Zenith Vineyards is one of the prettiest places to have a wedding in Oregon. Last vineyard wedding I shot there was completely outdoors, so I was excited to shoot the reception indoors this time. It is such a classy, elegant location. Of course, when you have a fun and photogenic couple, it makes my life easier too! Kyle is a professional soccer player who stole Brittany’s heart years ago. It was great to see their friends from school, from Adidas, and from other walks of life honor the couple at their most special day.

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!

Portland Art Museum’s recent exhibit, La volupté du goût: French Painting in the Age of Madame de Pompadour will be open from February 7 - March 17, 2009. To celebrate the exhibit, Portland Art Museum put on a gala. Curated by Philippe Le Leyzour, Director, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Tours, and Penelope Hunter-Stiebel, Consulting Curator of European Art, Portland Art Museum. The Portland installation design and interpretation were led by Chief Curator Bruce Guenther and Tina Olsen, Director of Education and Public Programs. This exhibition has received major organizational support from FRAME (French Regional and American Museum Exchange).
Vibrant Table did a tremendous job in decorating the event. Everything was top class. The resulting affect was amazing and it was one of the most wonderfully designed events we’ve ever seen produced from Vibrant Table! Music by Ruslan String Quartet and Design Band!
Here’s some of our favorite highlights from the event:

Vibrant Table was kind enough to invite me to their fun holiday party! Knowing how good a party they create at weddings, I knew it would be tons of fun! Everybody had a great time. Food was fantastic and also there were custom made flipbooks - I got one of me pretending to shoot - very entertaining!
Portland Center Stage is definitely one of the most elegant locations in Portland to have a wedding reception or a corporate party. I love the architecture as well, and the staff is super friendly.

I think one of the most “oh my god!” moment we saw shooting weddings happened at Allison and Michael’s wedding - Michael reached for the ring shortly before the ceremony, and then realized the rings were not there. The sequence is pretty cool (in hindsight) and the rings came in later after the ceremony and they did a mini ring ceremony. Everything else ran smoothly as Emee from EJP Events did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly.
Other cool thing highlights: Allison and Michael’s dog, from Oregon Humane Society, was their dog ring bearer (and did a great job!) and they also had a fire dancer!
Catering was done by Vibrant Table, and make up was by fabuluous Event Cosmetics. The scene was beautiful and I love oregon farm weddings!

Christine and Matthew were married in Salem’s Zenith Vineyard. The vineyard was in a beautiful rural area, we even crossed the Willamette River on a ferry boat to get there, it was pretty cool. Everything looked spectacular from the table settings and food by Vibrant Table to the flowers by Green Thumb. The whole day was quite remarkable, especially the sunset over the vineyards. There was also the super funky DJ Nickel that they brought up from LA who had the dance floor packed the rest of the entire evening. It was so much fun!

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.
