Wedding

Paige and Tom
An Eastside Exchange Ballroom and Rooftop Wedding

I met Paige and Tom last winter around a campfire in Sunriver, Oregon at Kellen and Ty’s gorgeous wedding  and instantly knew they were lots of fun! Paige and Tom are a witty and stylish couple who met overseas and continued a relationship over years, oceans and many phone calls and decided on a simple yet elegant wedding this past spring at the stunning Exchange Ballroom. The couple had a intimate and private ceremony with only a few friends earlier that day at the courthouse. I love that they decided on a non-traditional approach to their wedding and hosted their family and friends for a wonderful dinner party and rooftop fun to celebrate their marriage! Their raw bar was one of the best I’ve seen (yes please!) and Vibrant Table really delivers on the delicious and beautiful food! Sammy’s Floral created the pretty flowers and Paige’s sweet slip dress was from Nordstrom. They included a ton of fun games including vintage arcade, darts and pool for guests to enjoy as well as a gorgeous sitting area for mingling. Needless to say, this couple brought lots of thought and love to their fun and beautiful wedding reception to the Eastside Exchange and I had a blast photographing it!

Baby

Leonidas Baby Shower!

Yeah for baby Leonidas! John and Julieth are a beautiful and kind couple who are expecting soon and with that comes a shower celebration for both the ladies and the gents!  With incredible styling and coordination for both showers from Nora with Bridal Bliss,  both nights were nothing short of perfection! The ladies gourmet dinner party was breathtaking in a gorgeous white tabletop with exquisite blooms from Zest Floral and a delicious menu from Art of Catering. The ladies had a baby shower to remember! Congrats Julieth and thank you Mary!

The fun guys night celebrated John’s new to-be fatherhood by taking a the Double Decker PDX bus around Portland for a night. With a bar stop at Circa 33, the gentlemen enjoyed cocktails, beer, parlor games and of course, a bottle chugging contest. they followed the night up with an excellent dinner at chef Jason French’s restaurant, Ned Ludd. (One of my personal faves!) SO much fun. Thanks Mark for documenting and congrats John!
