Engagement

Emily & Sam
A Portland Waterfront Engagement

Emily and Sam and I met up on a truly gorgeous fall day in Hoyt Arboretum and had a stunning view of the autumn colors in the trees. We then travelled to the East Bank on the SE waterfront for a sunset over the Willamette and the Portland Skyline. I loved their rad style Sam’s white suit coat and Emily’s black dress as they danced on the dock. These two intelligent and beautiful women met in grad school and knew the stars were aligned for love. They are planning a fun and elegant SE Portland wedding for this weekend!

Wedding

Desiree and Kate
An Urban Studio Pearl Wedding

Des and Kate’s wedding was full of pure joy, lots of happiness, and dinosaurs! Their wedding took place this past spring at the contemporary Urban Studio with Pearl Catering providing the yummy food! I was smiling all day during this wedding as the brides and their family and friends were so fun and laid-back. I loved their mis-matched farm chairs from Something Borrowed and their vintage rustic vibe. With awesome coordination from Natalia at Bridal Bliss, pretty flowers from Blum, tunes from Dowling Productions and a tarot card reader, this event was one for the books. Love wins always!

Sneak Peek
Laurie and Renee at Hip Chicks do Wine

I’ll never forget Laurie and Renee’s wedding at Hip Chicks do Wine, their awesome urban winery in SE. It was an honor to document, as my first legal full same-sex wedding in Oregon! Their pure joy filled the room and beyond and their love for each other and their business was nothing short of inspiring. Can’t wait to share more!
