Emily+Ben::June 12 wedding at the Ecotrust Building

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:05:59 +0000

Finally, summertime! In the midst of gross weather in Portland this summer, there was this glorious sunny day in June, perfect weather for Emily and Ben’s rooftop wedding at the Ecotrust building in Portland’s Pearl District. This was the same location my husband and I chose for our wedding almost two years ago, so it’s near to my heart. It was a lovely ceremony filled with personal touches and stories about the bride and groom, who have known each other since they were in elementary school. So many of my couples have had personal friends act as officiants, and I have to say that I really love it. It makes the ceremony so personal and unique. As the sun set everyone enjoyed dinner and drinks, and a small pack of friends hit the dance floor to bring home the night…

Alexis+Jon::Hood River wedding, Part II

Bride and Groom portraits are always one of my favorite parts about any wedding. The setting around the Crag Rats Hut in Hood River was just breathtaking, and we set off for the nearby orchards, Hasselblad in tow.

Colleen+Tim: Wedding – Abernethy Center, Oregon City

There was a lot of hand-wringing and sky-watching the morning of Colleen and Tim’s wedding, as we were just getting into the late May/”June-uary” weather spell that’s left most of the Pacific Northwest wondering what we did to be punished with all this rain. Both of them very much wanted to hold their ceremony in the beautiful outside gardens of the Abernethy Center, instead of inside in one of the ballrooms. At some point, everyone just had to trust that it would hold off, and what a payoff! We even had 10 minutes of lovely sun during the ceremony; just a perfect touch. After a sweet, touching ceremony (goodness, I was even tearing up!), everyone headed inside to celebrate and share the love, even as the rain started pouring down shortly after.

Alexis and Jon are so great, so laid-back, and have a completely adorable dog Leroy, who did his best to steal the show during our engagement session in Oregon City. Alexis and Jon live in the neighborhood and found a great park high above the bluffs overlooking the Willamette…gorgeous! Can’t wait for their wedding in Hood River later this month…

Emily+Ben::Engaged

Emily and Ben had me completely cracked up. After insisting that they were the least photogenic people, Ben proceeded to completely ham it up throughout our shoot. This adorable couple met all the way back in grade school and have been together since high school (or, as Ben put it, he wore her down like Urkel and Laura…who doesn’t love a good Family Matters reference??). I’m really looking forward to their June wedding at the Ecotrust Building…where I got married!

Mandy+Brad:: Engaged

Mandy and Brad were actually my first couple to book a 2010 wedding, so right off the bat they’re special to me! We had a fun time wandering around the Saturday market area last Sunday (yes, it runs Sundays too, out-of-towners!). I *always* seem to forget how crazy it gets down there on nice days, but Mandy and Brad were real troopers, and we managed to find some quiet spots amid the chaos. Looking forward to their Memorial Day weekend wedding!

Laura+Brian Get Married: August 22

I’ve been a bad blogger. One busy month and no posts! But that does mean there will be many posts over the coming week. Here are a few from Laura and Brian’s wedding, which took place at the Hoyt Arboretum on August 22. It was a lovely, low-key wedding on a beautiful day.
Congratulations, Laura and Brian!

Heidi+David: Engaged!

Heidi and David are dear friends getting married in September in Ohio. I’m so excited for their wedding, but since I’ll be on bridesmaid duty, I wanted a chance to photograph them before the big day. As luck would have it, the two made an impromptu trip out to Portland and were game. We had a great time hanging out and shooting at the Ace Hotel, Powell’s, and throughout the Pearl district.
Congratulations, you two!
