Elopements

Hannah and Jacob
An Indigo and Bluehour Portland Wedding

Hanna and Jacob emanate goodness. They laugh a lot together, ask a lot of questions and truly make this world a better place. For real, he is a brain surgeon and she is a researcher for childhood developmental disorders. Needless to say after getting to know them better during their oh so fun urban engagement shoot I was beyond honored to photograph their classic and elegant wedding day. With a ceremony and reception at the award-winning Blue Hour restaurant the vibe was timeless class with a modern touch and I loved every detail! Spot-on coordination from Molli and her team at Soiree Wedding Planning, stunning blooms and beautiful Chuppah from Zest Flowers and a classic cake from Dream Cakes. This wedding was so pretty to photograph and filled with so much joy! Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your amazing wedding Hanna and Jacob!

Wedding

Allison and Marc
A Portland Art Museum Wedding Reception

Allison and Marc celebrated their wedding reception with a winter themed elegant party at the Portland Art Museum. They eloped in Greece earlier in the year so just wanted to have a big gathering of friends and family to celebrate their love! Elizabeth and her flawless crew with Bridal Bliss planned every detail perfectly. Zest created the stunning florals and Devil’s Food Catering delivered a delicious three course meal. Dream Cakes created individual wedding cakes for each guest and they were adorable and quite a hit among the guests! The dancing was off the charts awesome with DJ Chad Dowling! Congrats Allison and Marc! What a truly beautiful evening!

Wedding

Whitney and John
A West Linn Oregon Wedding

Whitney and John’s wedding was truly one for the history books. Whitney and John are one of those happy and laid-back couples that makes everyone they are around feel joy, and that’s exactly how to describe their wedding, joyous! Taking place on Whitney’s beautiful family farm in West Linn, it was pretty amazing that Whitney and John made history by being the first to host an innovative & elegant legal weed bar, complete with budtender. After going viral on USA Today, Huffington Post and so many more, this couple, along with the great help of Elizabeth Corr & the Bridal Bliss team have created a fun wedding trend that’s here to stay. With a heartfelt ceremony, stunning rustic flowers from Zest, and a forest filled with lights and live band, Pressure Point, the entire day, and well into the night, Whitney and John’s wedding was truly unforgettable.

Events

Oregon Bride Best Of Party

The Oregon Bride Best Of Party was the bridal event of the season! I had
the wonderful opportunity to document the day, which included the
highly anticipated awards ceremony and fashion show.The night started with a bang at the beautiful Oregon Historical Society with the Heathman Hotel catering, and a killer bar from Fluid Bartending. The decor looked incredible with lush oranges and modern whites. The
flowers by Zest set the tone and the coordinating and planning from
Bridal Bliss. Both very talented wedding professionals. Cupcake Jones and the Candy Buffet were on deck with yummy treats and a ton
of stunning gowns were strutted down the runway from a lot of my
favorite bridal boutiques. Hybrid Moon created a fun video and the night
was a total success! Thanks for the fun Oregon Bride, and as always, I’m loving the new
issue! Check out our “Local Weddings of Note” featuring Britt and
David’s darling September wedding!
