I’m beyond excited to have Erika and James’ Benson hotel and Blue Hour wedding from last October featured in the Summer/Fall 2013 edition of Portland Bride and Groom! Not only is this publication beautiful, but it’s also a great collection of ideas, inspirations and gorgeous photography! Needless to say, I’m honored they chose a real wedding that I photographed! Thanks so much to Erika and James for sharing their story and pictures for us all and a special thanks to all the incredible vendors who helped make E&J’s wedding picture perfect!

Kelsey and Josh and their super cute boxer Cassius, met up with me recently at the remarkable Allison Inn in Newberg Oregon. This couple is super sweet together and gorgeous! Their engagement day started out rainy, but luckily the Allison had a ton of incredible indoor spots for photos, like the beautiful pool and perfect spiral staircase. Kelsey and Josh actually dated in high school and went to prom together! After reuniting a few years later, the love was true and obvious (and the glitter, Boyz II Men and prom dress sleeves were no longer in the way!) and they will be saying their I Do’s at the Left Bank Annex this September. I’m so excited for their wedding day, it’s going to be a blast!
The vintage wallpaper in Cat and Sam’s apartment is simply wonderful, but not as great as this beautiful, kind and creative couple. Cat and Sam live in Ann Arbor, they met in DC and they are getting married in Oregon this summer. I met Cat when she was the maid of honor at Callie and Andy’s unforgettable wedding. This photo shoot was especially inspiring for me because I lived in Ann Arbor for over 6 years and that’s where I started my career in wedding photography while earning my BFA in Photography from the University of Michigan. Cat and Sam are both graduate students at UofM and it was so fun to hear and see how things are the same, yet so different. We discovered hidden ivy walls, rode bikes and had too much fun at at a bar called bar. Needless to say, I cant wait for their wedding.
