I love McMenamins weddings. The couples that tend to book such unique and Portland venues tend to be easy going and fun! Kat and Armen were no different! In this wedding at McMenamins Kennedy School, they bought their puppies to the wedding, had a unity wine (that they made!), lots of (very good) whisky, and in the middle of the reception, Armen surprised everyone when …

It is always a great honor to photograph good friend’s weddings. I have known Amy and Dan for years from swing dancing, and they are a super cute couple. They planned a lot of the details with help of friends, and decided to utilize Springhouse Cellar Winery at Hood River, Columbia Gorge. Of course no dancer would be complete without a great band so they …

In Venezuela, there comes a time in the wedding when all fun breaks loose. La Hora Loca is a party within a party, and to bring a high energy transition to the dance part of the reception from the more traditional first part of the reception! It is a no holds barred party where everybody dances like crazy. Well, this wedding was no different and …

Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast is one of my favorite places in Oregon to shoot. Such wonderful view, and owners are great people. They upgraded their property …

And lots of fun little touches like Salt and Straw ice cream, custom drawn hats, lots of sweets, and Sam was singing on his guitar as well! Enjoy! If you have friends who …

As most of you know, Multnomah Falls is a very popular destination in Portland area! Most people go to see the majestic Multnomah Falls, but there is a very good restaurant there called the Multnomah Falls Lodge that is really good and they do private events as well. Even though it is usually packed, we were able to get some great portraits for April and …

I do not have to carry any gizmo – the Control app just scans the card and reads the numbers (does not store the number). As a small business, accepting credit cards is a necessary evil. However, there are ways …

Nicole and Chris tied the rope at the beautiful Jamison Restaurant in the Pearl District of Portland. The wedding ceremony was at the Jamison Square park, by the sculptures with kids playing in the pool behind them. I love Jamison Park, a very quintessential Portland park surrounded by art and great restaurants. The couple gathered their friends in a small circle and had a short …

We totally hit it off with Garrett and Meredith when we met them to talk about their wedding at Administrator’s House at McMenamins Edgefield. They were very relaxed and fun people, and they both love double IPA’s and Garrett is a kick butt soccer player as well. In fact, I recruited him for my futsal team and we have been scoring goals for the last …

Leanne and Aaron had a very classy and elegant wedding at Portland Art Museum, one of my favorite Portland wedding venues! Vibrant Table did the catering and event design, and they outdid themselves in both! The Fields Sunken Ballroom was turned in to a beautiful set up with ghost chairs and mood lighting. The chuppah was amazing with flowers from Vibrant Flowers. I always love …
