Amy and Kevin are a super duper sweet couple who are high-school sweethearts! Don't you just love, love!?

Love the colors and the girls cute dresses... they even had pockets!

A beautiful bride! Lovely makeup and hair by Kristen Ariniello.

awww, the proud grams.

The King Estate is a stunning venue with picturesque views, beautiful vineyards, organic lavender fields and incredible wine and food!

The first glance.

l.o.v.e.

Wowzers! The lovely rings.

Amy was a music major, so a lot of the guests in attendance were incredible musicians!

The wedding party looking good!

Sparklers as party favors, yummy cake and cupcakes by Sweet Life, the awesome JHP sign-in book in action.

The toasts were great, filled with tears, laughs and a lot of clinking!

Kevin's grandpa wore this suit to HIS wedding 60 years ago. This makes me happy!

Wed on July 3rd in Eugene, Amy and Kevin's afternoon wedding was colorful, fun, and laid-back yet very classy. Set in rolling hills of vineyards, organic lavender and forests, the King Estate Winery was quite impressive. As soon as I pulled up I was in awe at the amazing beauty. The sun and blue sky were perfect and A&K were gleaming and happy. They are a kind-hearted and relaxed couple and the wedding fit their style perfectly! I'm SO thrilled to have documented their day! Thanks so much A&K and hope you love the sneak peek!

Nicole and Beachum's Wedding Album

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:47:22 -0800

Check Nicole and Beachum's jaw-dropping, lush wedding album. Love the cover, that doesn't scream "wedding" so they an keep it on their coffee table for years to come. Their vision was to make it look like a large coffee table art book. Success!

This 11x14 album (our biggest and baddest album) features the metal cover, and I LOVE the image they chose - so unconventional! Check out Nicole and Beachum's wedding here; you'll see unconventional is kind of their thing.

I am smitten with this album, and especially the yummy orange suede and offbeat pictures they chose - Nicole and Beachum, hope you love it!

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:43:58 -0800

Rachel and Anthony are a beautiful couple with big hearts.

Something Blue!

A sweet moment between Rachel and her mom.

A Cinderella moment in the limo. Love her shoes!

Portland in the house! This is one of my favorite pics, and it will mean a lot to the couple very soon, as R&A are moving to NYC soon!

The Portland rain didn't stop Rachel and Anthony from having a blast and gallivanting around with Erica and I while we took fun photos!

The amazing Jordan with Blum Designs in Flowers created the stunning bouquets and boutonnieres using fresh hydrangeas.

haaaaay.. The guys looking fly.

This makes me cry happy tears. SO in love!

The roof top terrace at EcoTrust is a stunning place to say your I Do's.

The venue is so very hip and urban with an elegant, yet eclectic feel.

Saint Cupcake created the lovely tower of treats, and the favors were environmentally friendly grocery bags for the guests.

It was a super fun party with awesome music, dancing and friends!

Rachel and Anthony are an intelligent and incredible couple who recently tied the knot on top of EcoTrusts roof in the heart of the Pearl District. The wedding party was a ton of fun and R&A could not have been happier! Rachel and Anthony met here in Portland while Anthony was in town for business, and now business is moving them to NYC for an awesome job opportunity. R&A - I wish you the best of life, happiness always and don't forget to write! Portland will miss you! xoxo Hope you love the sneak peek!

Love this pic of Dale and Chan, who you may remember from their 2008 wedding!

Tram and Souk, Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your wedding was beyond inspiring and enchanting.

The garden in Oregon City's Abernethy Center was elegantly decorated with lanterns, lights and rich colors.

Kim & Brian | Portland Engagement Photos

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:35:41 -0800

Love this image..

Kim and Brian are both musicians and played a tune. It happen to be one of my personal faves too... Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show.

K&B are a fun loving and relaxed couple and I'm SO excited to be a part of their wedding!

Kim and Brian and I all met up recently for an incredible photo session in SE Portland. Banjo's, Guitars, VW's and concert T's... we had a lot to choose from. K&B own a VW, but they live in Seattle, so it was magic that we saw a few parked on the street. Little did we know that there was someone inside! Dear VW guy- Thanks for letting us use your bus for the pics. Kim and Brian are getting married at the beautiful Resort at the Mountain in Welches OR and I am really looking forward to documenting this lovely couple on their wedding day!

Portland Photo Booth in the house!

Dave and Andrea sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g! I recently had the pleasure of documenting Andrea and Dave's June wedding at the Garden Vineyards Estate. Their red and blue color scheme and their lovebird theme made everyone smile and found inspiration in every nook and cranny. They created an elegant and vintage-inspired wedding with contemporary and fun elements. Andrea and Dave both live in the Bay area, but Andrea grew up here and has a lot of family in Oregon. Their family and friends celebrated into the night while the band played on. Hope you love the sneak peek A&D! Big Hearts!

Kami and Brett are an incredibly compassionate and sweet couple with great style!

