july july {bellingham}

i got to see my family in bellingham twice this month. took some pictures during my dad's birthday party, and on several very pleasant walks around town. even though i've never actually lived there, going there still feels like home because of all of the peace, quiet, and loveliness that comes with hanging out with my family. definitely food for my soul.

Michael & Elise {Portland Wedding Photography}

You may remember Michael and Elise from this engagement session. I was crazy excited for their wedding earlier this month at the Jenkins Estate, and it was just as beautiful and fun as I knew it would be. I loved the unique things about their day that made it so them - from Elise's lovely wedding dress and her exquisite branch-like stackable rings, to the gorgeous centerpieces that Elise's mom created. Enjoy!

Featured: Alicia & Michael {Portland Bride & Groom}

A few of my details from Alicia & Michael's gorgeous wedding are included in the Summer/Fall 2012 issue of Portland Bride & Groom magazine - check out the online feature here, or pick up the magazine at many locations in Portland! I assisted this wedding for Jay Eads. He was so generous to include me in the feature, many photographers would not do that and I'm so grateful!
