Shannon and Eric held their wedding ceremony in the very beautiful St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in NW Portland. After the touching ceremony, they were whisked away in an amazing vintage metallic blue Rolls Royce limousine headed to Hillsboro’s Garden Vineyards. Upon arriving to the scenic vineyard, the staff of Art of Catering greeted Shannon and Eric with delicious cosmopolitans. Every one of their friends and family had a chance to unwind at the venue with both breath taking views and delicious food and wine.
Once dusk started to approach and after dinner was served, the couple unveiled a “Scotch and Cigar” bar for their guests to get loosened up before the dancing was to begin. I had no idea what I was in store for! The band was Hit Machine. WOW. What started as a band playing the classic standards turned all of a sudden into an all out leopard print rock fest. No kidding! I had a hard time even finding space on the dance floors! What a night!

Tiffany and David’s wedding at the Garden Vineyards was a classy vineyard wedding affair with gorgeous place settings, great flowers, wonderful food and beautiful summer weather. They had cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake, and used place cards supported by corks. Art of Catering created some wonderful dishes and appetizers. A string quartet played music for the guests. Everything went smoothly thanks to their coordinator Jeanne Lapp. Hummingbirds were in full swing - I was able to grab couple shots of them, check it out below!

Amanda and Brian tied the knot at Garden Vineyards on a perfect day for a vineyard wedding. They currently live in Tennessee but wanted to have a great outdoors wedding with Oregon wine country feel. The Air Show was going on at the same time as well as you can see in one of the pictures. The ceremony was beautifully officiated by Jim Stonier while the couple was surrounded by views of the vines and occasional flyby. Catering was done superbly by Art of Catering and the DJ was none other than Eric Wright who was a perfect fit.
Amanda and Brian, and also Father of the Bride, Chris, took dance lessons from the maid of honor Stacey who is a professional dancer. You can see the results in the photos. Stacey and I also had one little dance at the urging of Amanda, and had a great swing dance! Needless to say Amanda and Brian rocked their first dance and Chris did a great job dancing with his daughter as well.

Here is one of our latest engagement sessions with Tiffany and Dave. They are from Los Angeles and came down to Oregon to finalize some details for their wedding next year at Garden Vineyards. Engagement Sessions are a great way to get to practice in front of camera, and have fun at the same time! I take couple more formal shots for the announcements and then have some artistic and fashion inspired shots as well.
Here are some engagement portrait pictures:

Here is a sneak peek to some photographs from Cicely and Jeff’s wedding reception and ceremony at Garden Vineyards, a gorgeous location.
Garden Vineyards is one of the most beautiful vineyards! Jennifer and Robert had a great wedding, Jennifer made some drapes (you can see in one of the photos) and they really added to the ambiance. It was hot, and even the cat had to sneak in for a drink