The World Forestry Center is a very cool spot for a wedding! Located in Washington Park, the landscape and the architecture are incredible.

This moment between Kami and her mom makes me smile.

Kami and Brett met beneath the Hawthorne Bridge while they were parking their cars, and it was love at first sight. Their wedding had a lot of incredible and fun moments and I'm so happy that I was able to document it! I love the juxtaposition between the traditional and classic, mixed with the modern and urban environments. K&B, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love!

The vintage outfits at Union Station make this timeless and classic!

Hope you love the sneak peek L&D and I can't wait for your wedding!

Danielle & Sean - Riverplace Hotel Wedding

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:52:47 -0800

Danielle and Sean are fun loving and awesome couple that tied the knot on May 29th at The Riverplace Hotel on Portland's stunning waterfront.

I fell in love with Danielle's "something blue" these jaw-dropping Gucci diamond and topaz earrings. *gasp and smile*

Danielle looked incredible in her Nicole Miller gown.

Getting ready for the first glance, so sweet.

Lacy with Form and Flora created the stunning bouquets and centerpieces. I love how each bouquet is different!

The guys looked goooood!

We lucked out because D&S wedding took place during Rose Festival and these incredible flags were right next to the hotel entrance! Love this pic that Liam captured.

Danielle and her Dad walking down the aisle. Love this moment and a special thanks to Dad's everywhere :) Loved the view from the courtyard, where the ceremony was held.

What up newly weds!?

This candid pic really shows how sweet and adorable D&S are together. They are kind-hearted and fun to be around!

Really touching, yet funny toasts from the BM and MoH.

oh yeah cake! The beautiful and yummy cake by Helen Bernhards Bakery.

Love love love this one.

I'm not sure if it was playing, but when I look at these I seem to remember "To the Window- To the Wall..." and then I want to dance.

Danielle and Sean are a down to earth and relaxed couple who are fun, witty and charming. Although it was pretty gray and rainy during the morning, they were really calm and just sort of knew that their courtyard ceremony would take place, no sweat. And did it ever! The sky was blue, the clouds were perfect and the colors of Portland's waterfront and their nautical inspired palette shined on! The blues and whites looked great with the wonderful orange bouquets. The Riverplace Hotel was an incredible venue to host an even more incredible wedding. Thank you so much D&S.. You guys rock and I hope you heart the sneak peek!

Tiff & George - Garden Vineyards Wedding

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:26:34 -0800

Garden Vineyards is take-your-breath-away venue with vistas and gardens in every nook and cranny. A picturesque dream.

Tiff and her dress were stunning and she found it at the incredible Divine Designs Bridal Shop in NW Portland.

A handsome scene!

Yeah sister love!

T&G are just as compassionate and kindhearted as they are gorgeous!

A touching and beautiful ceremony. The super cool and ridiculously talented Paul Rich shot along side me and captured this beautiful pic during the ceremony.

Love this pic!

Their awesome dog Vivi was the ring bearer!

The "OMG those are incredible" flowers were created by the gifted ladies at Quince.

The tables were named after locations that T&G had traveled to together. The invites, table cards, menus and name holders were crafted with love by the brilliant Julie with Studio Olivine.

The excellent food and staff provided by Art of Catering.

George is in a band and all of his talented band mates and friends performed during the ceremony and cocktail hour.

Yes, T&G are so cool they had Voodoo Doughnut in lieu of a wedding cake. Their personal doughnut was the maple bacon heart... mmm true love and bacon!

Karaoke From Hell provided the kick ass entertainment with a live band and karaoke from Tiff and George's family and friends. George performed a few songs and has an awesome voice!

Tiff and George are a terrific couple and they had an incredible wedding. Although it rained here and there during their wedding, the sun came out and shined at the perfect moments creating breathtaking memories throughout the magical day. Tiff and George are true soul mates and it was wonderful to witness their family and friends celebrating their love. Thank you SO much T&G for inviting me to document your surreal day. Your wedding really proves that love can turn and gray sky blue. Big love

Jenni & Kyley | Portland Engagement Photos

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:12:48 -0800

Jenni teaches at Barre 3 in the Pearl and we were able to photograph inside during the rain for some awesome pics! How bad ass is this pic!?

Love all these pics that truly embody J&K's personalities! check out Barr 3 for an awesome workout that combines ballet barre, yoga and pilates!

My personal fave. Love the elements of nature coming together here!

What a hot couple!

Another fave. Check her eyelashes! Wow!

Their Pearl apt. is ultra hip and has great light and color!

Jenni and Kyley and I all met up recently for a quintessential Portland photo shoot, with a little bit of sun and a lot of rain. Luckily, J&K live in the Pearl and we had a few awesome opportunities to duck for cover and create personal pics of the couple in their hip apartment, and in the courtyard of the impressive building. They are also in the process of selling their space, so these pics will be really meaningful after they've moved and can reminisce about their first space together as a couple. I'm really looking forward to their Aug. 28th wedding and hope they love the sneak peek!
