Melanie+Ben::Wedding at Vibrant Table Loft

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:43:07 +0000

Melanie and Ben had a gorgeous, laid-back brunch wedding back in June. I started off the morning joining Melanie and the ladies at Green Salon, where they were all busy getting ready, and after a few pictures, we headed off to Vibrant Table Loft in SE Portland for the wedding.

Melanie wore a beautiful and quietly elegant Jenny Yoo gown…

The delicious and beautiful cake from my favorite Cuban restaurant, Pambiche!

Melanie’s niece, Myra, acted as flower girl, and was quite the scene-stealer throughout the day…

Just across the street from Vibrant Table is a great Mexican restaurant; I couldn’t help but get these two in front of the bright and colorful murals.

Bride’s Dress: Jenny Yoo

Confession: I’ve been holding this wedding in my pocket since I heard, but now I can share: It’s being featured at Ruffled this morning!

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

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…

K+M::Sneak Peak: Rehearsal Dinner

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 17:45:14 +0000

Prior to last Thursday night, I’d never had the chance to meet Kalisa and Mitch in person. Living in Minneapolis, we handled everything over the phone and email for their destination wedding on Mt. Hood. I can’t say enough how excited I was to work with these two. They put on a beautiful and stylish wedding full of love and laughter. While I keep cracking on all of the photos from their wedding day, here’s a sneak peak from the night before at their rehearsal dinner at an amazing home in Hood River, OR.

Stay tuned for their wedding post…

Evie::Family Portraits

Lately I really have been feeling like I have the best job in the world, and this shoot was a perfect example. I get to hang out with great people, coo over ridiculously cute babies, and just capture all that love on camera. I’ve known Viktoria and Justin for a couple years now, and am just so thrilled for them and three month-old baby Genevieve.

Colleen + Tim: Engaged

admin — Thu, 13 May 2010 18:40:02 +0000

When we started talking about locations for Colleen and Tim’s engagement shoot, Colleen mentioned from the beginning that they’d love to incorporate Tim’s motorcycle. I thought that was a great idea and suggested we head up to Council Crest Park in Portland, with a gorgeous, commanding view of the city and Mt. Hood. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite as clear and sunny as we were hoping for, but I think the view is still quite lovely. Colleen and Tim are getting married next week in Oregon City – congratulations!!

Alexis+Jon::Engaged

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…

Mandy+Brad:: Engaged

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 18:46:11 +0000

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!

Pacific Pug Rescue

Everyone who knows me knows that I have a thing for pugs. In fact, since Jeremy and I adopted our second pug Tyson a few months ago, we can officially be termed pug people. Going through Pacific Pug Rescue for both of our pugs allowed us to get the breed we wanted while helping out a dog that truly needed a good home. I can’t say enough good things about adopting from them – they’ve been a wealth of information and support.
Since March I have been volunteering my time and photography by taking pictures of all of the pugs that PPR has up for adoption. Having been on the other side of the process, I know the importance a good picture can make when thinking of a prospective pet. I’m so proud to be a small part of helping these sweet little dogs find their forever homes.

Oh my goodness…how sweet is Sally? Her smiling was so contagious. Such a personality!
