Capturing Christina and Isaac’s timeless and modern wedding was a dream! The couple got ready at The Nines Hotel, a contemporary and stylish luxury hotel located in the heart of downtown Portland. Christina looked so chic in her BHLDN wedding gown; a perfect combination of simplicity and intricate detail. Her classic flower arrangements, created by the talented team at Geranium Lake, complimented the bride’s ensemble exquisitely. The groom’s style was on point in his custom created tux by Suit Supply. Isaac even incorporated a creative detail by adding an embroidered inside joke that he and Christina had shared during law school into the lining of his jacket. The architecture of our iconic Portland photo locations, The Treasury and The Benson Hotel, were stunning and really encapsulated the vibe of the couple’s wedding day. Bold lines and modern shapes met with the historic elegance of the structure made for the ultimate venue composite. Christina and Isaac looked right at home with one another amidst the sleek corinthian columns. Following an intimate civil ceremony, Christina and Isaac treated their guests to an incredible experience at their contemporary Bluehour Restaurant reception! Guests had the pleasure of indulging in a 5 course meal that included caviar, Dom Perignon Champagne, and a beautifully minimalistic cake provided by Bluehour. Friends and family enjoyed each other’s company as they danced and celebrated the happy couple’s special Portland wedding day. I can’t thank Christina and Isaac enough for creating such an exquisite day and for entrusting me to capturing it. Wishing all the love and happiness for this sophisticated & sweet couple!

Rocked at the Nines!
Rocked at the Nines is hands down one of the best bridal shows i’ve ever seen or been in! It’s a fun and interactive show that allows the guests a peek inside several different rooms, each having a different theme, look, and color palette. For this year’s show, I was in the stunning Grand Ballroom for the “Timeless Romance” theme. I loved the golden hues and textures with lots of candle light, designed by Rachelle at Champagne Events, along with Anna Mara Flowers. The rest of the room was comprised of Ecru Stationary, West Coast Event Productions, Peekaboo Portland, Devil’s Food Catering, and the gorgeous cakes were created by La Jaconde. A beautiful event!
