Dana could not stop smiling all day long. It is so fun to work with couples who are so relaxed on their wedding day!
We started the day at the Benson Hotel where she was getting ready, wearing her comfortable slippers. Though she secretly wanted to wear those to her wedding, she changed into her gorgeous dress. Later, her walking in the same dress down the aisle left Brandon speechless.
The reception was at the Treasury Ballroom. What a unique place for Portland to have. It is great for intimate weddings with a classy feel. They had a sweets/candy bar! Not much was left at the end of the day! Dana and Brandon got serenaded by the bridesmaids later. Brandon’s little niece was lots of fun to listen to!

We photographed an exciting Night of the Henna event at the exquisite Nines Hotel in downtown Portland. The bride, Eman, is the daughter of famous designer Fiona Cibani, so every detail was creatively designed and executed. The night was filled with many interesting nuances ranging from live gold fish in the table center pieces to the exotic Middle Eastern belly dance by Astryd Farah deMichel. The festivities were perfectly coordinated by Jules Rupae of Another Perfect Production and Morgan Griffin of the Nines Hotel. The staff at the Nines Hotel were amazing to work with.
Other fun details were: Pearl necklaces were given to all ladies who attended as favors, great cocktails such as Mango honey, a great Middle Eastern band, henna ceremony with cake and henna candle.

Recently we joined Lauren and Channing (of Portland Trailblazers) for a fun and romantic engagement session at their home along the Willamette River and down into the neighborhood and near the river. Of course, their two bulldogs (American and British bulldogs) joined us for the shoot as well - who can say no to these cute pups! We’ll be shooting their wedding later this summer.
Here some highlights from the engagement session -
Jill and Robert were married at the sophisticated Governor Hotel, located right in the heart of downtown Portland. A favorite spot for us! The evening started out with some getting ready photos of Jill and her bridesmaids, including Rob’s daughter. After some formal family photos in the lobby, Jill & Robert took off for some romantic photos around the hotel. It’s always a fun challenge for us to blend locations around the hotel we already know of and love, but to also find some hidden areas that we get to discover for the first time.
The ceremony took place in the intimate setting of the Renaissance Room. Immediately following, we moved into the Grand Ballroom for dinner, toasting, and dancing to both celebrate and bring in the new year!
In case you could not figure out, the bride and groom are big time Portland Trailblazers fans! Another cool idea: their cake topper was a pez dispenser. Their table settings had pictures of current and past Trailblazers.

Teri and Andrew joined us last week for their engagement session that took place at the historical Irving Park, in NE Portland. Their wedding will be later this month at the gorgeous St. Patrick Cathedral located in NW Portland and Kell’s Irish Pub, downtown Portland.
Here are some of our favorite shots from the afternoon -
Taylor and Nathan were married at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro. I love shooting this area, it’s so woodsy and romantic! They were married in the old octagonal barn nestled within the changing leaves of fall. Their ceremony was overlooked by a wise old barn owl perched in the rafters above the couple. Taylor and Nathan prepared all the decorations for the event. I especially love the mason jars with candles they used to light the interior of the barn with, but the pumpkins are pretty cool too!
We had a lot of fun at Lauren and Keith’s wedding! Cowboy boots and hats, mariachi band, gay and lesbian party going on upstairs!
We started the day at Elk Rock Gardens of the Bishop’s Close, a fantastic place! The ceremony was at the Christ Church Episcopal Parish in Lake Oswego, and then the reception was at the beautiful Portland Art Museum Fields Ballroom. The planning was done expertly by Amy from Blush Bridal, flowers were by Francoise Weeks. The museum looked beautiful with all the decorations and flowers. The couple even had a mariachi band to entertain the guests during the cocktail hour. Event Team NW entertained the guests with expert DJ’ing.
Meanwhile another fun event was happening at the Kridel Ballroom - Coronation 2008 by Rose Court. This provided some interesting photography opportunities. Everybody had lots of fun, and Lauren and Keith even got to check out the upstairs party for a bit. The night ended with a beautiful dance by bride and groom surrounded by guests holding candles.
