Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
I had the pleasure of photographing a very elegantly choreographed 50’s costume birthday party! The decor was by Peter Corvallis Productions, and catering was by
Art of Catering. They both did a tremendous job! My favorite was the stage that was made to look like an old fashioned TV set! Great job!
I had the pleasure and honor of photographing the Portland Gala this past December at the Governor Hotel. The Gala is a combined partnership between Oregon’s leading associations that serve the meetings, event and travel industries. It includes Meeting Professionals International – Oregon Chapter; National Association of Catering Executives, Wedding Network USA; Association of Catering and Event Professionals; International Special Events Society, Oregon Association of Bridal Consultants and NW Wedding Pros. All the leading wedding professional of Portland and Oregon were there! There was even a fund raiser for some great organizations. The selected charitable organizations for The Gala this year are the Morrison Child & Family Services and Potluck in the Park.
The night was a great success thanks to all the wonderful people that helped put it together! Portland at it’s best!

I was fortunate enough to shoot Wish Upon A Wedding’s Portland Chapter launch party. I love being a charity or fundraiser photographer at events like these!

I photographed the annual corporate party of Vibrant Table catering. It was at the super fun Oaks Amusement Park in Sellwood, which is a cool amusement park with roller coasters, bumper cars and just about everything else fun! There was even a Sumo wrestling showdown between the staff! It was awesome! I love photographing Portland corporate parties where the staff gets to get crazy!
I had the pleasure of photographing the Portland Art Museum’s Disquieted exhibit opening reception/gala. The exhibit itself is fantastic (runs until May 16th), and the reception was too. It was catered and designed by Vibrant Table Catering
, and the lighting was exceptional. The wine was donated kindly by Hawks View Cellars, a wonderful vineyard in Sherwood. I had the pleasure of actually working with Kemp family couple years ago, and it was nice to see them again! There was a nice speech by Brian Ferriso, the director of the Portland Art Museum as well!
I had the pleasure of attending the Portland NACE event at the Lawrence Gallery. The sponsors for this event were myself and Lawrence Gallery, Vibrant Table, Torii Mor Winery, Sweet Masterpiece Chocolates, Garden Vineyards. Everything went great, and Jules Rupae from Another Perfect Production and Kristina Lazos from Hilton ran the show expertly!
Here is a link to the whole set of photos.
I had the pleasure of photographing the the grand re-opening of the renowned furniture brand Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams on West Burnside. The event was also a fundraiser for the Q-Center.
The event was expertly catered by Vibrant Table, and DJ’ed by Lady Bunny (some of you may recognize from movie Wigstock). Mayor Sam Adams did the ribbon cutting with Bob Williams. Two excellent scotch cocktails were served by the talented bartenders.
The Portland store was a licensed store that was privately owned and operated, but now it will be owned and run by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams is a very environmentally friendly company, and they have also been recognized for their philanthropic work. They help those with life-challenging illnesses through groups including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. And they are seen as a major force for gay rights by many, including The Human Rights Campaign, where Mitchell served on the Board for seven years, Out magazine, which named him to 2007’s “Top 50 Most Powerful Gay People in America”, and The Advocate, which gave him a 2006 “People of the Year Award.”
