I had the pleasure of photographing the Portland Art Museum’s Disquited 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!

Corinna and Julie tied the knot at the family Christmas tree farm. It was a beautiful affair! Julie had a custom suit made for herself at Duchess, a custom vintage inspired suit maker. Corinna had a beautiful colorful dress as well, and it was made by Elizabeth Dye at English Depot. Julie arrived at the wedding on a Kubota ATV driven by the two ring bearers!
One of the highlights was that the drinks were made by Mint Restaurant/Bar. Corinna told me that it was one of the first things they booked. The cocktails looked great and the guests really enjoyed them. What a cool idea! The catering was by Wild Pear catering in Salem, they did a great job! DJ was Dj Beyonda.
We later did a great photo shoot with Corinna’s sister’s horse. I love horses, so that was really fun for me!
Guests and family can see the rest of the wedding pictures here. Please ask for the password from the couple.

I had the privilige of being part of Jill and Michele’s commitment ceremony in Mexico. It is always a pleasure to work with artistic minded people, and both Jill and Michele and their guests were so much fun to be around. We had fireworks, mariachis, salsa band, and tacos pastor! A really fun evening overall! The couple also had one of the most unique invitation’s ever as well. They were designed by Jill’s sister, who is a graphic designer (Quoin Design). The place cards were also very unique - they used loteria cards for that purpose.
To add to the coolness, guests were able to spot some whales from the overlook on Don Pedro’s Palapa. Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta event planners Andrea and Gabi of Sayulia Dream Weddings did a fantastic job as usual organizing event.
I was also able to get some great scenic shots, given that there was a full moon. The night shot of Playa de Los Muertos with stars is my favorite, but the Sayulita bay is also really pretty.
Friends and family can see the full set here (you can get the password from J&M).

I just finished editing Kim & Beth’s commitment ceremony. It was at their spectacular house with a great view. What I really loved shooting about this ceremony were the kids and also some low light stuff. I love photographing kids - that is one area of my business I will market much more.
I am doing more and more same-sex weddings, so feel free to get in touch with me.
