Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
Aleah and Shane’s wedding was a very elegant affair at Portland’s West Hills. From Aleah’s gorgeous Vera Wang to flowers by Francoise Weeks to food by Art of Catering, it was a top notch affair! The Swingline Cubs rocked the dance floor!

Nick and Anna are long time friends of mine. When I was asked to shoot their wedding in San Francisco, I was very honored. I also know how detail oriented they are, and I knew it was going to be fun, well planned, and full of great details. And apparently there would be a lot of cute kids! I love children so it was really fun to get some good pictures of them. Nick and Anna brought their tandem bike all the way down from Portland for their San Francisco wedding - life is better in tandem. And who does not like a wedding where there is awesome bbq?? (oh they got served coffee at the ceremony - they had met at a coffee shop). They also got serenated a capella style by Anna’s relatives!

I knew Shanelle from swing dancing and we kept in touch. When she found the man of her dreams, she gave me a call. It was a lovely wedding at Gray Gables Estate. Interestingly enough, I have never photographed there before so I was also excited about that opportunity. Shanelle is a very elegant woman, and her dress matched her completely. They have been taking dance lessons for their first dance choreography from Leilani Nakagawa. Even though Shawn was very nervous, he did amazing! It was also nice to see some of my friends from swing dancing, and a chance to photograph them!

Shannon and Woojay’s Elk Cove Vineyards wedding had a ton of unique touches! From my favorite groom wedding cake (a Canon camera groom wedding cake, yay!) to a cutie dog ring bearer to amazing food, everything was top notch. We love Elk Cove Vineyards for their wine already (try their Pinot Gris - named to Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2010!) but the setting is gorgeous as well of course! (See our other Elk Cove Vineyards weddings!) And their “guest book” wasa hand made painting where guests were asked to leave a finger print to form leaves with different colors!

My favorite groom’s cake possibly! A Canon Camera! With the back LCD and edible prints!
Lea and Stephen’s Vancouver, Washington wedding was a small, family affair with a lot of personal touches. From a bagpiper to Scottish dancing to brooch bouquet made by Lea’s cousin, there were many personal touches. And there was even a Skype guest to watch the wedding remotely from Scotland. I love small weddings where everyone knows each other!I also loved that they used their engagement picture as the background for the vase during the sand ceremony!
