sure you will agree! It was a very intimate wedding, with great people, and a great setting. I also loved the fireworks they had. I love fireworks at weddings!
Here are some photographs from Halle and Todd’s wedding at Wine Country Farm. They had a lot of unique touches. Halle had secretly ordered hand carved chairs with their name engraved for Todd as a present.
Their place cards were based on Portland and Oregon landmarks and institutions, and were displayed on a wine barrel:
More and more people are using cupcakes as their wedding cake. The Saint Cupcakes are so amazing!!
I have a whole sequence of this little girl enjoying the cupcakes, just go here to see it.

Shake it like a polaroid picture!
This was my first time at Edgefield this year, for Kim and Chris. Some years I do 7-8 weddings there and sometimes just 1-2.
We had a really really fun time with Kim and Chris at the wedding! The ceremony was great with DJ’s officiating, and some great speeches as well.
here is a quick sneak peek, straight out of camera. I am keeping most of my favorites for the full edit

Here is a quick sneak peek at Vada and Geoff’s wedding reception at Acadian Ballroom.
One of the more interesting parts of the wedding day was how it ended:
Don’t worry, nobody was hurt seriously. Not sure how an accident on Alberta can be so forceful to turn an SUV on it’s side but that was the scene in front of the ballroom!

Right after ceremony
Here is a quick sneak peek to Kelli and Tom’s wedding. They had their reception at Laurelhurst Park. When you have a ceremony at a public park, you can count on many passersby watching you say your vows to each other. There was some great light streaming through the leaves as well, so I took advantage of that a bit. Bridgeport Brewery at Pearl Blocks is pretty cool location as well. They have some nice art on the walls, and the lighting can be pretty cool as well.

My associate Arian photographed Brenda and Daniel’s fun wedding at Concrete, Washington at family residence. It is an absolutely gorgeous place! Here is a quick sneak peek!
Great unity candle
I came across this video of crashers stealing photographer’s equipment (and thus, images of the wedding as well). I always keep my images on me to avoid such situations.
