I loved working with Laurel and Gabe. They are a super sweet couple that was also relaxed and fun! We started the day at Laurel’s parent’s house. Laurel’s dad David proudly showcased probably the most impressive guy shoes I have seen at a wedding – they glow! We then moved the Havurah Shalom. The couple signed their ketubah and then the ceremony itself was fun …

This was a very sweet intimate wedding at the beautiful Timberline Lodge, one of the most beautiful and Oregon-esk wedding venues around! Whenever we shoot there, you never know what to expect in terms of the weather, if Mt. Hood will be completely visible and that is part of the charm. Peter and Keely are a super sweet couple, and we were blessed that the …

I love couples that think outside the box! Jennifer and Nate in my opinion fits this well. They had a wedding at their apartment’s courtyard and then had a wine cellar wedding! How cool! Then they waved at everyone from their balcony. I knew I would like them a lot – we had a great engagement session around their place at the pearl district, and …

I had a blast working with Robin and Nolan and their little one, Gavin! The day started at The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon for getting ready. I had worked with Powder Inc before, but every time they outdo themselves! No exception this time. Robin looked beautiful. We then moved to The Reserve Vineyard and Golf Club, one of my favorite locations to shoot! When …

I met Sara at a Maui wedding I photographed. After seeing Jennie and Curan’s wedding pictures, they contacted me to photograph their wedding at China Harbor Restaurant in Seattle. We immediately hit it off. It was not until couple days before that I met Joe and immediately liked him. He is Italian and since I am also Mediterranean, I loved his upbeat personality! Asian weddings …

The ballroom at The Nines Hotel the day of the wedding was breathtaking. I’ve never seen anything like it at a wedding ceremony or reception. The beautiful white drapes up-lit by professional lighting courtesy of Greenlight Creative, and the thousands of orchids that came down the drapes, stringed together from the ceiling as backdrop, as well as the rest of the light flowers and ghost …

Sunil and Lindsey had a beautiful intimate wedding ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Beaverton. I had photographed Lindsey’s sisters wedding when I first started wedding photography and I was delighted that Lindsey approached us for her wedding as well. Sunil and Lindsey are a beautiful match and we were happy to cover their wedding full of sari’s (Sunil is Southern Indian) and family …

It was a gorgeous day in Sayulita, Mexico when Bonnie and Sean tied the knot at La Gran Villa at Villa Amor. The day before they had a wonderful rehearsal dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Sayulita, called Los Afortunados. When I walked in to the courtyard at the Grand Villa at Villa Amor to start shooting, I was impressed with how great …

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 …

Yassi and Ali’s Persian wedding at the Portland Art Museum was an amazingly fun event. Traditional Persian weddings have lots of details and Nora from Bridal Bliss did a wonderful job executing the vision of Yassi and Ali. The sofreh was exquisitely designed and decorated. On the table there was honey, and other pastries (ghrobiye and baklava) along with a mirror. The fantastic invitations explained …
