Lauren and Ryan tied the knot at the gorgeous Portland Lan Su Classical Chinese Gardens. It was a super fun wedding, coordinated by Kerry Garrow of Signature Weddings and Events. The other vendors for this Portland Chinese Gardens wedding were like a best of the wedding vendors in Portland. Lauren and Ryan wanted a Portland theme wedding and allocated enough time for us to go around town on Portland wedding pedicabs (Portland Pedicabs). We got some amazing pictures going around town. The beautiful bridesmaids and handsome groomsmen did their part in making the day run smoothly as well! The getting ready was at Hotel Lucia. After Hotel Lucia, the wedding moved to Chinese Gardens. I had some unique toasting images and instead of the cake, they had amazing cupcakes from Cupcake Jones. The crowd danced until late hours with help from amazing DJ Eric Wright of All Wright Music. Delicious food was served on bamboo platters - perfect for the theme and the environment, thanks to Vibrant Table Catering and Events. Flowers are by A Floral Affair.

I had the opportunity to shoot Alaina and Bill’s intimate wedding at Vancouver’s The Grant House at the Officer’s Row. It is a beautiful building for an intimate wedding. Even though it was a shorter coverage for me, we still had some awesome photos! It was a very rainy day in the winter, but weather permitted us to get out and get some quick shots at one point as well! I also have to mention the beautiful and tasty cupcakes made by one of bride and groom’s friends!

It was a rainy and stormy day in Oregon that day - but the sun shined just enough for Brenda and Jimmy and we were able to do some outside shots at Camp Colton! Brenda and Jimmy are one of the nicest couples I met, and the day was as sweet as they were. They had an awesome candy bar which never hurts!
