Alex and Shane had a low key and intimate wedding at the Peninsula Park in Portland, Oregon. I love shooting at the Peninsula Park, I used to live nearby and always enjoyed the beauty of it. Peninsula Park was Portland’s first public rose garden and the official rose of Portland, named Mme. Caroline Testout, was cultivated at Peninsula Park. Ok, enough trivia, now to more details.
Alex wore these amazing shoes! I love them. And Shane was like a GQ model. It was strictly family affair and featured some amazing Indian food. Getting ready was at A Painted Inn bed & breakfast, and the reception at their house. The flowers are by Punch and they were beautiful! This was a short coverage but we got great photos!

Here are some quick highlights from Stephanie and Wiley’s wedding at the LDS Brogden Building and reception following at Abernethy Center in Oregon City! I have never seen a couple that laughs so much! It is contagious. My favorite parts of their wedding include the custom cuff link’s made by Wiley’s relative, and an Italian Soda bar. They also had a very cute video interview about themselves and the bubble send off worked really well!

You just realize how nice and genuine Jerae and Steve are the moment you meet them. They are super sweet together and a joy to work with. Their wedding reflected their easy going and fun personalities. One of my favorite details was Jerae making her own brooch bridal bouquet with brooches from Ebay and Etsy (and lace around the handle is from a family heirloom wedding dress). Mike Piper with An Affair To Remember did a wonderful job with the flowers and Garden Vineyards is such a gorgeous location to start out with, not much needs to be done!
The wedding favors are seeds to plant! One of my favorite things is the presence of kids at weddings, and there were quite a few super cute kids! Oh cake is by Beaverton Bakery, and hair and make up was by Heidi Cuthbert of National Beauty. The DJ is one of my favorites, Maushole Productions. Food, amazing as usual, is from Art of Catering.
Enjoy!

This is one of my favorites: The groomsman on the right forgot to turn off his cell phone, and of course it rang during ceremony. The ring bearer’s reaction is priceless!

Casey and Luke’s McMenamins Edgefield Administrator’s House wedding was simply full of vintage charm, color and warmth. Casey did most of the details herself. With such a group of fun people, everything turned out beautiful. Kay Dietl of Flowers For You brought to life Casey’s vision of color wonderfully. And
Vagabond Opera, one of my favorite bands, rocked the crowd in their own unique fashion. The cake was an art work in itself, and that is thanks to Le Cookie Monkey! Casey’s beautiful vintage wedding dress and accessories made our life much easier as well! Luke also rocked his suit and groomsmen were wearing fun colorful socks! This was simply one of the most colorful weddings we photographed!
See the second photograph below for a very funny picture!

Jillian and Desi had a Turkish themed rooftop wedding at the On Deck Sports Bar in Portland on a beautiful summer day. I had the pleasure of photographing their Istanbul engagement pictures. Their wedding planner Mandi of Champagne Events helped them with some beautiful details and thanks to her, everything ran beautifully. They also had a great idea - instead of wedding cake, serve baklava! Of course, I knew where best Baklava in Portland was, so I steered them to 7 Hills Turkish Food Cart on 48th and Division (check it out!).
The flowers were by Floral Designs by Alicia, who is very talented as well. The wedding favors were Nazar Boncugu, or Turkish Evil Eyes, beautiful glass pieces that help ward off evil! The DJ was one of the top DJ’s in Portland: http://www.djalicious.com
