Esther and Russel had a fun filled wedding! The ceremony was at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and then the ceremony was at the fabulous Hotel Deluxe. I love the vintage look of Hotel Deluxe, which definitely made for some unique backdrops.
During the trip from the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, we spotted a beautiull rainbow and made good use of it! The water front was also great for some pictures as most people stayed indoors due to rain!

Jessica and Timothy’s wedding started at the Avalon Hotel & Spa in the South Waterfront with Jessica getting ready with her bridesmaids. Jessica and all the girls then took a limousine to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens to finish getting readyfor the wedding and meet the boys. The huppah (the canopy) that Jessica had chosen to cover the two during the ceremony was actually her grandmother’s, which was very neat. After the Jewish wedding ceremony we walked throughout the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens, taking some fun images of the couple, then came the wedding reception. The wedding reception was filled with tons of dancing, which all led up to the hora (the chair dance), a Jewish tradition, which is always fun to photograph especially when you see the look on the couples faces when they are lifted into the air. Media Jockeys kept the dance floor filled!

This was my first time at the Crystal Springs for a wedding even though I have been shooting there many times for portraits. I really enjoy the place - it is beautiful! The reception was at Jax Rooftop Patio in downtown Portland, a very unique place.
