Yassi – Ali’s Persian Wedding at the Portland Art Museum!

Portland Wedding Photographer - February 5, 2013

La Gran Villa at Villa Amor Wedding of Bonnie and Sean in Sayulita, Mexico

Darcy and Joil’s Wedding at The Elysian Ballroom

Portland Persian Wedding
Sayulita Wedding at Villa Amor

The Elysian Ballroom is the new name of the Crown Ballroom – same location, different owners and completely different look. I was sad that Crown Ballroom was closed as I loved working with Ravel and Julian (the previous owners) so I was excited to hear that highly respected Mr. Mike Piper took over the location, and sure enough, did a tremendous job!

Darcy and Joil were referred to me by a good photographer friend of mine. I was immediately warmed up to their warm personality and knew that it would be a really fun time. And it surely was. We had a great time working together. Raven, who was one of  the previous owners still helped with coordinating and she is a delight to work with. The getting ready was at the Hotel Vintage Plaza, a favorite location to shoot for me as well!

One of my favorite details was the desert table – I like that approach a lot as a good alternative to having a large cake! So many great ones from Pix Patisserie!
