Mai and Jason
A Blue Hour Portland Wedding Reception
A darling frenchie named Mean Joe Green, a gorgeous couple, a rooftop and Bluehour Restaurant? What could be better? Mai and Jason celebrated their Santorini, Greece wedding with immediate family and friends in Portland, Mai’s hometown. Surrounded with kindness, and love, the couple relived their gorgeous wedding day through images, and stories and many of those who couldn’t celebrate with them, did have an amazing night to remember. Bluehour was decorated for the holiday season, which made the ambiance that much more perfect. Thanks for inviting me to document your intimate and wonderful Portland celebration. xo

A Woodsy Oxbow Park Wedding
“But darling, you are the only exception” The only exception by Paramore
I recently had the honor of photographing a woodsy and magical picnic wedding celebration at Oxbow Park. April and Sam actually had a wedding in both of their birthplaces: Portland and India and wanted to celebrate with close family and friends with a fun picnic, croquet, yummy potluck and lots of darling photos. I love April’s dress, made by her very talented friend Rebekah Fink, and the locally picked wild flower bouquets. Hope you love the sneak peek A&S!
