Nicole and Frank were married in the San Juan’s, but decided to have a big party with their friends when they came back at Portland Center Stage’s Gerding Theater at the Armory. They decided to have their big party somewhere that was very sentimental to their relationship, Portland Center Stage located in the Portland Armory. They also had one of our favorite band’s, Pressure Point perform during the party. They were totally energetic and fun as usual, complete with a classic saxophone solo that required audience assistance.

Afif and Elizabeth’s wedding as a high energy wedding with lots of kids and belly dancing! Ceremony was at Calvary Lutheran Church at Stayton.
During the reception, Elizabeth started doing some middle eastern/belly dancing as well. There were beautiful hand written prints on the walls at the reception. Also, bride’s sister, Jae, is a very talented singer / songwriter. She was singing during the first part of the processional which was very special for the family.

I know Sarah and Jonathan from swing dancing, and I was very honored when they picked me as their wedding photographer. We got some great shots at the Portland’s World Forestry Center in Oregon, - a unique area with very high ceilings. There was a lot of swing dancing as well!
(ps. I am reposting some weddings that got lost during my blog transfer. This is a wedding from couple years ago)

Marissa and Daniel had their wedding at the stunning Skamania Lodge overlooking the scenic Columbia Gorge. I have always wanted to photograph a wedding at Skamania lodge as I have eaten their awesome Sunday brunch many times and have always been mesmerized by the location.
This being a Jewish wedding, there were many Jewish traditions too, my favorite it is the hora (chair dance) of course. I love seeing the looks on the faces of whoever is being lifted in the air. Since their wedding was on July the 11th they also served Slurpees to their guests, honoring their 7-11 date. Marissa was a trouper - she had a cast/boot on her leg but you could not tell from the way she danced all night! The groom had scrabble cuff links - very cool! Marissa’s mother, Carol, is an accomplished photographer - check out her beautiful work here. Her dad, Daniel Isaak is also a very respected rabbi.
