Jenny and Sean’s Wedding at the Portland Art Museum

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!

Riza and Wayne’s Wedding at the Portland Art Museum

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!

Brandi and Andrew’s Wedding at World Trade Center in Portland (Associate Coverage)

Brandi and Andrew started their morning off at the Vancouver Hilton getting ready for their big day.  Once everybody was ready they all headed to St. James Catholic Church a few blocks away. Brandi and her father had the best ride though in her dad’s super cool vintage car!  Their ceremony was at Vancouver St. James Church, which has one of the most stunning ceilings I’ve ever seen!  After the ceremony their friends and family lined the steps of the church to greet them with bubbles as they exited the church.   We drove South to the East Portland waterfront for some fun and romantic photos afterward.  For the reception we headed to the West side’s Portland World Trade Center, which is an amazing downtown location with graced with abundant glass architecture with dramatic views of the Willamette River and  the Salmon Street Fountain. I love the lighting at Portland World Trade Center, just yummy!

Treasury Ballroom Wedding of Leslie and Nick (Associate Coverage)

Leslie and Nick had their wedding in Portland on the rooftop of the Portland Historic Treasury Ballroom. We love rooftop weddings in Portland!

We got some great ceremony shots of Leslie and Nick featuring some of Portland’s more famous buildings on top of the rooftop terrace of Portland Treasury Ballroom. For their wedding cake, they had a great idea - truffles from a uniquely Portland chocolatier, Moonstruck Chocolates Truffles! After the wedding ceremony, the guests enjoyed great catering of food and drinks by Vibrant Table while Andy, from A Sound Choice was making the dance floor come alive with the wedding guests with his mixes! We also did some pictures of the wedding couple in front of Portland Treasury Ballroom!

Heather and Ryan - A Treasury Ballroom Wedding

Treasury Ballroom is a very unique place - it has a beautiful ambiance and a huge safe at one side. I don’t write too much in my posts as I want the photos to speak for me, but I just want to say that we had a great time.

Cheri and Dock at Crystal Ballroom

This was a very fun wedding to shoot! Cheri and Dock are great people. They recently went through a very hard time with Cheri’s mom passing. But it seemed like it brought all the family together. It was a very touching wedding throughout. The reception was at the Crystal Ballroom, my favorite place to dance! I have been looking forward to shooting there for a while! The decorations were top notch!

I am more of a right brain engineer kind (except photography, I guess!) but these kind of events makes you wonder: Cheri asked her mom on her last days to send her a signal that she was there at the wedding. As soon as Cheri started walking down the aisle, the whole church shook. It was incredible!

Here are some photographs from their wedding:

Kim & Troy, Baseball Wedding

Kim & Troy’s wedding featured a baseball theme - from singing “Take me out to the ballgame” to serving peanuts to having the dance floor decorated like the baseball field. They both played baseball in college and Troy also played professionally for a while.

The decorations were first class at the Governor Hotel - linens were brought in specially from Seattle by the couple’s wedding planner. Another interesting note was that Kim’s brother played his guitar at the ceremony and also at the reception (with his band). Another interesting part was at the rehearsal - right after the rehearsal, the group took the specially reserved Portland Street Car around town where Premier catering served some great drinks and hors d’oeuvres. It was also the grandparents anniversary and they got married at the same church (First Christian Church)!
