The hip new Pure Event Space in the NW industrial Pearl district is incredibly spacious, light, clean and stylish. West Coast Event Productions is the force behind this awesome space and did breathtaking work with the design and layout. The clean and modern design was minimal, yet elegant with a fresh "green" feel. West Coast hosted the open house and wow-ed all in attendance! Complete with several water walls and fresh greens throughout, the industrial space felt uplifting and welcoming. I highly recommend the Pure Space for your wedding or event!

SE-Portland-Photographer10.jpg Tram and Souk are an intelligent, creative and kind-hearted couple that love to laugh and love! This candid pic really depicts their great energy together.

SE-Portland-Photographer5.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer6.jpg We loved this old truck we found parked in SE Portland. It was a perfect backdrop for some cool pics!

SE-Portland-Photographer3.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer8.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer9.jpg  SE-Portland-Photographer11.jpg Souk proposed to Tram at Le Pigeon with Saint Cupcakes spelling out "Will you marry me?" See the actual cupcakes here -Super sweet and thoughtful!

SE-Portland-Photographer12.jpg  SE-Portland-Photographer2.jpg SE-Portland-Photographer1.jpg Stepped into Le Pigeon for some spontaneous pics to really bring a new meaning to "Engagement Photos!"

Tram and Souk are having a July wedding that I'm so excited to be a part of. Tram and Souk are lovely and we had a great time walking around SE Portland to capture some awesome photos. We collaborated about making the images have a double meaning. Instead of the normal park engagement photos, we really told the story of their proposal in a creative and fun photo documentary way using location and props to tell the story. (Who doesn't like cupcake props!) Special thanks to the new and always yummy, Saint Cupcake Deluxe and to Le Pigeon, an incredible French inspired restaurant serving beautiful farm fresh food. Can't wait for your wedding and hope you love the sneak peek T&S!

The last photo, and the black and white in the coffee shop, with their heads together, are my favorites! What a great use of a fun urban neighborhood.

Se_Portland_Engagements.jpg one of my personal faves!

Se_Portland_Engagements2.jpg Se_Portland_Engagements3.jpg Se_Portland_Engagements7.jpg Se_Portland_Engagements1.jpg Se_Portland_Engagements4.jpg Se_Portland_Engagements5.jpg Danielle and Sean are super fun and we had a blast on the photo shoot. I couldn't stop laughing with them!

Se_Portland_Engagements6.jpg Se_Portland_Engagements8.jpg Yes, this is their campaign poster of love.

Se_Portland_Engagements9.jpg Danielle and Sean are in love with laughter, fun and each other. We met up recently at Laurelhurst Park in SE Portland and they brought some fun props like bubbles, candy and American flags that were made in China.... We laughed a lot and had a great time gallivanting around the park finding cool backdrops for the pics. I'm super excited to photograph their May wedding, which is right around the corner. Hope you love the pics D&S!

Francoise_Weeks_Flowers1.jpg Francoise_Weeks_Flowers4.jpg Francoise is a wonderful woman and talented florist who works out of her incredible studio in SE Portland.

Francoise_Weeks_Flowers3.jpg I loved the woodlands class, and I highly recommend taking it if you love nature.

Francoise_Weeks_Flowers2.jpg Francoise_Weeks_Flowers.jpg Francoise Weeks is an incredible European Florist who specializes in weddings and events. I was able to attend her woodland class last week and loved learning all about arrangements and the organic natural elements that go into these designs. Francoise taught me to look at my yard and garden differently and to explore the various textures of different plants and leafs within the design. My finished design is on the left hand side of the bottom image, and Francoise's is on the right. Francoise is great and I definitely recommend her! Check out her website here: www.francoiseweeks.com

Portland_Engagements.jpg I heart this couple and this image.

This last pic makes my heart smile. I'm so honored and excited to photograph Tiffany and George's wedding this May at the stunning Garden Vineyards. I just found out that their wedding "cake" is Voodoo Doughnuts, and that's what they will be cutting together on the big night. So fun and awesome. Hope you enjoy the sneak preview Tiff & George and I can't wait to document your first dance into this beautiful dreamy life together as husband and wife.
