However, weddings at Sayulita have a special place in my heart as it was the first destination wedding I had booked in 2005, when Sayulita was a much much smaller sleepy Mexican fishing village, Don Pedro’s Restaurant being the only real restaurant around. I photographed my first …

Their wedding took place at the Portland City Grill – one of the most beautiful and unique locations in Portland, overlooking the whole …

There were lots of cute kids running around and the set up was lovely with an overcast weather. Jonathan rocked the bow tie and Zoe a birdcage veil. The flowers …

What a lovely and fun wedding at The Foundry at Lake Oswego! The air was filled with cottonwood which made the whole portrait session feel like snow fall in the summer! Natalie wore a lovely dress that looked amazing on her, and Nick had a great suit that was perfect for b&w’s – a very classic look. While the ladies were getting ready, guys were …

I love photographing weddings for my fellow dance friends, as there is sure to be a great dance performance for the first dance! And Andy and Kate did not disappoint at all! The wedding at Oaks Park Dance …

What a unique and fun couple Melissa and Surya are. Even after shooting 500 weddings, I found and experienced a bunch of new, unique things that day! Let’s start with the highlight – bride and groom’s friends secretly hired MarchFourth marching band to come in marching during the wedding at Left Bank Annex, surprising the couple. Marchfourh is an amazing, internationally acknowledged marching band with 20 musicians, …

This is the second snow covered wedding this year for us.
