Jenny and Sean’s wedding was a very classy, elegant Portland fall wedding, utilizing both the Sunken Ballroom and the Kridel Grand Ballroom at the Portland Art Museum. They had a fantastic choice of vendors. I was very impressed with the light set up as well. They also utilized a service called Ladies in Waiting - Samantha from August Veils was there to help the bridal party with all their needs during the getting ready at Portland’s Paramount Hotel
. This and Soiree’s expert event coordination just made everything ran stress free for our beautiful bride Jenny. It was a rainy day but we still managed to find couple minutes to go outside!

I had the pleasure of photographing Riza & Wayne previously at their Portland engagement session. We had tons of fun - and at their wedding, we had even more fun! Champagne Events ran the show expertly, Vibrant Table catering and flowers were superb, and Paparazzi Tonight got some great some moments!
The couple also had private wedding dance instruction from Leilani Nakagawa, one of Portland’s most accomplished dance instructors. It showed, and they rocked the place!

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!

Portland Art Museum’s recent exhibit, La volupté du goût: French Painting in the Age of Madame de Pompadour will be open from February 7 - March 17, 2009. To celebrate the exhibit, Portland Art Museum put on a gala. Curated by Philippe Le Leyzour, Director, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Tours, and Penelope Hunter-Stiebel, Consulting Curator of European Art, Portland Art Museum. The Portland installation design and interpretation were led by Chief Curator Bruce Guenther and Tina Olsen, Director of Education and Public Programs. This exhibition has received major organizational support from FRAME (French Regional and American Museum Exchange).
Vibrant Table did a tremendous job in decorating the event. Everything was top class. The resulting affect was amazing and it was one of the most wonderfully designed events we’ve ever seen produced from Vibrant Table! Music by Ruslan String Quartet and Design Band!
Here’s some of our favorite highlights from the event:
Recreation of Les Confidences Pastorales by François Boucher with live models

We had a lot of fun at Lauren and Keith’s wedding! Cowboy boots and hats, mariachi band, gay and lesbian party going on upstairs!
We started the day at Elk Rock Gardens of the Bishop’s Close, a fantastic place! The ceremony was at the Christ Church Episcopal Parish in Lake Oswego, and then the reception was at the beautiful Portland Art Museum Fields Ballroom. The planning was done expertly by Amy from Blush Bridal, flowers were by Francoise Weeks. The museum looked beautiful with all the decorations and flowers. The couple even had a mariachi band to entertain the guests during the cocktail hour. Event Team NW entertained the guests with expert DJ’ing.
Meanwhile another fun event was happening at the Kridel Ballroom - Coronation 2008 by Rose Court. This provided some interesting photography opportunities. Everybody had lots of fun, and Lauren and Keith even got to check out the upstairs party for a bit. The night ended with a beautiful dance by bride and groom surrounded by guests holding candles. (The whole wedding can be viewed here)
