Here is a very cool wedding I have done over the New Year’s eve and wanted to share. The theme of Chris and Alexis wedding was Great Gatsby. It was at the First Congregational Church for ceremony, and then we moved to the Art Museum to Fields Ballroom. The processional was escorted by guests with sparklers walking to the Art Museum.
The event coordinators Blush Consulting did a fantastic job and there were gambling tables, a live period gypsy jazz/swing band (Stolen Sweets), and even swing/charleston dance instructors. The drinks were cooled in an old claw foot tub. Portland has quite a few great event planners/coordinators and I am lucky to work with quite a few of them!
We also did a unique set up this wedding and had a portrait booth set up. The bride and groom provided the props and a second photographer took photos of all the guests in their cool flapper/zoot suit outfits with this decor. You can see a funny one of such a set up shot below.
So I rang the new year’s at the Art Museum. Towards the end, guests were served with chocolate cups with Bailey’s and also mini burgers and fries in martini glasses. Nice!

Mr Evrim,

My warm complements
I love this theme wedding…so different and fun.
Amazing work as always, you’ve long been one of my favorite photographers.
This looks like it was such a fun wedding. You did an amazing job capturing it.
As always, your work is truly beautiful. I love the burger and fries in the martini glass!
What a fun wedding. I just love the shot of the girls dancing.
WOW Evrim, this looked like an awesome theme for a wedding. These were people planning for excellent memories and shots of their wedding. As always, you do a fantastic and inspiring job of capturing the moments.
Dance Instructors and Performers of Charleston and Swing appreciate a photographer who can capture a quick movement.
Evrim is able to click the photo just at the right moment, being that he is also a dancer and knows where the accent kicks or dips are in the dance.
He is simply the best at dance photography.
Romantic he is too, and can anticipate a brides blush, a smile, and those precious moments
that happen only one day of your life.
