It’s so amazing to see a couple so crazy in love! Bobbi Lynn & Richard love the Oregon Coast and came down from Seattle for engagement photos at Cannon Beach. These two are gorgeous and fit so perfectly together! I know their wedding this summer in Seattle will be full of so much beauty and wonderful friends & family!
Heather and Aaron’s wedding at the Hotel Vintage Plaza in downtown Portland was so wonderful! Heather put so much time into many wonderful DIY wedding details! Heather and her childhood friend hand sewed her Chuppah, that her and Aaron stood under during their ceremony. Every detail from her flowers to her wedding accessories were perfect! Heather hand made the lacy luminarias, which were made via instructions from Martha Stewart Weddings, in honor of her time living in New Mexico. They were gorgeous and surrounded by wine bottles in the wine cellar created such a romantic ambiance. Hora Tziganye, a band, played during the reception and everyone danced the Hora and other Jewish dancing! It was a day filled with so much emotion and beauty!
Heather’s beautiful dress was made by Cocoon Silk, and her awesome bolero was made my Elizabeth Dye of The English Department. The bouquet and boutonnieres were made by Sammy’s Flowers and the reset of the flowers were from New Seasons. Le Cookie Monkey made her gorgeous wedding cake!
You can so easily see how crazy in love Jen and Justin are! Their wedding at Willamette Valley Vineyards was fantastic! Jen and Justin saw to so many awesome details in their wedding!

And their reception at Willamette Valley Vineyards was spectacular! The wine cellar and the grounds made for some great photo opps! The day held clear for awesome views of the vineyard and the beautiful rolling hills in the distant. Their guests were full of such great energy! Everyone was out on the dance floor having fun, and towards the end of the night, the guys’ were out on the deck enjoying celebratory cigars! Many thanks to the fabulous Laura Marchbanks for coming from Seattle and shooting this wedding with me!
Before wedding season kicked off this year, Aaron and I decided to take our annual trip to the Southwest this year! We flew into Albuquerque, rented a car, and drove our way through some magnificent sites through New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona! It’s such an amazing part of the country, and I know we barely scratched the surface. A trip back one day will be in order to catch all the other wonderful spots we missed. The scenery was incredible! I couldn’t take enough photos of all the spectacular rock formations, it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. The sky was so blue, the sun was shining, and the food was so good! Some of my favorite cities/sites were White Sands, Santa Fe, Taos, Ghost Ranch, Valley of the Gods, Monument Valley, Sedona, and of course, the Grand Canyon!
Kathy and Mark’s beautiful and intimate ceremony took place at the Historic Deepwood Estate in Salem. It was such a heartfelt and fun day full of so much laughter! Kathy and Mark and their family are such characters! They hammed it up big time for photos! The celebration continued on at the Mission Mill Dye House, where the drinks were flowing, the band was playing, and everyone was having a great time! I’m so happy for these two!
