I know Sarah and Jonathan from swing dancing, and I was very honored when they picked me as their wedding photographer. We got some great shots at the Portland’s World Forestry Center in Oregon, - a unique area with very high ceilings. There was a lot of swing dancing as well!
(ps. I am reposting some weddings that got lost during my blog transfer. This is a wedding from couple years ago)

Anna and Jan came out from New York to have their wedding in beautiful Hood River, Oregon at the Cathedral Ridge Winery. The winery was a pretty cool place with views of both Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. As party favors they gave out mason jars filled with fresh blueberries. In the evening the sun sank below the horizon and the lighting became amazing, especially on Mt. Hood.

Michelle and Brian started their day at McMenamins Grand Lodge for their getting ready moments. Their hotels are great, you can spend hours at every McMenamins studying every detail and not see everything. Once we were finished we headed to Elk Cove Vineyards for the ceremony and reception. One gift that the couple received was amazing, it was a family crest made from over 1000 hand folded cranes!

After a Spring season full of rain Mother Nature decided to cooperate for Leila and Kyle’s Bridal Veil Lakes wedding. The setting was absolutely amazing, with a few little clouds in the sky. Leila and Kyle were married overlooking the lake on the bluff overlooking the Columbia Gorge. The reception was a great blend of music, food, drink, and a little surprise. A belly dancer provided by the Egyptian side of the family, it was awesome!

We found a sweet trail in the woods of Forest Park to take Rashree and Anthony to. The rain was coming down a bit more than we like so we headed to the Nines Hotel to capture some great images of the two in one of their favorite spots.
