We had a lot of fun at Lauren and Keith’s wedding! Cowboy boots and hats, mariachi band, gay and lesbian party going on upstairs!
We started the day at Elk Rock Gardens of the Bishop’s Close, a fantastic place! The ceremony was at the Christ Church Episcopal Parish in Lake Oswego, and then the reception was at the beautiful Portland Art Museum Fields Ballroom. The planning was done expertly by Amy from Blush Bridal, flowers were by Francoise Weeks. The museum looked beautiful with all the decorations and flowers. The couple even had a mariachi band to entertain the guests during the cocktail hour. Event Team NW entertained the guests with expert DJ’ing.
Meanwhile another fun event was happening at the Kridel Ballroom - Coronation 2008 by Rose Court. This provided some interesting photography opportunities. Everybody had lots of fun, and Lauren and Keith even got to check out the upstairs party for a bit. The night ended with a beautiful dance by bride and groom surrounded by guests holding candles. (The whole wedding can be viewed here)

We’ve known Jason and Emily for some time now, and it was an honor to shoot their Fall wedding. We met up with Emily and her crew at the Burnside Proper salon, and then we followed them to McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale. They had a very unique ceremony where their friends and family were holding candles as they circled Emily and Jason. Jason brought his turntables and after the ceremony we had a super fun dance party. Arian our associate photographer even got a chance to spin some records at the end of the night.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Gabby and Andrea over the years and when the chance came up to do portraits with them at the beach, and I was available, I was very happy!
I lost one of my Alien Bee’s Cybersync’s to the ocean, but it was worth it! We picked a cool beach, and did some beach portraits with the waves crashing at Puerto Vallarta!

This is first of the series of sneak peeks from my weddings from my last Mexico trip. Amber and Matt tied the knot at Villa de Roja, which is directly on Playa de San Francisco. Beautiful location! The reception was at the amazing Mar Plata Restaurant, run by Bruno. Mar Plata is one of the best restaurants I have been to, so if you are in the Sayulita, Punta Mita, Bucerias, Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta area, make sure to visit them.
Here is the coolest thing: the wedding party was followed by a super friendly dog the whole week, and he invited himself to the wedding and the reception too. In fact, the doggie was so loved, Amber and Matt adopted the doggie and he is arriving in US soon!

I participated in an event organized by EJP Events at the Nines Hotel where wedding professionals stopped by to get their family or headshot pictures taken while the kids had a fun time playing. Event Cosmetics did the make up and couple other photographers participated as well. Here are couple pictures in the blog, and the full set is here.

Vesna and Tony had their beautiful ceremony at The Grotto - the setting was very serene with sun peeking through the trees. Afterward the reception was at the Portland Art Museum Kridel Grand Ballroom, decorated beautifully by Vibrant Table. There was no shortage of awesome music, punctuated by Tony’s own band!
