Esther and Russel had a fun filled wedding! The ceremony was at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and then the ceremony was at the fabulous Hotel Deluxe. I love the vintage look of Hotel Deluxe, which definitely made for some unique backdrops.
During the trip from the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, we spotted a beautiull rainbow and made good use of it! The water front was also great for some pictures as most people stayed indoors due to rain!

Lauren and Channing had a fun filled wedding at the Garden Vineyards. The day was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, the food was fantastic, and everybody had a great time! Michael Allen Harrison, pianist, and Tanner Johnson, violinist, performed great music for the guests. Teonna Earp was the coordinator and the florist, and it was some of the most creative and amazing flower arrangements I ever seen. Garden Vineyards was the perfect back drop for the wedding. I was also very impressed with how the cupcakes were hanging from a cupcake “tree”. Beautiful!
Lauren looked stunning in her Monique Lhuillier gown and Jimmy Choo shoes. Her hair was a beautiful vintage style.

Stacey and Lance had a swing dancing wedding at the Kruger’s Farm. They had swing dance instructors (amazing Melissa Roane) and also the fabuluous Midnight Serenaders as their band! Lance sported an amazing suit, and Stacey looked gorgeous in her wedding dress. Catering was by Vibrant Table and it was top notch, as usual. Stacey and Lance’s first dance was a well executed swing dance routine.
They also served pie instead of wedding cake. The baker was Mehri Bakery and the cakes were awesome. My tip for the night was a marionberry cake and it was delicious (thanks guys!)
I don’t know what it is about the Kruger’s Farms but this is the second wedding where the rings were forgotten for the ceremony there! It was funny, you can see in the pictures where the ring bearer says “I don’t know where they are!” Very funny!

Corinna and Julie tied the knot at the family Christmas tree farm. It was a beautiful affair! Julie had a custom suit made for herself at Duchess, a custom vintage inspired suit maker. Corinna had a beautiful colorful dress as well, and it was made by Elizabeth Dye at English Depot. Julie arrived at the wedding on a Kubota ATV driven by the two ring bearers!
One of the highlights was that the drinks were made by Mint Restaurant/Bar. Corinna told me that it was one of the first things they booked. The cocktails looked great and the guests really enjoyed them. What a cool idea! The catering was by Wild Pear catering in Salem, they did a great job! DJ was Dj Beyonda.
We later did a great photo shoot with Corinna’s sister’s horse. I love horses, so that was really fun for me!

I took some photographs at the first Portland Blues Dance competition at Portland’s Lenora’s Room. It was a very fun event and got some great black and white dance pictures of the dancers. The rest of the night was filled with great blues dancing as well!

Teresa and Alton’s wedding was held at one of our favorite venues, the Acadian Ballroom. Their ceremony was in the center of the ballroom with a stunning array of beautiful flowers from Event Floral that amplified the natural style of the ballroom itself. Once the ceremony was over the party began, big time! Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dancing. The works!
