My most favorite image of 2009 for all the right reasons.
Nicole's amazing Prada shoes make my heart flutter.
Their lovely letter press invites and unique rings, alongside the stunning bride, whose makeup was in the good hands of Nicole Wagner... Ahhmazing!
Love this image~ Beachum looking dapper wearing Dolce&Gabbana and Nicole transcended "bride" in her silver Vera Wang with a backdrop of modern day graffiti in SE Portland.
Love that the tables were named after the Portland precincts, and their favors were customized jam jars, created by the couple from Beachum's family recipe! The incredible Mandi Downs with Blush Bridal Consultation did an outstanding job making the day run smoothly.
The West End Theater fit their modern day vintage vibe perfectly.
Instead of the traditional cake cutting, the couple chose to break creme brule. (my personal favorite)
Considering this was our last wedding shoot of 2009, I can't contain my excitement about how incredible and perfect this wedding was. From the super hot style, the gorgeous flowers (created by Nicole's grandmother) to their first dance song by Neko Case, I couldn't have planned a more perfect day for this artistic couple. Nicole and Beachum are filled with compassion, sincerity and kindness and I'm so so so honored to have been in the presence of their family and friends as we celebrated their palpable love. Thank you so much to Nicole and Beachum for sharing the perfect wedding to close out a wonderous year of weddings. Love you guys big.

My grandparents are incredible and I'm so blessed to have them in my life! Shirley and Doug (aka Grams and Gramps) are super active and love tennis, bridge, their Christmas tree farm and their mystery club, which is this cool club they belong to that holds their meetings at a mystery location each month! I recently discovered these photos of them and wanted to share in the bliss.I love the wedding pic on the doorstep- taken 60 years ago! This photo is a testament to my passion and mission as a wedding photographer... To document timeless and endless love that future generations will smile about, if only for a moment.
Evonne & Darren Photography:
Congrats to your Grams and Gramps! Wow... 60 years, that is AMAZING! :)

In love with this photo and the way the light looks right after the rain. Mike and Ashley are a beautiful couple!
Gunner, their cute puppy tucked under the umbrella during the rain shower!

Thanks so much Ashley and Mike, I feel very honored to have documented your fun and festive photo shoot before Mike's deployment into Afghanistan. It takes a lot of courage and bravery to be there and our positive thoughts are with you all. Happy to hear that he will be back for the holidays:) Ashley and Mike- you guys were a blast to work with and hope you love the sneak peek!

Michelle and Dave's wedding and reception at David Hill Vineyards was vintage-inspired and romantic. Michelle and Dave are truly made for each other and watching their slideshow gives me goosebumps! Don't miss out on the wonderful Stevie Wonder song they chose, which was also their recessional song! To see full screen please click here.
