What a gorgeous day for Meesa and Greg’s Fall and Celtic Themed Wedding! Just clear skies and lots fun! Pine Grove United Methodist Church is a super cute small church out at Hood River. After the ceremony the couple rang the church bells and then we drove to a pumpkin patch and got some great shots and then to an abandoned railroad warehouse.
Before we head out to the reception at McMenamins Edgefield Attic Room, the couple and their guests stopped at Apple Valley Country Store for some icecream and pie, yummy!

It is the season for small intimate church weddings! Brooks Hill Historic Church is just a beautiful small church on Skyline Boulevard at a very pretty setting. The reception was at the Lawrence Art Gallery in Portland. I love shooting at art museums and galleries because they have great lighting to showcase the art and backdrop of Picasso to the food table never gets old!
The reception highlight was the fun slideshow created and narrated by Katie’s dad!
Enjoy! Here is a small selection: (note: to see the full set, go to here - password required)

Vada and Geoff’s wedding was full of fun people. It started at Salon 77 with make up, then to hotel Vintage Plaza and then to Old Laurelhurst Church. The reception was at Acadian Ballroom with a very energetic crowd! At one point Geoff took over the drums and rocked the place 
There was even a cute pug present on the dance floor!
Here is a little slideshow if you want to see more photos than what’s below.
This is right after they walked down the aisle!
Geoff rocking!
lawnmower baby!
Right outside the ballroom there was a car accident where a SUV and truck collided. Nobody was seriously hurt but I wonder how fast they were driving to flip over at Al berta Street?

Kelli and Tom’s wedding ceremony had couple firsts for me! Kelli picked up her flowers at the farmer’s market that morning and got ready at Inn at Northrup Station, and then held their ceremony at the Laurelhurst Park. Public parks are great and inexpensive way to have a wedding at a beautiful location! Since the park is open to public we had joggers and bicyclest passing by and also cheers from a nearby family BBQ when Kelli and Tom shared their first kiss! The reception was at Bridgeport Brewery, a very classy looking place and the staff was very friendly! I have been Bridgeport Brewery for drinks in the past, and it is such a relaxing atmosphere for a Portland style wedding!

Katie and Tyler’s wedding was full of energy. One of the most touching moments was when Tyler sang for Katie at the ceremony. Just a perfect beautiful day, at a great setting with great flowers and decorations, by Geranium Lake flowers.

This was a very fun event at two great locations - Church in the Woods and Treasury Ballroom. After their original photographer had to cancel on them, Catharine and Ivan gave us a call. We were very happy that we had a chance to work with them as my associate did a great job (no surprise there) and came up with wonderful images. Here is a small sample, below. For the full set, please click here (password required). One of the cool ideas they had for their wedding was a “Cotillion” dance – Blush Bridal passed out hats and masks to everyone (Special hats for Bride, Groom and Parents). You can see some of it towards the end!

Here are some photographs from Halle and Todd’s wedding at Wine Country Farm. They had a lot of unique touches. Halle had secretly ordered hand carved chairs with their name engraved for Todd as a present. They had cupcakes instead of a wedding cake. It was a beautiful Oregon Wine Country wedding!
More and more people are using cupcakes as their wedding cake. The Saint Cupcakes are so amazing!!
