Gorgeous fall colors, a beautiful sunset during ceremony, great decorations and food - what else can you ask for? Felisha and Chris are two naturally elegant people, and their wedding reflected that. A very intimate, family affair. Their programs were really cool - had a cute Calvin Hobbes cartoon at the back - check it out below! The getting ready was at the gorgeous Hotel Lucia.
They also had little wine glass suction cup wine charms which were really cool. They had mini lit up lanterns spelling their name as well!

This was a super fun wedding! The theme was The Shining, of course, this being at the Timberline Lodge. There were so many small touches! The couple are pharmacists so their place holders were medicine bottles, and they had little bits from The Shining at the wedding like a typewriter typing “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.
During the reception, they showed their spoof video of how Loren proposed to Angela, acting out The Shining the entire time. I love to get a copy of this video!!!
It was freezing outside, but Angela and Loren braved it to get some awesome photos. Angela looked gorgeous in her vintage inspired dress and head piece, while the whole wedding had color red as the theme. Loren has some handsome Converse shoes to match Angela. They had a Matrimony newspaper as a program, a rice ceremony, and a reading of the “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein during the ceremony.
I also think the wedding bouquet was one of the most interesting ones I have ever seen! Add to that, there was even remote attendance to the ceremony with a video conference! Check it out!

Adriane and Scott had a beautiful wedding at Eliot Chapel at First Unitarian Church and reception following at the Portland Embassy Suites. Adriane looked gorgeous in her dress. I am noticing a trend in wedding dresses: pockets!
The couple was walked down the aisle after they were pronounced husband and wife by a bagpiper. The hair pieces by August Veils were very elegant, and Embassy Suites was gorgeously decorated . Another cool idea Adriane had was to throw a gift bouquet - it had cash and gift certificates! Event Cosmetics team did a great job with the hair and make up!

Gina and Austin had their wedding at a beautiful vineyard overlooking the vineyard and the hills of Hillsboro. They had a bit of an “Oregon” wedding with a slight downpour, but they were troopers! Gina even picked up some galoshes from Fred Meyer right before the ceremony. Gina’s sister helped out by making the wedding cake, which looked awesome.

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!

Erika and Kemal were married in the sculpture garden at the Portland Art Museum. Their party then went inside to the sunken ballroom, beautifully decorated and catered by Vibrant Table. We got a chance to sneak away to get some photos by the “Portland” sign by the Arlene Schnitzer Concert hall, Kenny G was playing that night!

Molly and Chris had their wedding on Abigail’s Garden at the Abernethy Center in Oregon City. It was a very casual event with lots of great moments! A few of the best was during the father of the brides speech he mimicked Molly and Chris’ first date at the movies! Also, Molly’s sister was part of the band that played during the reception, they were great! One of the funnest things about this job is seeing something new and really unique. This wedding had two really cool things. One, was life like bobble head dolls of Molly and Chris, and the second was the grooms cake, a black dragon with a chocolate cake sphere sculpted by Chris’ grandma. Too cool!
